Hi simplyjp,
I am Rita, I tried to lose weight before, and I did well at the beginning, But later I did not keep going, I gain back weight again. I felt so bad.
I tried again, but I began with my friend this time. Everyday, we motivated with each other, we kept going and going, finally in 3 months I lost 20lbs, and my friend also lost about 24lbs. We were so happy. Now we still motivate with each other and keeping our habit to control our weight.
It’s for long term, and better have good habit about food and exercise. A reasonable weight loss rate is around 0.5-2 pounds a week. To loose weight too fast is bad for health and will resolve nothing in long terms.
Here I share with you some tips I use for myself to loose 20 lbs in 3 months:
1. Take the habit to go to buy food with a list (of healthy stuff of course – forget soda, cookies, chocolate…) and with having eat something before.
2. When you need a snack before lunch and dinner … eat some fruits (fresh or dry) and some vegetables (little carrot…). Forget the “low fat” product snack … useless and expensive!
3. Share your weight-loss plan with a friend. It is always easier when you are two people (and more fun!)
4. Write down your goal on many papers with details (prefer something like “loose every week 2 pounds” to “I must eat less”) and stick it everywhere (bedroom, fridge, bathroom …).
5. Drink a lot of water ( 3 L per day) and forget all kind of fast food.
Keep update with note, what you do today, better with friends, and it will really work.
