Tips for losing over 100 pounds??? Please help!

Question

I'm 19 and during pregnancy I had preeclampsia and prescribed bed rest and a never ending craving for fast food... this resulted in me gaining 70 pounds. Horrible, I know. I was a bit chubby before and want to lose 100 pounds in the next six months. I used to be super thin in early teens due to starving myself and ended up in the hospital and drinking a bunch of nutrition shakes... Don't want that to happen again, I want to do the healthy route. Tips?

Answer

Cardio, NO FAST FOOD, lots of water, clean food, lots of fruit/veggies, more cardio... I lost about 20-30lbs doing this a few years ago ... work out daily, even if you don't feel like it. Educate yourself on working out, learn muscles, switch up your workouts every 2 weeks (your body will adapt otherwise and you'll plateau) keep motivated constantly, get an Instagram and subscribe to all kinds of fitness things, set realistic attainable goals (i.e. lose 5lbs in 7 days) and then just focus on that. Don't start out with the mindset that you have to lose 100lbs, that's overwhelming and almost seems impossible, but if you tell yourself: 20lbs this month, that's about 5lbs a week, and just continually go from there, you will be able to do it .. best of luck !!

Answer

I don't know much on losing weight BUT definitely do not try to lose too much too fast, that can be more unhealthy than being overweight

Answer

I suggest start running, intervals. Fast paced walking to start if you can handle running. I was 240 after I had my fourth babe and lost 90lbs in less then a year. Obviously I had to maintain a somewhat healthy diet but I still enjoyed treats and big meals and the weight just fell off me, I did start weight training worth a boot camp a while after and put on quite a bit of muscle weight but at least you know that it's healthy weight gain😉 🤗 cardio is key

Answer

Talk to your doctor and look at your insurance.  Mine covers Weight Watchers or a Health Coach at no charge to me.

Answer

A healthy pace to lose weight and keep it off is about 2 lbs a week, so for starters, you have to be patient. Dropping that much weight that fast isn't a great idea. Getting healthy really just comes down to a few simple things. Be mindful of how much you're eating (listen when your stomach tells you you're not hungry anymore), watch out for the sugars and white starches, try to get in more protein and fiber to keep your stomach full and drink plenty of water. And there's always the go to calories in vs calories out but I'd be careful with that because it can easily become an obsession
