Need to lose 20kg :( HELP! (1 Viewer)

[totallyconfused]

Hey guys, some genuine advice would be nice, thanks

Ok, so I am about 62kg, and need to lose 20kg to be ideal weight for my height (150cm ). My goal was to lose the weight over the 4 month hols post HSC, but I've been overseas last couple of month and haven't lost any weight.

So for the remainder of the holidays (~6 weeks), I've decided to strictly focus on losing weight (hoping to lose 12kg in the time). I really want to lose weight so I don't cringe/get depressed each time I see a photo of myself.

I wanted some advice on whether to go through agencies like Light & Easy/Jenny Craig, or I should try doing it on my own? My major concern is that I am a vegetarian and cannot exactly follow the guidelines they give on losing weight.

At home, I only have a treadmill for exercise - should I get a gym membership or should just running be enough for losing weight?

As for the diet, I normally eat healthy food, but I guess my biggest problem is probably eating on time (slowing down metabolism?). I usually wake up around 9am, eat breakfast/lunch at 4pm and sometimes (if hungry) then dinner at about 10pm. I don't snack in between. My eating patterns aren't intentional, but I just don't get hungry much (maybe cos I don't need much food?)

For anyone out there who's had similar weight issues as mine, how have you gone about losing weight? Any advice from anyone would be great, thanks.

a friend of mine lost a whole lot of weight by wearing a garbage bag underneath a thick jumper and running a lot.

It might be a joke to you, but I'm looking for serious advice...

Eat 500 calories less than you would per day. And do 20 min of cardio every second day.

Yeah but I'm very short, most websites say ideal weight should be 40kg for me. For the time being, I just need to get started on losing some weight- don't know what would work for me.

when you tell yourself that you need to lose 12 kilos in 6 weeks, you're almost guaranteed to fail.

set yourself smaller goals, such as a kilo a week.

So far in last 2 wks I've done about 40mins running per day, but haven't lost any weight - and they say you lose most weight in the beginning

diet's probably more important than exercise in terms of losing weight (or even gaining weight?)

 

[alex09hsc]

seriously its not fukin hard to eat less than 30 grams of fat per day and do two 40 minute intervals of strenuous exercise

every morning drink water with a couple of drops of lemon in it

stay away from anything with cafeine it slows down the metabolism heaps

and dont eat anything 3 hours before you sleep

other than that keep up the exercise and low calorie diet and you should be fine

 

[totallyconfused]

smock heaps of 5igarettes and dont eat and drink coffee and eat lemons

Ok i'm going to ignore most of that, but does coffee make you gain weight? I drink a lot of coffee (without sugar), but nonetheless.

 

[alex09hsc]

Lol yes caffeine is shit give it up.

 

[NewiJapper]

JUST eat celery for a couple of days. They ahve negative calories and exercise at the same tiem too but make sure you take a multi-vitamin at the same time

 

[alex09hsc]

-people who make u eat your feelings

Oh thanks! I didn't know about the caffeine, I guess I should stop drinking coffee then

Your advice about the morning water sounds good, I'll try that

As for the diet, I normally eat low calorie food, but I guess I should work on the timings (I usually sleep 1-2 hrs after I eat dinner).

oh and distribute your exercise over the whole day such as 10 mins before breakfast, 10 minutes before lunch and 20 minutes before sleeping

AND this one is hard but don't sleep during sunrise, (for like 45 minutes after sunrise and the 45 minutes before sunset) this time is both good for your skin and once again METABOLISM
