I'm trying to lose weight, but I feel heavier than ever

[Anonymous]

Okay, I know its only been 3 weeks, and its hard to change my diet (i've given up soda, which I drink only about once per few weeks, but when I do drink I have a bunch, also gave up alcohol, and try to eat less), but I still feel like a Lard Ass. I mean I look at myself and see a bit of a guy and double chin, and I just get depressed even though I've worked out an hour every weekday for the past 3 weeks (not enough I know, it takes a long time), it just feels like its taking too long, and I'll keep working out, but its like what's the point, I mean I'm 5 ft 7 228 (when I last weighted myself at home at Easter), shouldn't the pounds be fairly easy to lose? I don't know its just that sometimes I wish I could get some sickness that would make me lose weight like a friend of mine did (he was 5ft 5 180, but lost 40 lbs with some unknown illness), I know its twisted, but its just I wish there were someway to lose 50 lbs, but I know you can't healthily do that in a few months, even a year it would be hard. I mean I want to keep exercising, but I feel like I'm just gonna be some fat ass loser and never have a girlfriend or anything, just be some big fat guy clown. Any suggestions for how to lose more wight

Oh honey,honey. It's not about eating less. What you need to do is find healthy recipes (complete meals) for chicken , veggies, fruits, fish stuff like that.

Also, do full body workouts, that way you burn more calories and fat. Just because you're exercising your legs does not mean you will lose fat from your legs, you're mostly just toning and building the muscle, your body burns fat from pretty much wherever it wants, or there's most. SO. Fully body workout, 3 times a week, or however much you can stand.

Dieting does not mean stop eating, blah blah blah. Of course you should cut out as much unhealthy foods out of your diet as possible, i.e. pop, candy bars, junk food, fast food, so on so on.

Get some multi vitamins (centrum is best) and make sure you eat lots of protein. When you exercise it pretty much wounds your muscles, and protein will help build/tone it. And. Well. Vitamins are always good, and give you more energy. :D

Uuuuhm. Currently all I can think of off the top of my head. Hope this helps. :D Goodluck ^^

if you wanna lose weight, eat healthier foods. I also have heard that eating five small meals through out the day instead of three big meals helps you feel less hungry when meal times come. and you probably feel fat because sometimes when people lose weight, they take on water weight. oh. and for work out tips, trampolines make you lose 600 calories an hour. fun right? you might try out one of those.
