Of course, I would start off with eating right - 6 small meals per day, balanced, with plenty of water. \n\nStart resistance exercising. This will help your right leg. You can train your right leg so it becomes stronger, plus muscle burns more calories than any other type of tissue in the body, so as you develop more muscle, you will burn more fat.\n\nDon't worry about becoming a "he-woman" by working out. The fact is that fat takes up 5 times the amount of space as muscle, and to become a "he-woman", you would have to embark upon a serious exercise, nutrition, and supplement regimen similar to professional body builders. By working out, you will get that slim, toned look that everyone likes.\n\nFinally, as you build your right leg, you can start doing cardio work on a stationary bike. It may not be for several months, but cardio is a great way to burn fat.\n\nYou may want to purchase a book called Body for Life by Bill Phillips - it has good basic information regarding getting fit & eating right that you could use.\n\nGood luck!

You gotta hit the treadmil or just start jogging.  Also squats will do the trick as well.

Well first of all start eating healthy, also go to the gym regulary and do different kinds of sit ups, crunches etc.. for the legs you can do lunges anything like that.Also try running, it helps loose weight. Good luck.

Break down your goals into mini goals so that they seem more managable.  For instance, if you want to lose 30 pounds, break it down into six five pound mini milestones.  When you reach each milestone, give yourself a non-food treat, like a manicure or a new outfit.\n\nMake a plan to lose weight like going for a walk with your kids 5 days a week.  Get support from friends and family.  If you have a workout partner, you'll be less likely to skip your workout "date".\n\nMake a list of reasons that you want to lose weight like having more energy.  When you feel like skipping a workout, go to the list for a good reason not to skip it.

You don't have to run to loose weight or even go to the gym.  You can workout right at home and get into shape.  Here is some of the things I do:\n\n1)workout videos can be fun and really help you to get your body moving.  I enjoy cardio dance or aerobics.  They are pretty cheap too and usually last between 30mins to 1 hour.\n\n2)you can buy a cheap set of weights and lift at home.  You don't need anything heavy either.  All you need is 5 lbs and 10 lbs.  For every 1 lbs of muscle you gain, you burn calories faster.\n\n3)crunches, squats, lunges and leg lifts really tone the abs and theighs.  For squats, I do 3 sets of 20, but since you're just starting, try maybe 3 sets of 5 or 10 until you get used to it.\n\n4)there really isn't a name for this exercise I do, but get down on all fours, lift one leg at a time and bend the knee at a 90degree angle so your leg is in line with your back, but bent up at the knee.  Pulse it there for 20 counts.  You should really feel it in the butt.  do it with the other leg next.  Then once you've done that, stay on all fours and life your leg out to the side (almost like a male dog does when peeing)  this works the thigh and the bum.\n\n5)eat plenty of protein.  Your muscles can't use the sugars in carbs unless converted to the proper form by protein.  Eggs, lean chicken, fish and nuts are all good protein examples.  I also make protein shakes with whey protein.  Drink green tea, it boosts your metabolism and eat 5 small meals a day so you arent hungry.  Drink lots of water and eat fresh fruits and veggie.\n\nhope this helps you and best of luck in your weight loss.  oh..and never feel unattractive. let your man know you want to loose weight and maybe he will help you and support you.  he can diet and eat healthy too.  I've got my hubby doing it and he doesnt mind :)

You will lose it...I had my second child 7 mths ago, i started at the gym 5 weeks ago and have lost weight already. \nI work 30mins or cardio and 30 mins of weights four times a week.\nIf you cant get to a gym, do something at home that will get yuou breaking out into a sweat..like running up and down the stairs..jogging, skipping....housework.\nEat smaller portions of sensible meals.\nsnack on healthy snack like fruit. drink lots of water.\n\nI know it feels like you'll never get there...but trust me, you will.

the best thing to do when you have time is to do exercises specially for the abdomens called abs.. it always looked like after having children with all the extra things to do it would be easier to lose weight but it is not.. you  have to burn more calories than you take in and do the certain excerises...leg excerises are good too.. if you ever get a chance walk whenever you can and aroeboics is really great for all over  and burning calories and does make you feel better too.. start out slow then build up to more .....there is some good exercise tapes out there.. i like denise austins videos and exercise tapes.. i know she has one for after having children too..but good luck....

