Is it even possible?
I lost 15 pounds since January then gained 4 pounds and I am back up to 141 pounds. I really wanted to be 125 by the end of May for the Memorial Day Picnics I will be attending. Is it possible to lose 16 pounds in two months in a healthy way? I don't workout but maybe it is time to start. I am 5'4" and have a medium bone frame. I am 28 years old. What do I need to do to make this work? I reeeeeaallly want it to work this time.
It's definitely doable. Just make sure you are sensible with your calories and pay attention to the deficit (as birdy22 mentioned). Working out may give your metabolism a great boost! I never used to exercise, however when I started counting calories and exercising, I was shocked to see that I lost 10 lbs in the first month :-) To give you an idea...I started out very slowly at once per week for half an hour (Because I hate being on the treadmill...but that's my only option) and made sure that if I did work out, that I gave myself a very challenging work out. I moved it up to 2 days per week and the weight came off at 2 lbs a week. When I stop working out, the weight loss slows to about 1 lb a week.
If you work out a couple of days a week, you can definitely reach your goal. Just make sure you are challenging yourself and that you make yourself sweat. Also, don't forget to tone up! A little muscle can make you look very slender + the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn. Additionally, make sure you eat well and that you have a good amount of protein and complex carbs so that your body has the fuel it needs. Good luck :-)
How often should you eat during the day?
It is neither necessary to eat every two hours nor to stop eating at 6:00 PM. As long as your calorie intake is less than your output... Read more
