I had a baby almost 2 years ago. before i got pregnant i was a healthy toned 150 pounds, and when i got pregnant i got up to 230. once i had my daughter i had gall stones so i was put on a really rough diet and could only eat 20 grams of fat per day so i basically survived off of saltine crackers and small amounts of veggies. i ended up losing 50 pounds, and then after i had my surgery to remove the gall bladder i blew up to 230 AGAIN in a year.
i had been really pissed off with myself and embarrassed with how i look that i was too embarrassed to even leave the house to exercise! (how pathetic is that?) so i have just recently decided to go on a diet and stick with it! im living overseas with my husband and daughter and we go home in 8 months and i want to lose 70 pounds by then.
is 8 months a reasonable amount of time to lose that much weight?
i work out every other morning and i target different areas on those days in rotation.
an example of what i eat everyday is
breakfast:
2 hard boiled eggs
1 orange
1 piece of toast
Lunch:
a salad with black beans, turkey(or chicken or tuna) cucumbers, carrots, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, grapes and no dressing.
Snack:
is usually some baby carrots or an apple.
Dinner
sometimes i skip dinner, but if i dont i eat fish, grilled chicken or a bowl of soup.
i work out every other morning for 45 minutes.
Does all of this sound like its a good enough plan?
im 20, 5′7 and 230 pounds. how quickly should i start seeing results?
sorry this is so long, but i appreciate the answers.
thank you!
Also, me and my friend are dieting together and we are keeping tabs on each other threw skype. haha. and we have both been thinking about taking diet pills but are going to give it a month to see if we lose weight…would diet pills even work without hurting us?
uh how is that unhealthy? its less than 10 pounds a month……
I’ve not touched them, too controversial for me.
