Advice for trying to lose at least ten pounds (female) over the summer and keeping it off?

[Anonymous]

So I REALLY want to lose weight before the next school year, and as I said up there^^^, at least ten pounds. I weigh about 120 pounds now and i'd like to at least be at 110. I'm 5'1 so basically I am a little chubbier and I hate it. I do have an ass and C cup breasts but most of my weight is in my thighs. So if you have any advice for sticking to a routine, good exercises for weight loss or just anything that would help me, please do let me know. As an added detail I will be going to the gym all summer but I have no idea where to start. I am also going through fall and winter too. Like I said, excecise routines, EASY and safe diets, a way to keep motivated, organization tips, all stuff like that would be very helpfull.

Motivation is what gets u going there hard work and dedication keeps I there so u need to just force itself to go. You should work on ur diet, low portions just enough so u crest a kcal deficit but not too much that it makes u tired etc . At the gym the machines should have things on them explaining what u do, the first time that u go there take a notebook and walk around and create a plan for yourself by finding the machines that do things so for example. I'm looking for a chest and tri routine then so I would go in and find machines that do chest and write them down and then plan my next time there based on that and same for tri. So I would have say 8x4 bench press, 8x4 decline flyes and so on same for tri. But I would plan for them all so I would plan my leg day, back and biceps day, shoulders so maybe the first time u go there because as u said u have no idea where to start start it slow and plan it and maybe just try one or two of them on the way around on a lighter weight to get a feel for them. Organisations isn't a crucial part of it really if u dedicate urself but recently I have made a chart on spreadsheets on my pc to track my morning and night weights and my training etc just so I can see how I am progressing but as I said that isn't necessary I been training for a couple years now and I only just started tracking it properly. Key part tho which so many people forget is the rest, if I go to the gym and I do say back and biceps then I won't train that set again for at least 48 hours in order to allow growth and recovery, u need the rest so make sure u get plenty of sleep too but also just don't push urself too hard 10 isn't a lot u can lose that easily working 2 months with a healthy diet and training properly but don't push urself too hard or risk ur health. As someone else has said ur not fat given the sizes and weight u said so don't push too hard

If your priorities involve the word "summer" you're doomed to fail. It's a lifetime thing. Too many people (especially runners) fall out of the habit during the winter months because they either a) don't worry about it during winter because they have to cover up their bodies, or b) can't go out to do their primary form of exercise (running) when it's winter. Get yourself into the habit of doing a form of exercise you can do indoors in your own home. You should be doing some form of strength training and cardio.

You can't control where what little fat on your body gathers. That's just genetics. Your best bet is to harden up/build muscle.

My priorities are feeling better about myself. But thanks!

Find a workout program that has you doing high intensity circuit training 3 days a week, change your diet to match, and you should be golden.

losing weight is extremely simple. Exercise at least three times a week for an hour and eat balanced meals. A proper plate should consist of 1/2 veggies or fruit, 1/4 complex carb (such as brown rice, quinoa or wheat bread, etc), and your protein should be the size of your palm. For exercise I think weight lifting is most effective (don't worry about getting bulky, women lack the necessary hormones to get muscles like men), I think it's more effective because it burns calories long, and build lean muscle which burns calories by just existing. If you want bigger muscles (example, larger butt or arms) then do heavy weighted exercises with low reps (low weight high rep) and if you want smaller leaner muscle do low weights high rep (this basically toned preexisting muscle. And add about 20mins of cardio of your choice. This is what I find most affective but great at home workouts like blogilates or tone it up on YouTube are great and free.
Staying motivated us hard, but I suggest making a vision board. It sound stupid but it works (mine has a picture if my setting or before body and next to it are a bunch of pictures of my dream body) seeing how far I had come or was going really set the tone of my day and reminded me what I was working for. I also keep one picture of my dream body on the fridge so that it reminds me to make smart choices about what I'm eating

I've seen a lot of videos and stuff about a military diet. Apparently you can lose up to ten pounds in three days if you stick to it exactly. I haven't tried it but it seems to work. You have to eat tons of food though.

Wanna link me to a video then?

https://youtu.be/yPVsK_tiPsw That's just like what it is. There are plenty of reviews on it and stuff, let me know if works!! I hope it does!

[Asker]

Thank you so much, this looks perfect because i eat pretty healthy already so the 4 days off should be easy. And I already have all those foods and live in a great neighbourhood with a walking trail.

It's not an actual military diet. It's been debunked. It's severely unhealthy and is encouraging disordered eating habits.

you don't even sound that chubby for 120 @ 5'1 but if your problem area are your thighs then your genetics are in control of that. you would have to continue burning the fat around your entire body until you are satisfied with where you are at on your legs, but then everything else will have changed as well. perhaps you can go a different route.

Umm if you have big thighs that's sexy AF just hit some squats and lunges and repeat after me... fuck the gym use what you have to get where you want to be... And I'm not talking prostitution. Look up freeletics on YouTube but really I love big thighs fb me so I can see where your at and also to catch a peek of those bad boys sheen kejuann dorsett

I think most will agree you're come and don't need to loose weight. I'm actually the same height but I weigh a little less than you. Of you really wanna loose the weight and around 6 lbs is just water anyway why not fast for a couple of days and drink shakes? And lots of water. This should help or you can try water pills.

She's probably gain all that weight back once she started eating like a normal person again.

[tattooedhandfet]

Maybe... I've never done it b4 so I don't know

[tattooedhandfet]

Sorry that was supposed to say you're fine***

[erigut3]

Here's what I used to do I would skip breakfast and work out on an empty stomach and I would eat an after an hour or so by the way I would do cardio such as walking and an exercise bike and if you can just make sure you stay away from processed foods

With 120 pounds, your BMI is 22.7 which is ideal. It is just in the middle. You don't have to loose weight. If you think you look chubby (cannot judge without a pic), loose fat and gain muscle.
