Lose 10 Pounds in 5 Weeks
I just came across this blog looking for some new healthy cooking recipes.
I'm a trainer for a MMA gym in Corona. I read alot of your comments and I know how alot of you feel. I have had issues with my weight in the past. I just want to give you some really easy suggestions to get started. First THINK and I mean really Think about what you do daily. What food do I consume how much? What do I do for exercise? The human body is like a machine Think about this you would not but 50 dollars in gas in you tank when it's almost full already right!!! Lower the amounts of food you eat increase the frequency. Smaller amounts are easier for the body to digest poperly. Second walking is a great start swimming but most of all trying TRYING yeah thats right try new things go to the mountains for a walk the beach get outside. Third find support freinds family neighbors groups. For me it was myself that held me back . You can be your worst enemy when it comes to your weight loss. Good luck to you all stay positive and remember there are lots of people out there right now trying just like you.....
hello everyone, i just joined this group and reading all your comments have raised my level of expectation when it comes to loosing weight.
I'm currently at 173lbs 5.5ft, 34yrs of age and started going to the gym about 2weeks ago, and have lost 2lbs so far, and been eating less than before. Its not easy eating less or getting your stomach used to it, when you have been eating lots of food all your life.
for those trying to loose weight, do it the right way and do plenty of exercise and trust me you'll feel much better after every work out.
I use to work at a job where I would move around A LOT..and while I was there I weighed 130. But now I work at an office job where i'm sitting down 10hrs a day. I've been here for about 1 1/2 yrs and I've gained about 25 lbs. And just last week I joined the gym and I've been going for about an Hour and a half every day. Even in the morning around 5:00am because I heard you burn more in the morning. I've been eating better. I cut down on calories, drinking more water, and snacking daily. This is my 2nd week, and I've noticed that I have more energy and I'm happier. I'm hoping to lose those 25 lbs..any tips or advice? I would like some feedback from those of you that are doing this and have been going at it a tad bit longer than I have. Just to have an Idea of when I'll see results. Thank You!

Week 1: For the next five weeks, burn fat and get fit simply by walking. You can walk indoors on a treadmill or outside on the sidewalk, a track or a trail. You can also use this plan with cardio machines.
Each routine starts with a warm-up and then is broken into series of slower and faster, or easier and harder, intervals. The harder intervals push you to work at a more vigorous intensity. At the "race pace," speed up your walk. At a "roarin' pace," either speed up or find other ways to increase the intensity: jogging, climbing stairs, doing jumping jacks, jumping rope, or stepping up and down off a step. These intervals should feel hard.
If you are overweight and unfit, you may not be ready to jump or jog, or even speed up too much. If so, don't go faster than a brisk walk if that's a sufficient challenge. Catch your breath during the easy intervals. If any routine feels to difficult, shorten the workout or lower your exercise intensity by slowing down.
