losing weight


Question Posted Wednesday January 31 2007, 4:43 pm

I really want to lose weight but i'm just way too lazy to do anything and i don't know if i could really commit if i start. So how do i get my lazy butt of this computer chair and start toning up? And does anyone have some exercise tips like say do 10 push ups today and add 10 more the next day? Thanks!

Hey. Yeah you sound like me and more than half of the people out there. It's so hard to commit to a diet when the food all looks so good =). But anyways, what I try to do is make it fun for myself and make a diet and excercise plan. I write down a schedule for myself to do every day and try to stick with it. Diets aren't really about eating less but more of eating Right. Just push yourself to stick with eating salads, or soup and potatoes with sliced meatloaf. Set a time amount for yourself (such as one month, 3 months, less, or longer) and write this on your schedule too. If you have a tredmill you can run on it for 20 or 30 minutes per day too. If you don't and don't want to use equipment you can do a certain amount of jumping jacks per day, push-ups, sit-ups, crunches etc. The pyramiding (adding on to the amount of excercises each day)sounds good and I would stick with that. As long as you have an organized schedule you can do it! I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

Hey.
I'm a runner and believe me when i started i never felt better in my life. You lose wight you become very fit !! AND if you run past guyz they will stare at you. Guyz love in shape girlz !! Running is a quick fast way to lose wight and even if you have to walk some its better then sitting in a computer chair doing nothing !! If you can't seem to run start out with a little area and then start going father and longer. Before you know it you'll lose weight like crazy and be able to run farther and longer which makes you lose even MORE weight. So get up try it !! Trust me it works.
hope this helps !!

Well from what you've said it sounds like you are like most of us. You want results but you don't want to do anything to get them or you just don't know where to start.
First of all, start out small. Nobody expects you to start running marathons tomorrow. Start by doing ten pushups and sit ups a night.. or if that's too much then do five. Just as much as you can handle. Start out small. Walks after dinner are a great way to burn off calories. Go with a friend, family member or even the dog would appreciate a walk with you.
Second of all, goals goals goals!! I cannot emphasize goal setting enough. Setting small, reachable goals THAT ARE REALISTIC help to keep you from quitting or saying 'this is stupid'. Set weekly or monthly goals. Like 'I want to be able to slowly jog 1/2 a mile without stopping by March 1st'. Work towards that goal by walking/jogging everyday. Increase the legnth of your jogs when it gets easy for you.
Working out with your favorite music is fun too.
Good luck!!
