Lot Metabo

weight loss when blocked by a plateau (girl- mid- 20s)?

I would like to lose 10 lbs and I've seem to hit a wall. I don't do a lot of activity. I'll admit that first but I do watch what I eat. Any ideas on how to rev my metabo up? I'm 130 lbs and would like to be down to 120 by August.. Does anyone have any ideas? I know there are no miracles, just looking for advice.

Hi JuicyGirl83,

You need to create a caloric deficit. Either by activity or by diet. Both is best. Why? Because any time. Let me type that again for you . . . ANY TIME you lose weight WITHOUT exercise you lose muscle. The key to losing weight AND looking good is keeping every ounce of muscle you have on your little body. You might not think you have much muscle but you do. Stop eating today and eat one piece of fruit a day. Just ONE piece. In a month you'll be rail thin, have zero energy, zero tone and be one pissed off little girl. SO, start to eat LESS more often throughout the day. START to do some body weight exercises like squats. FULL squats with your little butt to the ground and follow immediately with push ups. I know push ups are hard for girls so do them on a bench or table. You don't have to do them on your knee's unless you want to. Remember if its hard your probably working your muscles and you'll be a lot stronger in a week, month etc.

Remember that if you want to lose 10lbs in a month you'll need to account for approximately 35,000 calories. Divided by 30 days that comes to 1167 calories/day. That' a lot GF. I would suggest you forget the scale and go by the mirror especially if you start to exercise. As you start to add muscle to your frame you'll start to rev your metabolism and you'll look better in the mirror. So, stay off the scale and check the mirror. Take some photo's of yourself. You don't have to print them just store them on your computer and START. Retake them in a month to check your progress.

If you want more detailed exercise tips you'll have to shoot me an email.

I hope that helps.

Jesse
