Weight loss support thread - Page 6

I'm a binge eater. I have constant cravings to binge.
I'm 5'8", around 155 lbs. I'm trying to lose around 20 pounds...I lost 10 and got down to 145 but come the week of my period I started binging again.
The ONLY thing that's keeping me from my weight loss goal is binging. I know how to eat right, and I play sports and go to the gym...but binging keeps all that fat on, plus it's a bad habit that I'm trying to get rid off.
Hopefully these 20 lbs come off sometime in the near future!

Hey all!! I think this thread is a great idea! I have been losing weight too and I only have 5 more lbs to shed off until I hit my goal!! I have been doing soooo much research and getting personal trainers and nutritionist that I thought I would share my tips with you!

1lb=3500cals.............try not go eat over 2000cals per day. keep a journal on what you eat.

rapid weight loss.....cardio cardio cardio
not just same thing every time
find a field and do sprint intervals!!! works like magic
run on an empty stomach....sounds painful but the results are shocking

lift weights!
this boosts your metabolism
which makes your body melt alway cals faster

try not to eat after 7pm
once your body is getting ready for bed your metabolism slows rapidly so its slows down burning those cals you ate right before bed

sleep plenty

have 3 main coarse meals and 3 snacks throughout the day
keep it persistent so your body gets used to it
if it doesn't then your body will go into starvation mode because it wont know when you will eat next so it wont burn cals fast and will store fat

eat most of your carbs during the day: whole grain/ wheat
get in your veggies and fruits!
you need at least 25gms of protein every day!!chicken is a great source of protein!

water water water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hope these few tips help ladies!!

xoxooxo GOOD LUCK

I'm starting to diet again and incorporate some 15-20 mins exercise into my daily regimen. First off, I'm drinking lots of water and cutting back on carbonated drinks. So far I lost 5lbs and my goal is to lose 15 more lbs. Just need to take down what I eat and the calorie intake. I have cut off most of the sugary stuff like chocolate, candy, ice cream. It's soooo hard to cut down carbs for me because I love potatoes and pasta. Ack! but I'm learning not to be a glutton...lol, I should be ok for the next 2-3 months to get to my goal :P

Hi guys,

I'm hoping to lose around 10-15lbs over the next few months. I've started modifying my routine (walking home from work, eating better) but I do really need to start going back the gym.

***StereoXGirl*** · 08-24-2008, 07:56 PM

Ok, so I'm not sure why I didn't post in this thread earlier!

I gained 20 lbs. and have not been able to fit into any of my old clothes.

I guess my metabolism really slowed down once I hit my mid-twenties. I'm only looking to lose 15 of the 20 lbs. that I gained for now.

Anyway, I tried walking 40 min. a day and ended up giving up after about a week and a half. I just really have a hard time with motivation when it comes to exercise...

So I gave up on that and have been on a diet for a little over a month. So far, I've lost 7 lbs. Hopefully this week I'm looking into adding pilates 3 times a week and walking for 20 min. 2 times a week. We'll see how that goes!

8 lbs. left until I reach my original goal!

i'm searching for the scale to know exactly what weight i have lost, but approximately i weigh 75 kilos. i want to weigh 65, that's the goal my endocrinologist said i should reach so i tend to trust her on that.

what i do is i do some pilates exercises, plus turbo jam, about 3 to 4 times a week, i try to work out everyday but it seems hard for my body, so i decided to slow down a bit. i also walk and use the stairs instead of the elevator when i can.

the good news is i lost a size in pants so the new one i bought a few months ago fits !! i bought it before i gained back some kilos, so i'm really happy to wear it.

That's a lot of weight to loose in 4 months... I lost 50 in 9 months.... I think 2 to 3 pounds a week is a sustainable rate if you keep at it... I did it by not eating snacks after dinner and exersizing 5 or 6 times a week....

All right Aude!!! Now you can go shopping for new clothes when you get to 65kg!!!

Loosing weight is not a big deal now days, you don't need to worry about it. As everything has a solution.
My brother was facing the same problem then his friend suggested him to try Mark Patrick's program. The
programs are just incredible and a new way to get better health. I hope that you would love to know about this.

Hey, I forgot to mention! lol! Thanks for asking...

I actually lost a little more than my original goal. Not sure yet if I'm going to continue on to try to lose the last few lbs. to completely lose all the weight I gained or stay where I'm at...
