Posted by LadyCryssyYou can eat "healthy" but you won't lose weight unless you have a calorie deficit. That's where exercise comes in. Exercise will help you increase the amount of calories your body is using each day.
ok, Thank you. I only want to lose 15lbs and tone around my stomach. So I should just keep eating healthy?
Posted by lesenfantterriblesIf it's too restrictive then most people won't keep it up. You have said yourself that you are slipped a few times and suffered reactions. For the person who doesn't suffer a reaction, it's much harder to stick with an unrealistic and impractical plan.Posted by jeanecan't restrictive meal plans become habit?
A word of warning about fad diets. If they are too restrictive you will see results quickly, however it's highly likely you won't be able to keep it up, go on a binge spree and put the weight (and more) back on again.
They say that 95% fail to keep the weight off after 5 years. It's much better to change your habits rather that go on some sort of restricted plan.
thats what happened to me. i saw results and stuck w/ it. been going strong for 2 years now w/ no desire to binge.click to expand
Posted by lesenfantterriblesPosted by jeaneim sorry, where exactly did i say i "slipped"? i associate slipping w/ eating something bc i have no control. i make very conscious decisions when i eat things outside of my diet (ie: rice, cheese, mangoes).Posted by lesenfantterriblesIf it's too restrictive then most people won't keep it up.

like i said, i never started the diet to lose weight. i have never ever been over weight. i simply have allergic reactions. so, i eliminated a lot of things for months, then i reincorporated certain foods and paid attention to which foods made me react.
i see results, i stick with what i am doing.
i never knew eating a diet of veggies & lean meats was considered impractical ??♀️

Posted by LadyNeptuneYes that's true, and I def don't want to lose my butt. Do you recommend any core exercises
The problem with going overboard with the cardio is you can lose good fat from your tits and ass. I'd focus less on the scale and more on building a stronger core and eating healthy meals.
Posted by DreamyboyWhats your secret?
Pm me. I've lost almost 40 lbs of weight in 3 months. I've also successfully helped a cousin, a friend, and a neighbor lose weight with my old diet. They are all mother's and are seeing successful results.

Posted by lesenfantterriblesThank you I will look into that. Also im proud of you for sticking to your diet and taking care of your health. That's awesome!
eat lotsa veggies & lean meats! try & stay away from super carb-y things. processed sugars are also a major culprit.
when i started exercising, i downloaded the jillian michaels (i think thats her name? the trainer from biggest loser?) 20 minute exercise routines. it was only like $ 5- $ 8 thru itunes store i think.
there are 3 levels & you work your way up. it is only 20 minutes but they are INTENSE routines.
crunches, squats etc will help with toning abs & legs
i have a crazy diet (no grains, no breads, no sugar. pretty much only veggies & meats) & shed like 5 lbs in the first 1.5 week alone, w/ out exercise. although, my diet is for health/allergy reasons, not weight related.
good luck!!

Posted by LadyCryssyI have had two large babies. Two videos helped... each time.
I've been trying dieting but it frustrates me. Before I gave birth to my daughter I would spend hours in the gym and eat as much food as I want. Can anyone recommend some home exercise videos? I don't have time for the gym anymore since I have a 1 year old, in college full time and work full time.
Posted by DistilledSry I missed this...Posted by LadyNeptuneWhat kind of cardio?

That's all I do and I don't loose those fats. Not only that I don't really want to, lol. But I prob will if I do something like yoga. Happened to some of my friends- mind you, they look good either way. all females I know who do yoga seriously have flat stomachs.
Cardio I do is walking, jogging, biking, soccer swimming if I can.

Posted by shaymaciKeep in mind that the faster you drop weight the more it shows itself in loose skin. It's almost better to go the slow and steady route.Posted by LadyCryssyAs much as possible. I have a 6 month old baby.Posted by shaymaciHow much are you trying to loose

It took you 9 months to gain that weight. You created life so you get a pass.

Posted by SodapopI haven't thought about that. I was thinking that maybe I'm not working hard enough or maybe I'm not being consistent. I gained 35lbs during my pregnancy and I only have 10-15lbs left. Its coming off, but its coming off slowly
Have you checked out your thyroid by any chance? I was stuck at a specific weight and it wasn't coming down no matter what I do, then my doctor ran tests and found out my thyroid that controls metabolism was like fuck it, not working. Giving birth could trigger your thyroid to slack.
I'm on meds now and the weight is coming off easily! FINALLY.
Posted by ScorpioTruthHmmmm maybe I should go talk to my PCP. I've been very fatigue and I thought I was working too hard or not eating healthy enough. I didn't know all of my symptoms could correlate to pregnancy.Posted by SodapopMy doctor started me on cytomel after diagnosing me with hashimotos.. I'm not crazy over weight but since having my son almost 3 years ago I've been unable to shed these last stubborn 10 lbs or so. I'm also exhausted all of the time and never have energy to work out, so really hoping this helps.
