I agree with a previous poster. Â If you want to lose weight permanently, you have to commit to new lifestyle. Â I personally fell in love with weight lifting and http://www.bodybuilding.com is a staple in my daily routine. Â They have a WEALTH of information, recipes,training regiments, supplement, etc.
Make a bodyspace account,keep a journal,eat lots of protein and healthy carbs. LIFT WEIGHTS. LIFT WEIGHTS,GET STRONG. Did I mention you should light weights? Â Lol cardio is important to endurance and cardiovascular health, but running for an hour is going to do you a disservice.Â
I eat on a 40:40:20 macro (as best I can lol). That means 40% of my daily calories are from protein, 40% are from carbohydrates, and 20% is fat. Â This may seem hard to track,but I use the myfitnesspal app and they make it easy!
For training, I go to the gym after work 3-4 times a week for on average 1.5 hours or less. I usually get my heart rate up with 20 minutes of cardio (bike or elliptical usually. Low impact stuff is best), then straight into 40-45 minutes of weight training, then wrap it up with another 20 minutes of cardio. That's a lot of cardio but I'm currently trying to cut fat. (If you want to check out the trainer I'm currently using, go here http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/kris-get...ainer.html it is fabulous, even for beginners!).
I also want to reassure you that failures happen to everyone. Â I am currently trying to get back to how in shape I was a year ago. Â I stumbled and quit eating right as a result of an illness and then had to get surgery and couldnt work out for months. Â Does it suck to look in the mirror and see where I lost my muscle tone and gained fat? Hell Yea lol. Â But I use this to motivate myself, I don't let it defeat me.
I hope this helps and if anyone wants to talk to me 1on 1 please send me a pm. Â I had help getting my butt in shape and I would love to pass on what I've learned to help out.
