How do I lose weight after what happened?

[Anonymous]

Okay everyone, I've been battling some personal issues since last January that resulted in me losing a lot of weight and then gaining it back plus double. Long story short last January my house burnt down and I was such a mess I wouldn't eat, after a few months I started eating again and gained the weight back that I had lost, but I recently weighed myself and notice that I had gained double the weight I lost and I look like a whole new mess. I've already started eating healthier and drinking more water than soda. But I was hoping that you guys could help me by suggesting some exercises that I can try to lose about 30 pounds. I have a yoga mat and an elliptical in my apartment so if you have any suggestions that use them that would be wonderful.

Thank you for your help it is greatly appreciate :)

For most people, weight loss is done in the kitchen. Exercise is absolutely a great thing to do, to be clear. But considering one candy bar can be the equivalent of an hour to an hour and a half brisk walk, it's just easier to watch how many calories you consume, and cut back in a controlled manner.

I'm a runner, but some of the best exercises for calorie consumption are of the high intensity or resistance ) weight lifting, interval training).

Leeets try that again. "Some of the best exercises for calorie burning are of the high-intensity or resistance (weight lifting, interval training) variety."

You choose every day only to put good things in and do physical activity. There is so set time, each body responds differently, you have to be dedicated and patient.
