Weight Loss Tricks (NTTCALR)

klbowie · June 2012

Hey Ladies,

I feel super huge today and I am trying not to break down crying at work. I really hate how my body is looking lately and it is starting to affect my emotions. I use to workout but I blew my knee out a year ago, had surgery six months ago, and still doing physical therapy (the pregnancy then subsequent mc pushed recovery further back). Do you have any secrets for a quick loss? Any yummy healthy recipes? Or any kick a** workouts you can share with me? Any weight loss trick would be appreciated. I would like to lose the weight but I want to do it the healthy way. I am hoping your suggestions help me keep my eye on the prize and not get to down on myself today! Thank you.

If you're looking for something quick to "jump start" your weight loss, you could try the flat belly diet....there is a 4 day anti bloat meal plan that it starts out with. I did that and dropped a bit of weight...maybe 2 pounds? Otherwise, I stick to running and the Biggest Loser DVD series - Last Chance Workout is a great one. I really enjoy that.

It soooooo hard to lose weight! I'm in the same boat. I downloaded No More Trouble Zones by Jillian Michaels and I L-O-V-E it. it's a whole body circuit workout and I sweat like crazy. I try to do it every other day. I've only lost a couple of lbs, but someone today asked me if I'm losing weight, so I think I look slimmer. I try to do some sort of activity every day, somedays longer than others.

I'm just trying to make good eating choices and eat 1200 calories a day. It's important to eat enough, I find for me, I have to eat or else my body just hangs on to eveything. I'm only 5'2, so 1200 seems to be a good number for me. I even turned down a FREE cupacke at lunch today!

Also, looking at fitness boards on pinterest is great "thinsperation"!

GL!

I am a huge advocate for Bikram (hot) yoga. It is a crazy intense workout (90 minutes in a room heated to at least 105 degrees). I completed a 90 day challenge where I went every day for 90 days, and I went down 2 sizes. It totally tones up your body, and its yoga, so there is no high impact or anything that would be bad for your knee. This isn't really a quick solution, but I think it really works. Not to mention I think it is the only reason I am still sane after my loss.

I did the 17 day diet last summer and had good results. I loss about 15 lbs. over the course of 3 months and have only gained a couple pounds back. Each phase is 17 days long with the first phase cutting out sugars and carbs. You can have unlimited lean protein and vegetables and 2 fruits and 2 probiotics a day in the first phase. With each phase you slowly add in good carbs such as rice and potatoes. I really liked the diet and was feeling really good while I was on it so you may want to check it out. I fell off the wagon though and need to jump back on Stick out tongue

Do you eat three meals a day or do you do smaller meals or does it matter for you?

No tricks here, but the one thing that really works for me is tracking what I eat and also how many calories I burn working out. I lost 14 lbs in 7 weeks doing that last summer via livestrong (the online tracker is free). I need to do it again but just haven't been able to make myself commit.

Thank you! I just signed up for it and playing around. Very helpful.

Thank you I will look into it! The anti bloat diet maybe a great thing saying I feel extremely bloated lately.

klbowie · June 2012

Oh thank you! I will check with my physical therapist about this. Just worried about my leg being strong enough. Its takes about a year to get the strength back and saying I'm behing I may not be cleared to do this yet. I was looking into water exercises too!

Thank you! I am having problems with the discipline. I lost 30lbs prior to my knee and was doing good. I just can't seem to get back on track. I guess tracking my food and my actual workouts would be good. I am part of the Healthy Living Check in but I just haven't been doing good.

klbowie · June 2012

Oh sounds pretty interesting. I will look into it! Thank you

I healthy "cleanse" may be just what I need. Thanks.

Accountability is very big with me. If I don't have to be held accountable for my weight loss I won't do good. I'm not enought motivation. That is why I did so good with my personal trainer.
