100lbs overweight- where do I start
I want to start losing some weight. I've started to eat healthier and am ready to start moving around a bit. I am 5'4'' and 100lbs overweight. I'm female also :) What is a good way to incorporate excersise into my day so that I don't get overwhelmed right away and quit. What should I start with and when is a good time to add in more activites?! Help! Please... I don't know where else to go with this. Please respond with nice/ constructive responses.. thanks.
Answer:Push away from the table once in a while.
the best is to join a weight loss program, they help you and they cangive you excellent tips.
i was on weight watchers and honestly it was the best hting i ever did. i lost 20 kilos and havekept it off for over 2 years now, they are supportive and yes you do have to pay once a week for your class but it is so worth it!
Walking is a good place to start...3O minutes a day to start, 7 days a week..gradually add more time.and eventually more difficulty (climbing up a hill, trails etc). Start slow, put on a headset with tunes and walk your way to freedom and health! Good luck!
OH! and drink a TON of water! It helps with appetite!
You have already started!! Good job. I would suggest you start doing activities that sound fun to you. For example, belly dancing or a hip hop class. Group settings make it easier for you to stick with it too since you usually don't want to walk out in the middle of a class. Walking is good but personally I find it rather boring. I have heard great things about Curves but I do not have any personal experience with it. Just have fun and keep up the good work.
Okay first start out easy, even a brisk 20 minute walk a day can get you onto a good start. Gradually, start jogging instead of walking. Cut down your calorie intake. If your calorie intake is 2,000 calories start cutting down by 200 calories and then you want to end up with a balanced 1,300 calorie diet. I really suggest joining a gym if you can, if not jogging around your neighborhood or even taking a plunge in the pool will help you out for a good start.
