I am 17 years old, female. Prom is coming up in mid-May and I put on about 10 pounds over the summer that I want to take off plus a little bit more. I am 5’0 and 119 pounds. What I want to lose most, other than all around is my love handles, stomach (#1), butt (sticks out =/), and my arms are a little too fat for my body.
I am planning on going to the gym everyday for about 1.5-2 hours and eating healthy, however, I need a little help with following it and what would be beneficial and what wouldn’t.
I went to the gym today, for the first time for this diet plan/weight losing plan. I did the treadmill for 5ish minutes fast walking (warm-up/cool down) and about 10 minutes running (not SO fast, but running) and then did the sitting bike for 10 minutes/1.5 miles. It was my first day so I didn’t do much.
I am planning on eating healthy so it helps with my weight loss as well and my face.
I plan to eat Special K cereal with 1% milk in the morning (615 AM)
Lunch at school: apple and water? If I should eat more, maybe a sandwich (wheat bread with a slice of cheese since I’m a vegetarian, would that be healthy?) (1030 AM)
100 calorie pack? Or a granola bar would be healthier? (12-2ish, anytime between there)
Dinner: Indian food, but healthy, like soups and veggies.
Snacks during the day: apples, plums, oranges/tangerines/clementines, watermelon.
6 bottles of water per day.
Not eating after 7 PM.
I am planning to go to the school gym right after school from 230-3 and then come home and go to my gym by my house from 345-5?
What machines should I do? And how long about? (How do I keep myself from getting bored=( lol)
Also like on treadmill/elliptical should I do incline/hill, if it makes a difference?
Also I have a bit of acne on my face. Will exercising and eating like that help clear it up?
When will I see results? And is it possible to lose a bit of love handles/stomach/arm fat in about less than 3 months?
Thank you so much and if you have any other experience suggestions/ideas please help. If anything is unhealthy (foods that I listed) or exercises that will not help/help please tell me, thank you =)
If you ever did a diet/exercise plan that worked/is working in about 3 months, please tell.
For the acne, make sure you aren't wearing makeup when you go to work out.
I did the following stuff and lost about 10 lbs in less than a month. I did my cardio first thing in the morning and my workout in the afternoon.
Here's a few things you can do to get in shape:
1. Eat six small, healthy meals per day. Breakfast should be eaten within two hours of waking up. Stop drinking soda.
2. When you eat, keep serving sizes in mind. A snack with only 100 calories isn't too healthy when you eat three servings at a time.
3. Keep up the cardio. Remember to switch up intensity and duration. I suggest running, that's my favorite. Don't run every day, though. Alternate with swimming or biking, etc.
4. Incorporate a good core routine (planks, sit ups, leg raises, and some lower back exercises), pushups, pull ups, squats.
5. I get a lot of stuff from runnersworld.com, they have running plans and workout videos.
Do all that and you'll look good.