First, if you have foot problems you need to get off the treadmill and dedicate your aerobic exercise to a lower impact activity.  I suggest you switch over to cycling - much easier on the feet and knees.\n\nSecond, realize you're looking to lose, I think, an average of two pounds per week.  To sustain that kind of weight loss pace, I suggest working up to daily cycling of 60 minutes or more.  Buy or borrow a comfortable bike and start by riding 30 minutes a day - without fail.  Ride 15 minutes away from home, then turn around.  It should be easy.  Build up your duration and pace so you're riding for 60 minutes or more each day.  If you've been working out at the gym since March of this year, you should be able to accomplish this pretty quickly.\n\nSecond, you need to check that you've altered your diet to get rid of as much refined sugar and simple carbs as possible.  Sugar is easy to identify.  Simple carbs would include white bread, white rice, potatoes, pasta.  These carbs are quickly converted to sugar by the body, and stored as fat if not metabolized quickly.\n\nReplace with protein rich meat, fish, bean and tofu (if you like tofu).  Snack on cheese, nuts and fruit (easy on the fruit, too - lots of fructose).  And of course, heavy on daily water intake.\n\nHope that helps.  Best to you.

Take up running! That will take the pounds off faster than anything else, along with proper diet of course. Don't be discouraged if you find running difficult at first. Work up to one mile over the course of several weeks (exact times vary, as everyone is different). Walk a bit then run a bit. Slowly decrease the amount of time you walk until you can run a full mile. Then start adding a second mile, etc. You will amaze yourself! For an even speedier weight loss, add in weight lifting. Even doing simple exercises with free weights (start with 1-3 pound weights and gradually add weight) can increase your metabolism considerable. Muscle burns more calories than fat, so it would behoove you to do what you can to build muscle if your goal is to burn fat. Eat lots of lean meat and veggies. Don't give up carbohydrates altogether, but cut back on them, and eat only whole grain breads. Also, don't eat processed foods of any type. Hope this info helps. Best of luck to you. Congratulations on the birth of your little one.

It's safest to lose 1-2 pounds a week. Therefore, you have about 15 weeks which could be 30 pounds. You need to make sure you eat enough calories a day (about 1500) and exercise. Don't cut out any food groups, just eat a balanced and healthy diet. Drink lots of water, too.

Lisa, bless you for taking care of your mom!\n\nAre you sure you want to start your diet right before Thanksgiving?  \n\nThere's a lot of exercise, yoga & pilates DVDs you can rent or buy.  You can also dance in the living room or your bedroom -- just move until you sweat, same as running.

Being a mom of three and even having twins I understand how you feel! Time is not on your side. The first thing you have to remember is that it took you nine months to gain the weight so expect nine months to loss it! I wanted mine off NOW! I gained almost 100 lbs with my last pregnancy and 80 with my first! I am now a size six!\n\nI started on Advocare! Advocare is nutritional supplements for energy and weight control that really works! I went from a size 14 to 6 and have kept it off for over 5 years now! Advocare also pays me more money than I did working and I have been a stay at home mom for five years too! \n\nCheck out my web site www.advocarerocks.com

lol. thats easy. buy a treadmill and walk/jog 2 to 4 miles  every weekend. or you can walk/jog 2 to 4 miles every weekend outside. outside will be harder so i suggest running on a treadmill for a month or so just to get the feel for it. eating is equally important if not most. try to eat things with lots of protein. Protein is essential for weight loss. be sure not to eat really fatty foods like McD or anything. Protein will fill you up so you arent as hungry during the day. But be sure not to starve yourself either!!!

I am overweight as well and have been trying walking to no avail and eliminating several foods (Starbucks, no sugar in coffee,etc.) but not seeming to work. One of my doctors has suggested Yoga, which I am signing up for and another doctor told me to get 5lb weights and do repititions on arm exercises and also do some squats. He said that until I worked my core and built up my muscles I was not going to see anything significant. Hope this helps. Good Luck and Blessings on your Wedding!

Listen I have had two kids and both girls with horrible hormonal pregnancies. I couldn't lose any weight with my first but was sooo determined with the second and I now weigh less than what I did when I feel pregnant with the second. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me happy to help in any way am now studying personal training. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.
