Hiii!! I'm new and this is my forst post. Thanks in advance for all the advice and encouragement!!
I want to lose 50 pounds at the least, but 60 pounds would be perfect. I few days ago I signed a year contract at Anytime Fitness and for the past two nights I have worked out for an hour. I do one mile on the elliptical machine which burns about 110 calories, then I go to each section and work on my stomach, thighs, and arms. Anyways, I have NEVER had a gym membership before and I really enjoy it! I haven't started dieting yet, I just cut cokes out. I also quit eating dinner late; I eat dinner before I work out. And... I started eating what my mom cooks at home instead of going out to eat with my friends.
I have been down the weight watchers road (works but didn't tone me obviously) and the Adipex diet pill road (which I lost 20 pounds the first month but it destroyed my body)
I signed the contract and am committed because I am 20 and am in no rush to settle down... I just want to look and be my best. I don't want to be on a salad diet or anything like that because from my personal experience... If I focus I end up breaking down and overeating. Food has been too much of a part of my life... to an unhealthy weight obsession... to where now I am at the highest weight I have ever been.
I will be working out for one hour five days a week. Any suggestions? And also, my stomach has never been flat... even when I was at my goal weight but didn't work out... If I keep this up, will I have a flat stomach?
