how to get skinny/in shape?

Question

I'm 20, a mother of two, and I work 40-50 hours a week, so I don't really have time to go to the gym for a few hours a day. (I work alot and my free time I like to spend at home with my SO and our kids) What are some things I can from home that will help me lose weight? Excersizes? Foods to eat/not eat? What to drink? Even the smallest things will help. Any tips are welcomed! (I've always been unhealthy... but I wanna make a change... just don't know where to start) 😢

Answer

Majority of weight loss is diet rather than exercise. Eat plenty of fresh fruit and veggies and a small amount of protein with every meal to help you feel fuller for longer. Avoid any processed foods where possible. If you can’t schedule in exercise then do any incidental exercise you can eg taking the stairs instead of the elevator, parking slightly further away than normal so you need to walk.

Answer

Drink nothing but water! or coffee as long as you don't put a ton of sugar and creamer in it (no Starbucks). Also never go to the grocery store hungry and don't buy unhealthy snacks. If it's not in your house you can't eat it! That's how I lost 15 pounds super quick.  If you don't have time to go to the gym then it's all up to your diet!

Answer

Go for walks with your kids. Dance around the house, until the point that you're sweating. Eat right. Maybe get a work out video or two to alternate.

Answer

Keto diet!!! Will take away the fat then you can work on toning.

Alright so once upon a time I was 215 lbs. I was your age. I started doing the following and now look like this at 25 (been progressing since 23):

I cut out starch and almost all dairy except for some butter and cottage cheese.
I run 4-5 times per week. Due to mental health, husband being sent to AIT for training and moving, I haven't gone to the gym a lot lately.
I follow Abby Pollock a lot and do at home fitness videos. On my down days I play tennis and haven't really frequented the gym in two weeks. Since you have children, I highly recommend at home fitness videos off of youtuve. Most are between 10-20 minutes and don't require any equipment. I did those for the first year and made so much progress. You can actually be quite fit from body weight workouts.
Always here to help and best of luck!

Idk where you are price wise but beach body offers really great programs (kinda pricey) you can do at home along with eating plans. I did 21 day fix and it was amazing for me, its an eating plan and 30 minutes at home workout a day.

Answer

There is a ton of stuff you can do at home. YouTube has videos on body weight exercises, and at home work outs. Frankly, I lost 30lbs a few years ago just with the basics: squats, push ups, planks, walking, etc. I eventually threw in kettle bell too and that was awesome (cheap and effective too! You can get kettle bell weights at Wal-Mart for not a lot of money, and work out with them anywhere!) Get the kids involved too! They can do push ups, etc with you and you will be setting them an excellent example of getting and staying healthy. Best of luck to you!!

Answer

I'm a big couch potato myself, though I generally eat healthily and have a healthy weight... I just try to move as much as I can without thinking of it as exercise, for example deliberately choosing stairs, walking instead of using car or public transport, doing the house chores in a faster tempo and occasionally (my motivation comes and goes) doing squats and sit-ups. In terms of eating I maintain a good balance between having normal meals with meat, fish etc. + a carb (potatoes, rice...), but ALWAYS with a big size of veggies or salad. Snacks are also well balanced, if I want a choc I'll have it, but I also eat a lot of fruit. This way I don't feel like I'm restricting myself, but the balance maintains my weight. Remember, your goal shouldn't be to get "skinny", but to habe a healthy, normal weight!
