Losing weight for the second time?

[Anonymous]

OK, so I've lost weight back then in 2010. I lost 23 kgs in 4 months! but now I've gained half of the weight that I've lost ,and I don't think that I've got enough will power to help me get through this again this summer.. What do I do? I've tried motivating myself several times but It's no use, I've also tried relaxing sessions on you-tube to motivate me... Help?

I've been wanting to try fad burners, but my friends say that they will change my hormones IF I take those pills. I'm really confused.. I am willing to do what It takes to lose weight but It's extremely hard, I just need a start. ?

Your motivation may be all wrong, if your primary goal is numbers on a scale you will be constantly disappointed because exercise can lead to weight gain too (muscle) and DO NOT TAKE any diet pills or go on fad diets because they are not sustainable and you will rapidly go back to your old ways. I go to the gym every second day and I stay motivated all year round because I enjoy the exercise I do (most important), I know the long-tern health risks associated with being overweight/ being inactive and exercise is part of my routine therefore my lifestyle. Health and weight loss are lifestyle choices not just things you need to wear a bikini, clearly you need to make some changes to maintain the weight you lost I suggest getting a personal trainer and a dietician. Also stay away from the internet for motivation it just makes you feel fat.

Hey, don't feel bad. Eating can be addictive!

So , if you can't motivate yourself, get yourself help, an organization like Weight Watchers that will lay out a diet, including some tasty but safe desserts, a built in 'break' day, and constant support all the way along;

Also, MAINTENANCE..you check in with them to make sure you aren't regaining the weight you lost. That's necessary, in some cases, such as yours, right?

Get in the habit of going to the gym EVERY day, well maybe 1-2 off depending what you do. If you stop you'll just gain weight prob.

Well there's your problem. You were practically starving yourself which basically means your body went into a "starvation mode". In it the body shuts down less vital systems and lowers the metabolism to be able live with the low nutrition. It isn't very healthy and it's extremely harsh on your body. A normal and healthy diet means that you're eating about 200-300 calories less than your daily requirement.
