Ever since I quit Competative cheerleading I put on a few pounds. * 2 or 3 * So I started to eat better, ( no soda . little junk food ) But I cant seem to fit in time to excercise, to be honest im not so motivated to excercise. What should I do to lose weight more efficently?

♥I'm totally in the same situation. I recently just quit Competetive cheerleading and I gained weight also. I don't know about you, but there isn't any other sports that I like. I started to drink less soda and ate healthier snack alternatives. If you look at my column, I just answered a question that listed low-fat snack ideas. Also, for excersize, I definitly reccomend Tae Bo, it's a 1 hour long workout tape that burns about 1,000 calories.

Watch your weight. If you go out to dinner, or lunch or w/e just get a salad and a water. excercise will always help.

Instead of grabbing something to eat when you are not hungry grab a bottle of ice cold water. Whenever you move is an act of exercising. Try walking with friends or dancing by yourself for fun. Just find something that's fun to do. Try to eat about five small meals a day and stay away from sugars and salts. Junk food is OFF LIMITS.

You know why it is that you aren't motivated to exercise?
Its because its 2-3 pounds! That isn't anywhere near a notable difference. Hell, my dinner tonight was almost 1 pound itself, who cares about 2-3 pounds? just get over it, don't be so concerned with weight, especially that low of an amount.

Exercise does not have to be sit-ups and running every day. A vigorous house or room cleaning, walking an active dog, playing frisbee or basketball in the park with friends, babysitting some very active children, and even walking around the mall are great activities that provide you with exercise benefits without actually having to exercise.
Parking at the end of the parking lot of a store so you have to walk farther, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, adding spicy foods to your diet (revs metabolism making your body burn more fat), adding a good quality multi-vitamin to your diet, and increasing your water intake are all easy lifestyle changes that will also help you lose weight.
Good luck.
