Tips on losing weight?

[Anonymous]

I'm going to the beach in two weeks. While I obviously wanna look and feel my best for that, I just generally want to look and feel my best at all times. I never work out really, I'll take stairs vs an elevator always. I occasionally go for a walk or on hikes. I get dizzy easy. So, if you work out often or train, please get back to me!

Want to slim down my stomach and neck/throat/face.

Thanks, appreciate it.

Being honest you'll probably lose about three pounds. There's not much you can do this week or even this summer but you can he ready for nex year or to generally feel better.
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

Two weeks? Not much you can do. The two earlier posts summarize well what's left as options. Keeping your body in condition is a continuous battle, not something you switch on and off on a short time scale. You need at least two months training to see some "decent" result of a certain exercise.

Water water water water drink lots of it.

Not really much you can do in two weeks, but a diet change can always work. Up the intake of veggies, fruits, and lean meats (chicken and fish). Stay away from an overbalance of carbs (pasta, bread etc) and fast food

Also, definitely do some situps, pushups, and squats in the morning, mid-day and afternoon. Doesn't have to be much, like a total of 15 minutes each time.

For long term results, definitely come up with a workout plan, join a gym etc
Otherwise keep doing what you're doing :)

Drink lots of water to lose water weight, set a daily calorie limit, and do some situps. I can lose five pounds doing this in a week pretty easily.

If you want to lose weight, you either want to swim laps or run. They are the best exercises for losing weight
