4/25/2008 1:52:01 PM |  Hi Kim...we are in the same height/weight range...I'm down to 191lbs so far from 202lbs. Been working out since Feb. I was a real workout addict before, so I know all I need to do is just stick to it and be serious.My diet hasnt been perfect, thats why I havent lost more, but I am working on that.
I suggest: at least a 4-day workout week and strength train on 3 of those days. Do at least 30-45 mins cardio, with high intensity intervals, so that you dip into your fat stores for energy.
Most importantly, you MUST eat well. The main thing is: lower carb intake; cut out all simple carbs if you can; no sugar, and use small amounts of good fats, such as virgin olive oil, and coconut oil. Drink lots of water and have a whey protein drink after each workout.
You can move up to 5 days as you get fitter.
You must increase the amount of weights you use at least every week, in order to see good results. Good luck.
By the way, in my opinion, running is the best cardio exercise, so if you find aerobics classes boring, you can break it up by running/jogging.

Im back in 140's and still tend to lose weight but anywho. I tried the adkins diet and yes you do have to committ to that diet it is definetly strick. I've gone to jenny craig and i find counting calories to be the most EASY diet ever!

If you have gotten any good advise could you please pass it on. I am a 31 yr old who quit smoking and went off birth control. Now I am as big as I was when I was pregnant almost 10 years ago and it's starting to get me down. My boyfriend says he still loves me but I cry anyway. I don't like feeling this way. Nothing fits anymore either.

2/17/2005 10:11:03 PM | basically insteed of watchin tv at nite i will so sit ups and push ups leg lifts, i sort of made my own pilates. i never worked out im 20 and in college i hated the gym. i went from 190 to 170 at 5"10 thats good..i lost 20lbs since jan. i just work out everyday when im bored or when im watchin tv. dont do it all at once though space it out because its easier and you will probably give it more time. I also tried to cut out carbs in my snacks. i eat a small breakfast and lunch and dinner i only have one snack. weigh yourself and take measurments before u start so you can see if it works. GOOD LUCK..
