Dear Mesara,
Workouts and diets! I managed to lose about 15 kg few years back when I was 30, from 68 kg to 53 kg in about 6 months. There was about 2-3 kg per month, which is considered in healthy range. It is all about your determination and perseverance.
Too bad I have started gaining weight after stopped workouts for some time.
I went to gym almost everyday, durations from less than 15 mins until 2 hrs, after stamina builded up later. (Increase the duration gradually.) I have no gym buddies, just guided by my dance instructor friend for the first few times.
- I don't like to run, instead I walked on treadmill, setting the highest inclination, for 30 mins.
- I went on cross trainer, another 30 mins.
- I also did stepper, for 30 mins.
- Lastly the weight machines.
- I did go for steam bath after workouts, about 10-15 mins. I prefer steam bath than sauna.
These are the usual tasks I set to achieve every time I went to gym. I did sometimes join in the step classes.
At home, I did some exercises too, such as sit-up.
I cut down the white rice/bread and sugar intakes a lot, I consumed low-GI wholemeal bread. Supper is a big NO!
You may start seeing the effects after 3 months, others' positive compliments is the motivation for you to continue the journey. But as I said, determination and perseverance! It is not easy at the beginning, but you definitely will enjoy the outcomes and health benefits. It is POSSIBLE without any pills or meal replacements, just workouts and diets, which I think is the best and healthiest way of losing weight.
A little long post, hope it helps you and other sisters to gain some encouragements. Cheers...
