168lbs - 130lbs :)

[aatkinson]

Well I have 38lbs to lose. Current stats:

(04/01/10)
Weight: 168lbs
Height: 5'9
Body fat percentage: 27.7% (don't know if this is fully correct because I have H cup boobs - no they're not fake- and they weigh a stone, so...I'm guessing they'd probably contribute to this)
Goal weight: 130lbs
Weight to lose: 38lbs


Hopefully going to accomplish my goal of 130lbs through healthy eating and exercise, and going over no more than 1000 calories per day

Exercise plan (so I have something to stick to):

5-10 minutes of warm up
10 minutes of weight lifting
20 minutes on mini-trampline
5 minutes of skipping
20 minutes on the exercise ball (bit of yoga and pilates thrown in..)
10 minutes of weight lifting
5-10 minutes warming down

and maybe a bit of cycling thrown in (hour to two hours per week)

So 65 minutes of exercise per day (not including Sundays cause I'm a lazy git) which should hopefully see some good results. And just for the hell of it, I'm trying Paul McKenna's "I can make you thin" because it was 3 quid on amazon and I have nothing to lose, so why not, lol.
And occasional walks with my boyfriends german shepherd, which will be a couple of hours, which pretty much consist of an hour walk (there and back) to this huge field thing/army training barracks where I pretty much throw a stick and try and beat her to it, and I may have more fun than her doing that, lol.

I've been very lazy today (the shame...) and had 1100 calories and burnt off 400. And did around 100 sit-ups, and now my stomach hurts which I think means my stomach muscles are pretty much non-existent. So hoping to build this up a bit more...


Currently have awful hunger pains - can't sleep, its 3:30am - and I think I may try and get some sleep soon. So will update later

Just so you know, it's not healthy or safe by any means to be on a 1,000 calorie diet. The lowest possible calories you should be consuming are 1,200 a day. However, based on your height and weight, you should be consuming somewhere around 1,600 calories/day. Combined with healthy diet and exercise, this will cause you to lose weight safely and you will be able to keep it off longer.

Try looking around the forum for other tips, there is a lot of helpful information on this site.

Good luck!

skkroll is giving you some solid advice. I'm about your height (5'8). Started at 171, now at 162 and working toward 130. I'm consuming 1200-1800 calories a day and so far losing weight consistently. And I'm OLD, 31...so it should be even easier for you. Starve yourself and you'll just slow your metabolism and put on even more weight when you fall off the wagon. And you WILL fall off the wagon, as you can't be anything but miserable on 1,000 calories a day long term.

Try to focus on changes you can sustain and really inform yourself about healthy weight loss, so you're not posting this exact same resolution June 2010 or January 2011.

You can do this!
