Working out.


Question Posted Monday February 23 2009, 6:22 pm

F/16

Okay, so I used to be overweight, and I lost like 40lbs by exercising and watching what I ate (it took a year, but I finally got it off.) Now, I wanna lose 15lbs, (just to stabilize my weight because I am almost overweight, I am 5'7 and I weigh about 160, sometimes 154.) I really want to weigh 145 by summer and I want to tone up so that I can wear a bathing suit, I'm a lifeguard, and not be uncomfortable in my body for once in my life. I work out for an hour once a day, and take one day off once a week. And I keep an eye on what I eat, it's not monitored extremely well, but I watch my portions and snacks and all.

Anyway, I would like to know if you guys have any advice for how to lose that weight and get toned and in shape by summer? Any advice would be appreciated (:

What you're doing now does sound great!


The only suggestion I'd make is really keeping an eye on your snack habits. Try eating healthy snacks, like fruits or yogurt. Doing something simple like that can make a huge difference.


Here are a few good websites I found for you:

Hi,
I think what you're doing already is perfect. Sometimes your body with reach a plateau where you can't seem to lose any more weight. When this happens, try to shake things up a little by doing something your body isn't accustomed to.
Such things are: delete a different food from your diet, a different workout routine, maybe weights. All of these things can help. Keep up the good work. I hope I helped.
Good luck
