Hello!
Everyone works slightly differently, especially when it comes to diet and exercise.
This is what I did!
- Decide that you want to lose weight - you must make sure you really want to lose weight, otherwise you'll give up at the first opportunity you have.
- Join a gym - only sign up for the minimum contract length. This may be a little more costly at first but if it really isn't for you, you won't have to pay out for another year!
- Find a gym/diet buddy - exercising and dieting can be really difficult on your own, especially if you're a mum or live with someone who isn't wanting/needing to lose weight.
- Buy some new clothes - whether this is an outfit in your ideal dress size and/or some new gym clothes to inspire you to go, both work!
- Plan your meals - work out your weeks meals so that you don't just pop in to a supermarket on your way home from work. If you're tired and hungry, you're bound to eat unhealthily.
One last tip... download or sign up to My Fitness Pal on your phone, tablet and whatever other device you can think of. It's free and really opens your eyes to what you are eating!
You can input your weight goals, record your weight and input all food/drink you have consumed throughout the day. You're able to include the exercise you have done for that day and it works out how many calories you've burned.
Note: the calories may differ on the app from the machines at the gym, so overwrite with the machines info!
I still use this application and couldn't live without it :]
Now all you need is the motivation to stick with it, which is a whooooooooole other post.
Hope this helped a little x
