I need to lose weight!

[tn94z]

Okay, here is the deal. I need to lose some weight....probably 20lbs or so. I don't care about building a ton of muscle, or getting ripped or anything like that at the moment. I just want to lose this fat. I'll worry about the rest later.

I don't lift like I was because I just don't have the time (working my butt off due to financial constraints) but I do run with my wife whenever I can.

What is the best way to get this fat off on a pretty strict budget? I was doing good for a while (until my wife decided she wanted to start school in May...which is great!! But now I am in a financial strain to make school happen), but this is my situation now.


Any and all suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!!!

Re: I need to lose weight!

Diet suggestions is what I am looking for. Which is the best at getting the weight off on a budget? I have tried a few different ones just seeing which ones I like as far as what you eat and when you eat....but never stuck to them long enough for the results to show.

6 meals a day?
Low carb?
No carb?

What you think?

My buddy got some adipex from a weight loss dr. He shed 20 lbs quick. You gotta keep your protein up or you'll lose some muscle too. Eat clean 5 or six times a day.

I like the Anabolic Diet...Google it and read up on it. Its not expensive and people swear by it.
I can totally relate to what youre dealing with.

That diet sounds kind of like a timed carb diet. I was using a half day timed carb diet a few months ago but didn't really see any results. Maybe I should go back to that and just reduce my calories a tad?

That is probably the one diet that I have not read about it. Do you have any good links?

Re: I need to lose weight!

Dude, read The Primal Blueprint. You can get it from Amazon. If you follow it you will lose weight very quickly for real. I kind of go on and off with it cause I exercise so much that I need to eat more complex carbs than this allows, but trust me to simply lose weight and be healthy this is it. Its pretty much a caveman diet, meat, fruit, veggies, nuts, oils, eggs etc. Basically no flour or processed crap. I borrowed the book from a friend a while back, but there is also a blog that goes with it where there is a decent amount of info as well, I think it is called apple a day, or something like that. Look up the authors name and google it and it should come up.

Re: I need to lose weight!

Do intervals for your cardio. If you are running, you can definitely incorporate intervals into that.

Re: I need to lose weight!

bro, u've been posting this types of posts for a long time, everyone is exactly the same

I'M STRESSED, I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT

IMHO, UR EXTREMELY ERRATIC IN PLANNING, AND THUS U DON'T FOLLOW ANY PLAN FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME TO BE CONSISTENT

start with a financial budget, project it out over a year and try and get an emotional handle on your money, do the same with ur diet

if after you've completed your plans and 3 months from now ur still in the same boat, imho, u'd be a perfect candidate if you could find a great counselor

i've read most of your post over the years, and i'd say, u work ur ass off but it seems like you're constantly spinning ur wheels, some simple behavior modification 101 should do wonders for you quickly, like within a month

Re: I need to lose weight!

The initial financial part has a history behind it that was out if my control. The only reason I feel any strain there is my wife decided she wants to go to school in May. So now I have to try and pay as many bills off as I can by then. It's not like I went on some spending spree and snowed myself under.

As for the diet part, I was doing well on my plan with a trainer but I had to sacrifice the gym expense to help with the school goal. I admit my eating has gotten off track since leaving the gym and has put on the weight I had lost. In making this post, I have had 2 or 3 replies about diets I have never heard of, so the post was obviously good information wise.

As far as a counselor...really? I am probably one of the most "together" people you would meet. Almost to the point of being boring. But if you had a work schedule like mine, you would have issues following a plan as well.

But no excuses will be used on my end and I'll take the criticism and quit with the post.

Re: I need to lose weight!

Dont do anytype of carb diets what so ever there the worst for you and you will gain the wieght back real fast. You need to come up with a very healthy eating plan. And if you cant work out at the gym thats fine just do push ups at home,leg squats at home,lunges at home stuff you can do at home. When your running outside do what baby1 said intervals and do alot of bursts.When your at home you can even do stuff like shadow box in place,jump 10 times with knee ups I think you know what i'm talking about and the wieght will come off eventualy but it wont happen over night. But the key is a very healthy eating plan and dont cheat even if your that serious
