How do I lose it?

[Anonymous]

I lost a lot of weight when I was sick but I seem to have gained it back and more. How do I get rid of it.
I am gunna start running and I'm going to cut out all junk foods and sugar from my diet. What else can I do to quicken the weight loss? I'm not big on exercise.

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

Sounds like you've already thought up a good plan. Running is probably the best and fastest way to lose weight, and healthy eating is important too. If you burn off more calories than the amount of calories you've taken in, you will lose weight. The important thing is to strictly stick to the routine.

The only other thing I would suggest is to drink A LOT of water. Fill up on it and try to avoid snacking.

If Don't do some exercise then yea ok u still lose weight but u would be what is known as thin fat which is when u r skinny but it is all fat u have very little muscle and I get that ur a girl so don't want muscle but it won't look as good as if u did exercise.
With ur diet too don't have to cut it all together moderation is the key, u need to have a kcal deficit of -3500 to lose a pound so if u lowers portion sizes and did exercise a point a week if not 2 a week is easily achieved

You have the right idea in cutting out junk. The most important thing about exercise is to find an activity you enjoy. It could be running but maybe cycling or tennis will be more to your liking. Keep trying different things and try to find a person to join you.

Become big on exercise. Cutting calories can only do so much.
