summers coming and i want to loose 25lbs over break for my junior year. i mainly want to loose weight in my gut and thighs, and perhaps back (weird, i know).
what i need is good diet tips.
motivational tips that will help me.
meals that will help fill me up so i don't overeat.
and a workout plan that is effective on the parts i want to tone/loose weight in.
1) treadmill/stairmaster/stationary bike
2) bike riding
3) aerobics class
4) jogging or walking
5) swimming laps
Planning out your excerise regime is the easy part, but staying motivated can be hard, especially since it takes a few months to start seeing the results. A few tips for staying motivated:
1) If you can, bring a magazine, an ipod, or a book on tape while you exercise, to make it more enjoyable.
2) Make short-term goals and reward yourself when you accomplish them. For instance, for every 5 days you exercise, get yourself a pedicure or a new pair of earrings.
3) Even if you don't feel like exercising, force yourself to do it. It's really easy to get out of the habit if you miss one or two times! But once you get into the habit, it really does make you feel good and you want to keep it up!

You need to see your doctor as well for the simple reason that they know what weight you have to be to be healthy and what weight you cannot be as well as what weight means you're under weight for your specific height.
It is the doctor who should put you on a diet plan that works for you and is tailored to meet your needs. It will be one you can follow. They'll show you how to cook differently, eat differently and give advice on proper portions.
They can also refer you to a nutritionist who can talk to you about portions, food groups, what to eat and what not to eat and give you actual meal plans and help with recipies and monitoring your weight.
Essentially, you can eat anything you would like to eat but in moderation and that's something a nutritionist and family doctor can give you great advice on. I would start with them as they'll teach you how to eat sensibly and not overeat.
It's dangerous to follow tips anyone who doesn't know your medical history can offer. You always need to see a doctor before going on a diet of any type or a new exercise plan.

Because summers here, you could go walking. That will tone your legs. Doing crunches can help you loose some of your gut. Good luck! Let me know how you do! Hope my advice helps! ♥ Jenny [ gsngirl7's advice column | Ask gsngirl7 A Question ]

Try running, swimming or anything really. Running will help ALOT. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
