lovinmyself101 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I have given myself 1 year to be back to my pre-baby weight. My son will turn 1 on October 6. When I left the hospital, I weighed 205. I am 5'5". Very porportioned. Anyway, as of today I weigh...let me check the scale....185. So in 10 months, I have only lost 20 lbs....not good. I now have 8 weeks to loose another 25 lbs. I don't know where to begin. I thought about beginning with a fast to detox (TMI---a little constapated.) I think that I should do cardio for 45 min per day and cut my calories to 1000-1200. Sounds easy---NOT...Does anyone have any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites
mark982 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 your last 2 sentences hit the nail on the head. hit the treadmill(or run) cut your cals. it's basically simple,just takes willpower. Link to post Share on other sites
GorillaTheater Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I honestly don't know that much about dieting, and less than I care to admit about effective exercise programs; but I'm a little concerned that your expectations may not be entirely realistic. I'm not sure you can lose that much weight that quickly in a healthy and lasting way. Yes, cut calories and step up the cardio, but maybe not to the extent you're planning.

ttree Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I was in the same boat for a year flogging my guts out to shift some lbs and got nowhere. I'm same height as you and was roughly same weight too, i did an hour a day cardio and was down to 1000 kcal and still nothing. Eventually what I did was substitute half my meat intake for Quorn as its lower fat (so i'd say do 50/50 in pasta or something), i'd stick to 1000 calories a day, less than 5% fat and did the cardio and I started to see really slow improvement. Recently I found that you can buy Orlistat over the counter at your pharmacy without prescription- It is a weightloss drug and since I am seeing really good but healthy weightloss and now am down to just over 10 stone, maybe you could try that its brand name is Alli. Good Luck with the diet Link to post Share on other sites
