Good weight Loss Plan?
I began my diet Nov 06 and I weighed 180 lbs. Taebo & atkins helped me lose a good amount of weight. Then I hit a plateau (got depressed and then basically quit working out as hard but have maintained all the weight off). I weigh 149 lbs now. I want to lose about 25 more lbs (i’m 5′4″).
So I started my diet again. I run 1 mile at 5.0//5.2 mph on the treadmill for the past couple of days. I also do lots of crunches and occasionally jump on the elliptical for 10 minutes. The running is extremely difficult, but I somehow make it and run 1 mile without stopping. I also use weights at home and do bicep/tricep exercises throughout the day. My diet consists of mainly vegetables and now I’m thinking about incorporating some foods that are high in fiber.
My question is … Is this an effective plan for Weight Loss? Is 1 mile on the treadmill everyday enough cardio? I want to lose 15 lbs by new years… Is that feasible?
Any activties you find interested enough to keep doing is good. Believe it or not, body does have it’s own mind. If you push it too hard, it’ll rebel one way or another. Just keep what you enjoy to do. Take it from me, I’ve lost 40+lbs doing snowboarding and inline skating, of coz, with sensible diet.
Yes, it is quite feasible to lose 15lbs by new year (with Dieting NO LESS than 1200 calories a day). Consider lossing 2lbs a week, u still have plently of time
