Don''t expect to see dramatic results in a short period of time. Start by making goals for yourself! What I did was look at myself in the mirror and see what I wanted to change and start writing it down. I myself am super insecure about my body. Make a log on your computer or better yet make a journal! Weigh yourself and write it down in your journal. This will be your starting weight. I started keeping pictures of my dream body from tumblr and put it in my phone (a little weird, yes, but it motivates you!). I looked on weight loss blogs and Instagrams and they have plenty of little facts that are helpful like what to eat, exercises, etc. YouTube has a bunch of work out videos for women that can be leveled from beginning and you can work your way up from there! Keeping a healthy diet makes a HUGE difference. Cut out soda, fast food, obvious things. Drink plenty of water. Seriously, no soda or energy drinks or Powerade or any of that. You''re literally drinking sugar. In your journal record how many calories you''ve burned every time you go to the gym and try to beat it the next time you go. The more you work out/eat healthy you''ll start feeling a lot better and less mopey and tired. Get a good nights sleep. Whatever you do don''t starve yourself. Remember to portion well. I used to starve myself and went all the way down to 95 pounds, then I started eating again and gained TEN pounds so fast! And your cravings go up! Fat gets stored in your body and it''s just bleh. When I first started working out I felt like I was getting bigger and felt like giving up, but it was just fat turning into muscle and my body needed time to adjust and i began slimming down. Another thing is to go on a mini shopping spree! I find shopping for work out clothes and water bottles and little things like that get me excited for the next time i work out. If you are really craving something and can''t take it anymore, go ahead and eat it, but in moderation. Eventually you can eat whatever you wants as long as you don''t eat a lot of it. I know I have so much more to say but I think this is the main points. Good luck!
- it takes time, it doesn''t work overnight my dear. just wait and work hard for the results. it''ll be all worth it :-)
- Of course you''re not going to get results after one week. What did you think was going to happen... And what would you consider to be a good diet? People have no clue. Try going on a no carb diet and you will see results after about three weeks if you are strict. Diet is ten times more important then actually exercising for wight loss. If you''re going to exercise, walk. It burns more fat than running.
- I am 5"4.5 and weighed almost 200 lbs when I came to stay with my mother (husband deployed). Needless to say we were both unhappy with me, when I started on the treadmill I could barely do a 2.0 pace, I was so out of shape. I have made myself do the treadmill at least 4-5x a week and am now up to a 3.8 pace on a 10 incline for 25 min minimum 5x a week. I have added pushups and forward lunges (great for butt toning) and well as squats and sit-ups. Make sure todo these in reps rather than just a bunch at once. What kept me going personally was I wanted to look good for my husband and get in shape for the jobs I''m interested in. I didn''t see any results at first, it was frustrating. Due to having a heavier bone structure I refuse to go by the scale and prefer "do I like what I see in the mirror?". I''m now wearing dresses I wore as a teenager over 12 yrs ago.
