Weight loss help?

Question

My husband and I are wanting to loose weight together... We needed a little competition to get us motivated, so we decided to see who could loose the most weight over two weeks... We are weighing in tomorrow night and then on the 30th were going to weigh again. 
Any suggestions on the certain foods and exercises that help the most?

Answer

I lost about 50 lbs a few years ago on Weight Watchers. I'm not a member anymore, and I still need to lose more.
In the past 2.5 months I've been using MyFitnessPal and I've lost more already.
The best ways to eat healthy are:
Cut out white foods (sugars, white bread, white potatoes etc)
Eat more veggies and fruits daily (more veggies than fruits because even though fruits are good for you they still have natural sugars)
Less processed/packaged foods

Answer

I really like the my fitness pal app, it's free for iPhones. It helps me track my food, set nutritioun and workout goals, and helps me balance carbs/fats/proteins. I try to work out 4 days a week (3 cardio 1 strength) and eat well. Take it slow :) I'm not a fan of "diets", I yo-yo when I try that. Maybe try a joint sport with the hubby? Either way, good luck !

Answer

If you want to work out together at home, I like doing Jillian Michaels videos with my husband. Sometimes it ups the competition to be working out at the same time haha

Answer

My husband and i also have a friendly competition going.   He cut his soda consumption to one a day and is going for walks with me and the kids (he also had a very active job, farmer).  I joined myfitnesspal, and take walks. We have both lost 30 pounds so far, hubby is actually closer to 35.

Answer

Myfitnesspal app. Really helps keep track of calories and making sure you dont over eat. Worked for me at least.

Answer

Try to cut back on your intake of calories (this is usually a problem for most people) using an app like my fitness pal is great because it tells you what your intake should be and how it should be balanced. Eating processed foods, like Mac n cheese or frozen meals is horrible. Try to eat chicken and rice and vegetables and cut out all carbs after 3pm:) on top of eating healthy, try to get some exercise in. 1 mile long walk everyday will be great for you! Drink lots of water! Good luck!

Answer

Don't restrict calories. In the end you need to learn how to eat properly as a lifestyle to keep the weight off and eating a few calories isn't something you'll want to stick to forever.

For weightloss, I suggest simply cutting back on the sugar and processed foods--ie anything you can get from a box or package (with the exception of certain frozen vegetables. But it can't be a prepped meal.) Buy actual food that you can usually get at the perimeter of the food markets.

As for exercise, try running and biking gor half an hour is enough and lift weights. If you don't know how to lift free weights, use the machines that have directions on how to use or do body weight exercises that you can find online. If you aren't comfortable enough for that yet, stick to the running and healthy diet and you will shed pounds.
