Where to start.

Question

Okay guys, I NEED to loose all this baby weight I've gained from having kids, I want to loose my tummy flap. I just started Aleese 28 and I know last time on the pill I gained weight... Where did you guys start? 
Hubby and I are going to get passes to the gym so maybe some suggestions on what to do at the gym??

Answer

When it comes to losing weight the healthy way, it’s 80% what you eat and 20% exercise. And unfortunately you cannot spot reduce fat. You will lose weight overall. And besides cardio, it’s important to incorporate weights into your routine (does not have to be heavy), as that helps you lose fat throughout the day.

Answer

As the others said, weight loss happens in the kitchen.  There is a saying...you can’t outrun your diet.
If you can do all changes at once (diet & exercise), awesome.  If you find it to be too much change at once, focus on diet or exercise and add the other one later.  If you want to start today, focus on drinking lots of  water.  Consider a diet program with proven results.  I did WW and we ate a lot of Cooking Light 20 minute meal recipes when I lost the baby weight from my older kids.  If that sounds like too much work, try a food prep service.  I am doing the 15 day fit mom challenge that I read about here (free online).  It has a food plan that is pretty sound (my family likes their carbs so it was a little too restrictive for us).
Focus on things outside of the scale to keep you motivated.  I started an exercise program in May and was hoping to be down 15 lbs by now.  I’m not even close (my diet can improve).  My jeans fit mostly the same (slightly looser, but not something others would probably notice), but I can get through the workouts without as many modifications and my knees aren’t as sore after workouts anymore...so I am improving.

Answer

Be consistent in moving your muscles and eating well. Start small, build healthy habits and then continue sticking to those small changes overtime and they will add up. I have some workout ideas and a meal plan I can send you if you want! Shoot me a message on Instagram (@carlyhegstad) and I’ll send it your way!
