Looking to lose some weight

post #1

07-05-2015 at 12:09 am

So I gained like 20ish pounds over the last year or so and I would like to drop it by September. Any tips? I think 10 pounds a month is a good and reasonable amount.

When I was losing weight I cut out alcohol, soda, drank nothing but water and coffee. I also avoided fast food and went on my treadmill 1 hour a day, 7 days a week. Then 3 days out of the week I would lift weights. I lost like 15 pounds in two weeks doing that, then gained 5 back but was all muscle.

Don't over do yourself. Cut out obvious junk food and just move more. 20 pounds is not a lot!

Try just doing body work, like crunches, lunges, ect sometimes that is enough if all else fails, walk! My sister swears by walking for her weight loss.

Get yourself a kettlebell. Can't afford it? Use a db or a free weight and do the kettle swing. My friend lost 50 pounds in 3 months ONLY doing this move. He did 100 to 300 a day without fail. He increased the weight as needed.

I am cutting out fast food for the most part. I am only going to eat it 2 times a month instead of 2-3 times a week. Thanks for your advice

I heard of kettle bells being amazing. I am going to look into this. How much do they cost? I would imagine I can get one for like $10 right?
