Far too overweight.


Question Posted Saturday February 25 2006, 4:14 pm

Okay, I'm 21/f and have always struggled with my weight. I'm 5'5" and I weigh just under 12 stone (I think around 167 lbs). It doesn't help that i'm pretty muscular as I play sports. I'm the sort of girl who can lose weight really easily but can also put on weight equally as quickly. I know the easiest way for me to lose weight is to do a lot of exercise, as I can lose about 3 lbs a week as well as getting toned up. Problem is I have absolutely no motivation to do anything at all, let alone exercise. Also I've just been living off takeaways and junk food for the past two weeks which obviously isn't helping. I know I need to eat right but at the moment like I said I ahve no motivation, so can't be bothered to cook for myself.

I don't know how to get myself out of this slump! I know what I need to do, but I don't know how I can get my motivation levels up. The whole thing is making me really miserable. Please help.

Based on your height, weight, and the fact that you play sports, you may not actually be overweight. Muscle weighs more than fat and the fact that you can lose weight quickly means that your metabolism is working well. Not everyone is made to look like Angelina Jolie, and the more women who take a stand and say, "This is the way I look; I'm healthy and beautiful," the less people will have unrealistic expectaions. As far as the junk food goes, try healthy replacements, like soy chips or dried fruit.

ok i feel your PAIN! i think i'm overwieght too but all my friends say i'm not. anyway...i think that you should skip the junk food and mcdonalds or whatever. then i think that you should buy more healthier food like: whole grains and drink A LOT of water. try and do atleast 10 situps everyday and to maybe walk or run once a week. Motivation? just the fact that you'd look GORGOUS! that will be enough and sooner or later you'll be fittin into cuter clothes and gettin second looks. ;) rate me if i helped! i'm new at this hehe

Welp, you said that you play sports, so I'd think that could be your modivation. If you're not playing any sports now, then you could try and find something that you can do all around. Something good that you can do all around is Martial Arts, because it requires strength from all parts of the body and its something that you could do every session. Although in the meanwile, you still have to eat right, and try try TRY to stay active and healthy. The little things do help
