What's a good way to loose weight in one month?

Okay, so for about two or three weeks I've been exersizing for about 20 minutes to an hour every day, depending on how much time and how well I feel. I've also been eating better, such as more vegitables and fruits, less sweets -which use to be what I ate around twice every hour- and fats.



I can tell a difference in my stamina, but my belly-fat still hasn't gone away. I do around 60-100 sit ups a day to help with that and I jog up and down hill for about ten minutes around three or four times a week. I also lift 15 pound wights about thirty times with each arm, two different ways.



My friend has been doing the same as me as well, and she's already lost more weight that I have and is getting more muscles than I am.



I want to loose weight in time for school, which is about a month away, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas.



And I drink a lot of juice. Should I maybe drop that?

Sit ups and crunches do not get rid of belly fat. All that is doing is making your stomach muscles stronger. I recommend a strict diet along with some increased cardio. You want to keep your heart rate up for a min of 15 minutes. Also try doing your cardio in the AM to burn the stored up fat from overnight vs later after you have eaten. Then you are only burning what you have consumed.
Reply:definetly drop the juice.. it has so much sugar. replace it with water!!
Reply:First, increase your running time. you need to increase your running time to approx 30-45 min. daily, to boost your metabolism. If you are not used to this much running, just increase your running time 3-5 minutes each time, until you hit this time line. This means you run 30-45 minutes straight, no walking, no stopping. it's important to get your heart rate up for this amount of time.

You don't have to climb hills in your run. Run around the block, or a track. Or just go for a run after your workout. Remember, time is more important than distance, ok?

Also, yes cut the juice to more water.

although you may be doing sit ups, sometimes other exercises also help, such as crunches, reverse crunches, etc.

If you can get a gym membership that may help. do time on the ellipticals, stair master.

If not, see if someone has a workout station at their home, or join a yoga class. pilates is another good workout, at least 2 to 3 times a week. alternate your run/weights with yoga or pilates.

eat yogurt and milk twice daily with meals, for another boost.

Your friend probably has a different body type, and you can't compare yourself. you are different make ups, probably.

good luck! keep a journal of your workout and what you are eating. sometimes what helps is eating 5-6 smaller meals a day instead of 3 big ones.

If you have to eat a big meal, make it breakfast or lunch. never dinner.

dinner is the least important. However, be sure to eat something after your workout, like cerreal, banana and milk, a protein shake or smoothie to help your body replace needed nutrients to repair itself. this is important. You should eat within 45 of your workout. the sooner, the better, with LOTS of water... this is most important.

good luck!

It is very important that you find a diet that works and that you can continue living with. If your diet is not working you might want to rethink everything you’re doing.



? Don't skip breakfast - gives you energy to get through the day and fills you up so you're not as hungry for the rest of the day.

? drink lots of water preferably 3-4 bottles (force it down if you have to) - it cleans out your body and fills you up so you don't eat too much

? pick one day during the week and don't eat anything for that one day but drink a lot of water to fill yourself up and kill the cravings

? keep far away from sweets and high calorie foods (of course you can let yourself eat some sweets once in a while, like once a week, but thats it)

? when exercising don't over do it and leave a day of rest you just allow your muscles to develop further

? over-exercising may cause you to even gain weight and I don't means muscle plus it may cause th reverse and you will even lose muscle

? drink as little juice as possible because that's the calorie bomb and that's what may have you thinking why am I not losing weight - oh I've been drinking too much juice

? on days you don't eat you may definitely want to make up the lost calories and energy by drinking juice to replace food because you don’t want to suddenly black out because you don’t have any energy

? (don't starve yourself because remember its just one day a week - I did it on friday)

? don't eat after 6 or 7 pm to let you're body rest from the food intake (you know how you feel bad after eating something right before you go to sleep there you go) trust me I know so many people that have lost tremendous amounts of weight doing this and they have learned to live with it

? it is important to stay motivated - what or who are you doing this for well for the most part the answer should be - for yourself, because you're the on that wants to be healthy and you're the one that wants to have the great body.

? I workout at home and I have a bench that can be used with dumbbells and you can change the height, I also you it for ab exercises on the lowest setting, cost me about $40 - a lot less than the others

? I also have a weight bar and leg attachments for my chest, arms and legs

-and when it comes to exersicing you don't want to do the same thing everyday because you WILL get bored which makes you more likely to quit



Well good luck!
