Not sure where to put this

Quote from Maleficent : If you tried diet and exercise and got "minimal" results, you're doing something wrong.

Seriously. Most people just want instant benefits. That shit doesn't happen. I've been in really good shape for the past few years, but have struggled to lose a bit of extra fat. Turns out I wasn't eating right (eating too little, actually) and honestly, I wasn't working out more than the occasional gym trip and hockey games.

Once I've switched up my diet after talking with my dietitian and started on a 4x per week workout regimen on top of hockey games, I'm in even better shape. It's taken about a month and a half, but I've noticeably lost some of the fat I wanted to get rid of around my midsection. I'm probably ~14% body fat, and my goal is to get myself down to around 10% or so.

Simply put, it takes time, effort, and an effective diet to accomplish what OP wants. There is no instant gratification with losing weight/fat.

Quote from Kristin : Everybody has time for self improvement. It just has to be a priority. If you're just looking for the appearance of improvement temporarily for whatever the event is that you have to go to, go the spanx/whatever route. If you really want to be more healthy & fit and charming/polite though, it's going to require some commitment.

Well said.




Everyone should have time for themselves. If not, make time!

Exactly. It just takes time. It doesn't have to cost a lot of money or time out of your day, either. OP should try something like sparkpeople.com. You can use their website for free, and there's lots of real, regular people on there that have lost weight successfully by being selective of what and how much they're putting in their bodies. You hold all the power to change your body or keep it the way it is.

All about will power and making the time. It's easy to say "I don't have time", but that's complete bullshit. Get up earlier. Work out during your lunch break, whatever. If you want to make it happen, you'll make time.

Exactly! If you're busy every waking minute of the day, cut something out. Seriously. That's not healthy.

Quote from chewspam : quit drinking. that will take care of all of those.

True, I found out recently my favorite beer has 300 calories a bottle, sorely disappointed was I.

Just drink enough that you black out... you can't count calories of things you don't remember . If you don't remember them did they even really happen?

Quote from rayzac : I remember saying the same thing to you Friday night.

I was just taking a drink of water when I read that...I was this ( II ) close to owing Mr SD for a new monitor.

I'm female and know this takes commitment so that's why I'm starting now.
