Lose pounds and inches

How long would it take to lose 50 pounds?

I am currently 20 years old and i'm 6'2 297 pounds. I took a picture of myself yesterday and i didn't like how i looked so i'm joining the YMCA today and i'm gonna work my ass off everyday because i don't like my size. I don't mind eatting healthy but there is one thing that i'm addicted to and thats chinese food, all i get is chicken and broccoli with garlic sauce. So i was wondering what should i eat for now on and how long would it take me to lose that much weight

1. If you do it right, about 6 months.
2. About ten seconds--chop your legs off in a guillotine
3. I have studied exercising and weight-loss for fifteen years and the number one misconception is that you weight too much. Dont stop reading if you want a hot body. You are not trying to loose weight you are trying to loose fat . There is a big difference, I no girls that are 5ft weight 110 and have hot bodies. This is because they have muscle. So if you want to look better gain muscle and burn fat. OK now ill explain how: Now one day eat normally as you would and count the calories you ate. If you do not no the amount of calories of a cartain food look it up. Lets say you ate 2,000 calories the next day 1950 then 1900 then 1850 then1800 cut it down slowly or else youll not loose weight and even if you do youll gain the weight back. But cutting down on calories dont cut it take sugary and fatty substances out of your diet. no chips no soda no cake ..... Also increase the protein intake. Eat proteins with low fat like chicken, fish, egg whites, whey protein shakes are good. Most of all eat your fruits and vegetables . Do not eat to late because it is a fact that you do not burn many calories sleeping so you gain weight by eating before you sleep. Eat small frequent meals. Meaning eat 5 times a day of small meals example: when you wake up have a fruit (maby apple) and oatmeal then 2-3 hours later another samll meal and so on the best meal items, eggs, protein shake, gereen vegetables (salads) remember lots of dieters eat salad but ruin it by putting dressing. No dressing its not healthy. yogurt orange juice (healthy but no more than 1 glass daily) if you drink milk do not drink whole milk. fat reduced milk brown rice- no white rice beans... high protein low carb's. But do not be afriad of all carbs you need carbs like oatmeal, brown rice, pasta... just dont overload Also remember to walk 10 minutes after breakfast!!! You still have not done enought to loose weight You must EXERCISE!!!! ok i reccomend 10 minutes of walking every day after breakfast. and do extra exercises 5 days a week. This includes cardio. Most people think they can loose weight with just dieting. Nope you must do 30+ min cardio 5 days weekly Its is important to vary what you do and not let your body get too used to the exercises, Things to do for cardio: walk (fast) jog sprint cycling swimming running stairs jumpring jacks jump ropes play sports (maby join a track team) I no a lot of girls think theyll become manly by working out but it shapes the body and maked you look better. So i reccomend working out 3- 4 days a week. This will tighten your buttox and chest. help create a flat stomach and get rid of flab on the arms and legs. Please workout-- I reccomend working out no longer than 50 min 4 days a week. The reason 50 min is because when you lift weights after 50 minutes your body breaks down muscle for energy instead of fat so i usually go 45 min my schedule: thursday- chest and back friday- abs saturday- legs sunday- arms Follow every thing i said and youll loose weight. It is a slow process and unlike dieting these effects will be life- term without having to starve your self all you have to do is eat healthy. Stay motivated and even when you feel you cant loose weight and get muscle you can its a slow process. So it may take over a few months maby even a year. THE CHOICE IS YOURS FALL FOR THOSE FAKE COMMERCIALS ABOUT LOOSING 10 POUNDS IN A WEEK OR WORK HARD UNTIL YOU ACHIEVE THE BODY YOU WANT. -- REMEMBER THE CHOICE IS YOURS GOOD LUCK
4. if you want to work out at home - check out www.thereshapeworkout.com You can follow along with the audio prompt to change exercises like a circuit so you can watch tv, a movie or listen to music - i love it and i hate going to the gym - i always waste my money because i get bored of going to the gym.
