how to lose weight on a treadmill?

Question

i’m 280 pounds and found out i’m pregnant again. i just purchased a treadmill and i’m wondering how i can lose weight without hurting myself lol my ankles and knees are pretty weak from being over weight and having back to back pregnancies.
(please no judgment on my weight i’m trying to change and it hurts my feelings a lot when someone tells me i’m fat)

Answer

Eat healthy. Drink lots of water(think at least half your body weight in ounces). And walk everyday a little bit more each day. The weight will come off. Avoid heavy carbs (complex carbs are okay). Veggies fruit. Most of weightloss is from diet. Exercise is just a bonus.

Answer

I'd agree with the taking it easy on the treadmill bc it's very hard on your joints and muscles as well as cutting carbs, as much as you can. Completely avoid, processed and complex carbs and if you have carbs, eat clean and healthy ones. Make your own baked potato for instance. 
Get ALL your fat soluble vitamins, that's so important for your baby. This means limiting bad fats that are also very inflammatory (canola oil, vegetable oil, etc) and replace them with healthier oils (butter, olive oil, coconut oil, mct oil).
Also I know people say fill up with fruits and veggies but dont dont this! Fruits are filled with a ton of sugar your body doesn't need, and especially for your baby! Our bodies do not need this glucose! It's not wrong to eat fruit ever now and then, but avoid sugar! Sugar is still sugar, natural or not. Make substitutions for things you want as your baby is growing. Want chocolate? Find some artificially sweetened chocolate, sugar alcohols and natural sweeteners like stevia are great, but make sure they're okay for you and your baby, talk to the doctor! 
Also a lot of vegetable forms of vitamins aren't easily absorbed by our bodies, so filling up on veggies isn't a great idea. Doesn't mean you dont want to not eat them, just dont think you have to eat a ton and you're getting all these nutrients that you're not. 
Dont est empty calories, and dont under-eat or over-eat, your eating for you and your baby so I dont reccomend portion control. Get enough calories, enough protein and fat and you can eat some clean carbs if you're planning to utilize that energy youd be eating at the gym or by exercising! This is so important for your baby's health, and remember to keep up with the doctor!

Answer

I lost 50 lbs, I was in my high 200s as well and all I did was power walk on the treadmill for an hour. I did that like 5 times a week, sometimes less, sometimes more, depending on my mood lol but I drank a lot of water. I would drink 8-10 water bottles a day. The treadmill was my best friend Foreal, I lost that 50lbs in less than a year.

Answer

You've gotta take it easy on the treadmill since you're pregnant. But if you want to lose weight drinks lots of water and walk on the treadmill at different speeds. Try not to push it too far and let your body work itself up. Make sure you talk to your doctor to see what they recommend.

Answer

Low carb diet, drink tons of water, eat fresh fruits and veggies, and work your way up to 300 minutes a week of a brisk walk. Weight will drop before you know it!

Answer

Just drink water and only water, lots of it. Eat healthier, smaller portions. For the treadmill at this point if you started out walking at a slow/comfortable pace for 10-15 minutes a day it should help strengthen your knees and ankles and you can build up time/speed from there.

Answer

Losing weight is mostly about what you eat. Since you are pregnant I would consult with your doctor about plans to lose weight and maybe even ask to see a nutritionist. As far as the treadmill start off slow. Depending on your activity level now you don’t want to do a crazy increase since you are pregnant but walking everyday 15-30 mins at a casual pace would probably be a good start. Good luck!

Answer

HIGH INCLINE ON WHATEVER SPEED YOU WANT !!! I lost 30 pounds walking on an incline of 9 on 3.7

Answer

Hi babe, I use peloton to stay in shape. I don’t own the bike, so I use the app ($20 a month). You have access to so many different workouts. They do have power walking treadmill and walking workouts (to start) then as your knees and ankles get stronger they have running. Plus great stretch classes, light lifting, and more! I love using the app and want to save up for a bike! Please message me, I would love to be of any assistance. I think it is wonderful that you have motivation and drive I feel like so many people lack it. Also congratulations on your pregnancy!

Answer

Maybe get some braces/kinesiology tape for your knees and ankles? And make sure you have good, supportive shoes so your feet aren't rolling in or out too much which would cause added pressure on your joints. 
Also make sure you take a look at other areas of your lifestyle, namely diet. If you drink a lot of soda or other sugary drinks, try to drink less or none at all. Drink lots of water. Eat meals that are packed with vegetables and some protien. You don't have to cut carbs but I'd definitely recommend avoiding very processed carbs like white bread etc. Try go for wholemeal options. Good luck!
