Could Someone Give Me a Weight Loss Plan for Just a Day That I Can Keep Repeating?

Keep the weight loss questions coming! I liked this one:

Question: I’m female. Twenty-one years old. 5′3". 160 lbs. I want to lose 30 of those pounds. Ok folks..I want to lose weight and love variety. However; I tend to cheat with variety. I’m a routine kind of person. Could someone give me a basic eating and exercise plan that I could live with basically every single day? Sure I’ll tweak it if something becomes way too repetitive or boring. I’ve always been overweight and am someone that needs direction and basically..someone telling me how. Then I’ll take it from there. Thanks!
Answer: Run 1 mile (walk as needed but resume running)
try to build up to do 30 push ups
build up to 50 sit ups
100 squats
20 leg levers
5-10 burpees
2 pull ups
100 jumping jacks
8 count bodybuilders(20)
30 4 count Chase the rabbit(mountain climbers)
50 4 count flutter kicks
10 Dive bomber push ups
Good morning darlings
***Note these work outs are bodyweight based workouts no need for weights and such but they can be added for more of a challenge later on***
as for eating plan the best i got for you is this its called the paleo diet which is simply eat when you are really hungry and eat natural foods http://paleodietlifestyle.com/

Help with Weight Loss?

Another weight loss question has come in this week. Let’s tackle it straight away:

Question: I need to lose weight about 50 to 70 pounds as fast as possible. My husband and i want to have another baby before he deploys but he will be deploying in this August so that doesn’t leave me much time especially if i don’t get pregnant right away. My problem areas are places like my thighs, my lower stomach, and my "love handles" i don’t know exactly what to call that my stomach isn’t like saggy or anything it barely touches my thighs when i sit. i hope that gives you an idea. I am 5ft 6inches tall and i weigh about 230 lbs.
Answer: 1 Dietary Balance and reading labels: watch what you eat, and expend more energy than you consume. It’s really that simple. This involves some calculation. Eat less and eat at least five meals a day. Your actual caloric requirement can differ depending on your height, weight, activity level and your body’s metabolic rate.

2 Identify your exercise. No exercise was created equal. You might like running, so run. You might like jogging, so jog. You might like stationary bikes, so bike stationary. Find the one that works best for you. Don’t pick a routine that you don’t like and won’t stick with it for long.

3 Try yoga. Yoga is one of the best ways of losing weight. Of course I can’t go into a full lecture about yoga over here but I can tell you that I have never seen people with better-toned bodies than those who practice yoga. One of the benefits of yoga is that you learn to control virtually every muscle and joint of your body so that the issue of weight gain will cease to exist.

4 Photos and Joining online support group : Take before and after photos. There’s no easier way to illustrate your progress. It’s essential that you not feel alone, and reaching out to friends helps as they know things that you couldn’t possibly know, and they’ve probably been “in your shoes” at some point in the past (or present). Share stories, laughter, tears, successes, and failures. There are thousands of communities out there, so keep looking until you find one that fits you.

5 Water you waiting for If you’re not drinking enough water, your body will let you know. Thirst is an amazing sensation – quench it. If you’re not hydrated, your body won’t be working at peak levels. If you’re worried about “water weight,” remember that you’re likely to retain more water when you’re not giving your body enough of it in the first place. I’m not going to dictate how many glasses you should drink, though – as that’s going to vary from person to person.

6 Zone out. There’s a reason why people exercise to their favorite music – listening to external stimulus takes your mind off of the physical activity making “exercise time” fly or situate yourself in front of TV or video games involving exercises.

7 Dance Out Do Salsa,tango, swing ,hip-hop dancing etc. Anyone can do it,keep in mind you are dancing to increase your physical activity, so there is no pressure on how well you perform dance. Who knows you might even learn a cool dance move or two

8 Sleep it off. To be an efficient fat-burning machine, If you think that you’re doing yourself a favor by sleeping less, you’re mistaken. Give your body time to rest itself, both mentally and physically. Sleep is very, very important.

9 Keep a food diary. All you have to do is jot down what, when, and how much you eat in a notebook, or you can do it online at a Web site . A food diary gives a clear picture of your current eating habits so you can identify the changes you need to make to lose weight.

10 Be motivated.You need to believe in yourself!. Learn to evaluate your efforts fairly and objectively. When you have thought of giving up, visualize how good you will look when you manage to slim down successfully.
