I think I'd take a hard pass on that one lol
That's a good idea, Jen. No pressure to buy then, either.
It might cost you a few dollars, but have you thought of splashing out ona session with a stylist?
It's a great way to try out things that you might not normally consider for yourself.
Good plan. :) Good luck, please post back if you need more help or just want to vent. That's what we're all here for! :D
Sure! Running would be great.
Obviously, I don't know anything about your medical history - it would probably be a good idea to see your Doc and get a general health check before you start doing anything really strenuous.
OK, that's not a bad plan to start off with. If you're going to try to cut meat out, it's important that you make sure you replace the protein and iron in your diet, so make sure that you eat plenty of leafy green vegetables and also try to use a high protein meat substitute occasionally. If you feel like you're going to struggle with that, get some suppliments.
Walking is great, but ideally you need to do something that raises your heart rate (makes you out of breath and sweat). If you only feel up to walking, try speeding up as much as possible - like power walking.
No, if you're trying to lose spot weight, it means that you're trying to target one specific area (in your case, your stomach).
I was in the same spot as you myself, about two years ago.
First up, here's the bad news: It's not possible to lose 'spot weight', you're going to have to lose weight overall.
We'd probably need to know more to help you - like, what's your diet like, do you do any exercise?
The good news is that despite having some peaks and troughs, I've lost the weight and more or less kept it off. I wouldn't go so far as to say that's it's easy (particularly not with bi-polar disorder), but it is do-able.
That's very true, TG. I think a lot of the so called obesity crisis is down to the fact that people don't cook properly any more. Too many take outs and TV dinners!
Dark chocolate if you really must have something sweet (NEVER milk - it's a killer) and exercise. Move more, eat less.
I've personally never used them. I do work with someone who swears by them, and I can say with certainty that she's lost weight. I have no idea what else she's doing though - for all I know she could be running half marathons every weekend.
I'm going to come across as old and crabby now, but seriously...enough with the fad diets lol. I don't know a lot about it, but it sounds like Atkins, the cabbage diet, the soup diet and all the rest of them.
