Im 20 years old and I’m trying to lose 25 pounds by my birthday at the end of march for my 21st. I NEED to lose 40 but I know that’s not realistic in 2 months.
Currently I eat right ; but could use a little extra help in that department. What is appropriate to eat when you want to snack, i have a bad habit of that. I have a bowl of special k for breakfast with a banana and a water bottle and for lunch i have two pieces of whole wheat toast with a piece low sodium american cheese and low sodium turkey and a water bottle, between lunch and dinner i get really hungry and i have a yogurt and some string cheese…and for dinner i can eat chicken with a vegetable or a ww meal.
i excersize a little bit… i have a stationary bike and an elitpical trainer. i usually do 10 minutes on the elitpical trainer and 20 on the bike, i hear that it helps with your stomach and abs? I do 100 crunches a day/everyday. Am i supposed to work out everyday? I use a chair and put my arms up and lift
Your eating sounds good, but you can have other things. In fact, you can have things you like you just have to know how to limit yourself. That takes practice, trust me I know. Don’t forget you have to eats your fruits and vegetables! You need to have well-balanced nutrition when it comes to losing weight. You should be eating a lot of protein as well as the RIGHT carbohydrates and fats. And remember to drink at least 8 cups of water a day! *a little tip…if you save those cups from Taco bell or KFC those are 32 oz. which equals about 4 cups of water…drink 2 of those and you have your water for the day!*
You don’t have to exercise everyday! In fact, it helps when you take at least one rest day a week. It helps your muscles regain strength after a workout. Cardiovascular exercises you can do everyday, but strength training, like crunches, it’s good to take a break.
If you need motivation, try www.sparkpeople.com.
