Trying to lose weight

Jasmine
Hey guys, so according to my BMI I'm "obese" and I definitely need to get my butt into gear and lose weight. My husband and I are trying to conceive and I know lowering my BMI will help with that and it will help solve my NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). But I just don't know where to start. I work a part time job but it's still 4-5 days a week and 8 hour shifts. I work in retail so I do a lot of standing and walking and by the time I get home I'm exhausted. Is there any tips of what I can do to start and make this adjustment easier?

Eat right first second try to walk at least half hour 3 days a week at the least. Make sure to stay hydrated and kick all sugar drinks like soda! Minimize starches. Look up the paleo diet. It's basically cutting out starches , dairy and bread (carbs). Everything else you can eat as much as you want. I know someone who went down 2 shirt sizes and got off high blood pressure medicine because of it. There is this rubber band thing (not sure what to call it) that is easy and you can do quick works outs before work. Even if it's only weekends it's something.

I felt the same way! The good news is that it works AND there's a moneyback guarantee, so no risk! Are you on FB? I can send you some info on there.

Nutrition is a big part so if you can plan out your healthy meals and drink LOTS of water it helps a lot.  Start off small like going for walks during your lunch breaks. You can always find time to work out during your off days.  Start small so at least you get started and you'll find your flow. Good luck!

Thank you!! Good advice. I drink water every day luckily and with the FLD I needed to change my diet anyway. Lots of greens!

Download the app my fitness pal to track your calories and workouts. I've lost over 10 lbs since new years by using it.

I have tried that and I kept at for about 2 months. I just got way too overwhelmed with having to log everything every day. But it was a great app.
