Can someone suggest safe weight loss?
Posted on November 22nd, 2009 by admin
I am a 17 year old girl and my doctor suggests I try and lose some weight. I would like to do this as safely as possible. (I mean actual fat loss.) Does anyone know how much I would need to exercise at a gym and for how long to lose at least three pounds, keeping in mind a healthy diet as well?
okay first as far as i am concerned…to lose weight, you need to love how you look first…beauty and the object of change comes from within and if you dont feel like you are beautiful i can say for certian you wont lose any weight. You are beautiful the way you are…
As for losing weight safely, its hard…you need to eat less and more often. small meals ever couple hours will boost you metablism. Excersing take it easy and start off slow. Take a walk everyday and the same time. After 1 week start walking 2 or 3 times a day. Walk about a mile or so… Then after another week speed walk, dont lift weights unless you want huge man muscles. If you really dont want to do it by yourself, join weight watchers (they are very cheap and they give lots of help) or join curves its a womens gym the cater to our needs (they are also very cheap for a membership and the assistants are really nice)
If you start losing weight like more then 3 pounds a week, its not that its not healthy its just it could hurt your system, so if you come to one week where you’ve lost 7 or 8 pounds its no big deal.
I hope this helps you, i know what its like to be told by my doctor that i should lose some weight. This is what I did. But i wasnt happy with me because of my self confidence issues. I dont know about you…if you need any support please contact me…i will give you words of wisdom from someone who has been in your place and done what your doing. Its going to be hard but I know you can do it. So far i have lost 40 lbs. and still going strong. I was 200lbs. and now i am a more healthy and happy 160lbs.
Be safe and happy and healthy…
