Lost weight and have put it on back, 3.5 kgs

[kalpana0611]

Hi, I lost nearly 22kgs in the last 2 to 3 years by exercising and eating right.

But for the past 4 months, I have put on about 3.5 kgs back.. I am so dissappointed. I was eating right, but i think I have got stressed with my new job( the travelling is long and those horrible traffic ) and other personal stuff. I have put on those weight,
I am telling myself not to be stressed as I do not want to put on those weight. I have started eating properly, taking my breakfast and eating at the right time, exercising as well.

1) My question is, I have put on weight on my hips and thighs, which people can't notice. They kept telling that I look smaller, but that's because they do not know where the fat is hidden. I am good at covering up those I guess.
So now, how I do teach my body NEVER to put on weight on my hips and thighs. Why is it the first place, those fats go and sit is the hips and thighs for me..

2) I have seen this m100 workout on youtube and it makes me sweat, is there something like this just for the butts and thighs? Any advice would be extremely helpful!!!!!!!!

3) How do I teach my body, if in times of stress, do not put on weight but lose the weight!!!.. Sounds stupid I know, but I do not think I am the only one going through this phase.

please help

1) You can't teach your body to not put on weight somewhere. It doesn't work that way. Everyone is different in where they put on weight. I gain mine in my belly. Others gain it all over. It just has to do with your genetics and body type.
2) You can tone your butt and thighs but you can't lose weight in just one area. If you want your butt and thighs to shrink you have to reduce your total body fat.
3) Your body doesn't just magically put on or lose weight during times of stress. Some people are emotional eaters (I sure am!) others may lose their appetite when they're stressed.

In the end it is calories in versus calories out. If you eat fewer calories than expend, you'll lose weight. What really helped me was keeping a food journal. I kept track of everything I ate, keeping my intake between 1400-1700 calories a day. I worked out for 30 minutes 5-6 days a week on an elliptical or walking.

Good luck!
