I managed to lose 27 lbs. from Dec.4 2011 till march 1 2012. I chose to ignore most diets and opted to do hours of research on google. I set my goal for three months to go from 211 lbs. to 180 lbs. Lean muscle training with the right foods. So light weights with lots of sets with fewer reps. Need to do exercise to cover from your head to toes three days a week. 20 min. in the morning and 20 min. in the evening and 8 hours sleep. "Only the begining"you must find your own comfort groove so it become a routine of enjoyment. Working out alone is not fun get a friend pumped to get buff and sexy with you. Now onto food, there is a lot of bull**** labels on dieting and the marketing of food. # 1 no sugar, #2 no sodium, #3 stay away from processed foods that have stuff on the label that you can`t spell off the top of your head. Preservatives once in your body are like toxins that preserve your fat. Eggs for breakfast with slice tomato ( no home fries ) cook with low sodium butter or olive oil. Fiber one cereal with skimmed or 1% milk. Small snack between breakfast and lunch (pears or apple) have a turkey or chicken sandwich for lunch with low sodium soup (no crackers and i loose the bread for the sandwich) get it... Snack between lunch and supper try almonds and veggies like celery and peppers, tomatoes. Supper will have to be one moderate plate of goodness such as skinless chicken with brown rise and peas or Brussel sprouts. Plan something to snack on in evening like cut up celery with lemon juice and pepper or dill flakes. Remember you must find goodness foods you will like or you won`t stick to the diet. The main trick I found is to eat 6 times a day no bigger than your fist. This will help shrink your stomach so you are not hungary all the time. There is no miracle diets only your self motivation and determination. Start today for a healthier tomorrow, I did and the abs are starting to show and I feel better about what I see in the mirror. Try not to care what other think! Hi Peggy, Im 48 and I have a bad back. I managed to lose 27 lbs. from Dec.4 2011 till march 1 2012.

Eating after your workout is advised to prevent muscle wastage though. Something light like some fruits is ideal.

Last year I lost 13 pounds in 6 weeks with a personal trainer but to be honest the gym membership and personal training sessions were too expensive. I kept up running 3 times a week, doing about 6 miles per day up a mountain where I had lots of varying incline and terrain. I felt great but I couldn’t lose any more weight. I actually don’t care about weight it's just my middle section that looks bad in t-shirts and is really stressing me out. At the moment I have relocated to Canada. I walk the 2 miles to work and 2 miles home at a brisk pace (its pretty cold!!) and end up working a bit of a sweat even in -15 lol! My typical day consists of the following: Breakfast: Rice Krispies with Semi-Skimmed Milk and glass or two of Pure Orange (not from concentrate) —Walk to work, brisk pace—work 8 hours, 5 days a week— Lunch: Bagel with a little butter, 6 slices of tomato and a little Parmesan cheese sprinkled. Cup of coffee with skimmed milk —Walk home, brisk pace— Dinner: Usually either of the following: A bowl or two of homemade Irish Stew with carrots, onion and meat. OR Shepard's pie with carrots and onions and meat. OR Chicken Fajitas (3-4) OR Spaghetti Bolognaise. I usually have either a couple of glasses of pure orange or a bottle of Pepsi Max. I don’t usually eat any more than that, perhaps the occasional few chips, a biscuit or something like that. Nothing much at all and I do believe in having a little of what you like can’t be bad. I’m just wondering is there any more exercises I can do other than walking. It's very dangerous to run outside as there too much ice. I just really need to get rid of these love handles!!! Any help would be amazing :) Thanks Hi I am wondering why I have so much weight around my stomach and “love handles”.

Firstly, to lose 1kg a week you need to reduce daily calorific intake by 1000kcal a day below your maintenance level. So for a 24 year old woman that is around 1350, if you are doing a lot of exercise, or 1100 if you are not doing much exercise (see <a href="http://www.motleyhealth.com/lose-weight/how-many-calories-do-you-need-each-day" rel="nofollow">How Many Calories Do You Need</a>). Diet must remain healthy and well balanced though - so make every calorie count (i.e. full of nutrients, no empty carbs). For exercise, a combination of bodyweight circuit training, intensive cardio and weight training works best. Try our <a href="http://www.motleyhealth.com/fitness/7-day-exercise-plan-for-fitness-and-weight-loss" rel="nofollow">weekly fitness workout</a> and see how you get on, Hi Sushma.
