Well here’s a question I just had to answering straight away:
Question: I am 19 5′3 and 175lbs How could I lose some weight but still keep my good hips and breasts? I have an hourglass figure which I am proud of but some excess weight which I’m not proud off lol
My problem is this though-I used to be slightly anorexic in my early teens due to anxiety,panic attacks and general ill mental and physical health but since I’ve become better in the last 2 years I’ve been putting on a lot of weight compared to what I used to weigh-6 stone. I have been told that it’s just my natural weight because if it wasn’t it would be easier that what it has been to lose it because it takes someone with extra fat faster to lose it rather than a person at their normal weight trying to lose some. So yeah,what could I do? Any recommendations?
Thank you!
Answer: Okay well work more your legs. Like do squats , lie down on your back and pretend you’re on a bike move your legs as if they would be on pedals , do sit-ups to tighten the tummy , and push-ups can be good too. If you want more exercises just type on google : weight loss exercises.
For the food , don’t eat too much or too little. Eat as you would regurlarly , that way the weight will come off burnt as calories (and not cause you’re starving yourself and by the way if you do that the weight comes back on in a few days) . The weight’ll come off naturarly. So don’t worry (:
I’m a girl , 5′5 , 120 pounds. But you’re not that over weight , do you want to check your BMI ? it tells you if you’re skinny , normal , average , fat , obese , etc. I’ll link the site below just i case .
Hope it helps.
EDIT : Almost forgot , drinking water before meals or instead of like coke helps a ton !
This week’s question is as follows:
Question: I haven’t exercised much for 5 years (used to play squash, swim and do circuit training), and have put on a surplace stone or 2 which i need to lose. I already eat healthily, wth lots of fruit and veg and very little "junk food" but the excess weight remains. I am not excessively overweight, but want to do something now before it becomes a problem
Cheers for all the advice and encouragement, I’ve got some great tips from you all. I’m going to try a bit of walking/ jogging tonight and see how I get on (no time like the present to get started!) I’m not completely unfit as i do walk a lot and cycle a little bit. Thanks again guys!
Answer: I would agree with the swimming as it use all your muscles and has the water for buoyancy, start slowly and as time goes on then build up you will find it will tone and the endorphins will make you feel great.
Other wonderful exercise is walking maybe getting off the bus at a stop before you own then walking to your office,going out on the weekends with friends or a partner walking somewhere this will help keep your bones healthy and is good cardio vascular.
What about Pilate’s I have become hooked and in a period of six weeks I can see a difference and it works wonders for your stomach!
What ever exercise you choose make sure it is one you enjoy as the worse thing is doing it and finding reasons not to continue.If the weight does not shift do not get despondent because it goes on quicker than coming off, just keep going and the results will appear.
Other thought a bike ride in good weather what a great way to move around and keep healthy.
Your eating sounds fine drink loads of water.
Just put your mind to it call it changing your life style and looking after your body for the future.
Good Luck
You can do it….
