Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Chris asks…

Post pregnancy (read c-section particularly) weight loss success stories?

My son is now 9 months old. He was born via a c-section. I gained 34 lbs during my pregnancy of which I have so far lost only 14 lbs. Also my tummy is sticking out and it appears as if I were 6 months pregnant even now!
I would love to hear from you ladies about your weight loss success stories.

What was your motivation?
How did you do it?
What diet (or rather healthy food) schedule did you follow?

weight loss cardiff answers:

My daughter is nine months old too. I gained about the same weight as you, 32-33 total. I started at 148 lbs. And can’t seem to go below 152. That isn’t terrible since I am still breastfeeding and haven’t tried too hard to lose it, but I’ll tell you what has worked for me so far… Good old eating healthy and working out. In terms of what to eat, whole foods whole foods whole foods. Whole grains, veggies, no processed foods, eat olive oil, organic, yummy sugar free foods.

In terms of working out… Last night my hubby watched baby so I could go for a quick three mile run, on the weekends I make an effort to bike (with baby in bike seat) my errands rather than drive, I sign up for sprint triathlons and short distance runs and middle distance bike races. Basically, I am just active. Given how much I move I hoped I would have been lower than my pre-pregnancy weight, but I think as long as we breastfeed the weight just kinda hangs on, compliments of the hormones. Don’t worry! I am sure you will be back to skinny you before you know it! Hang in there!

Weight Loss Success Stories?

Tell your weight loss story !

-No fads.
-No surgeries.

Just the good old diet & exercise !

(By the way I’m 220, 5’5, and I have I goal weight of 160. I’m trying lose by September. I’m not sure if this realistic or not but be specific in your success thanks.)
-No pills, or anything crazy..

weight loss cardiff answers:

I weighed 243 on january 1st, 2009 and decided I was tired of being fat and unhealthy so I started watching what and how much I ate, I stopped eating fast food, stopped drinking soda, stopped eating sweets. All of these things were very hard for me but I am so fed up with not feeling good about me! So I made the sacrifice…Today I weigh 227!! My goal is also 160 which is completely possible by September. I do take a multivitamin and a vitamin c which I’ve noticed give me more energy! I workout 4-6 times a week and do 45-60 minutes of cardio and weights ( I alternate legs and arms )

Good Luck! It’s hard but so worth it!

Linda asks…

Weight loss success stories?

I need to get some inspiration. Tell me a weight loss story and how it has, if so, changed your life.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I’ve lost 60 pounds since February just by eating better, eating less, and exercise. NO diet pills, NO starving myself, nothing stupid.

My life is pretty awesome anyway, and I didn’t lose weight for any reason other than I didn’t want to die of heart disease or contract diabetes. I have a lot more stamina now and I buy smaller clothes. Those are good too 🙂

Donna asks…

Dose anyone have any weight loss success stories?

I am in the process of losing weight after being pregnant, and having a c-section. I actually gained most of my weight before I got pregnant. I had a hard time getting pregnant. I had PCOS, and some hormone problems that made me pack on the pounds, on top of taking meds to help with those problems, the meds I had to take caused weight gain. During my pregnancy I only gained about 35 pounds, which my doctor told me was the healthy amount to gain. Before all these problems came up I was used to being very thin. I always felt like I was very pretty, and I had a lot of confidence. I still think I’m pretty; I just want to lose weight. Also after I get my weight off I will be buying a completely new wardrobe, and makeup. So that gives me something to really look forward to, and makes me want to get it off that much more. I would love to hear some of your weight lose success stories, or makeover succes stories. Or if you have any kind of tips what so ever.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Being preggers screws up many women’s body forever, and loosing it is tuff, for sure. It all now comes down to the oldies but goodies— both yucko: diet and exercise.

Things that work for me:
Breakfast:
steel cut oats,1/4 c cooked until done also called Scottish oats, you can get them at Trader Joe’s, or any health food section.
Walnuts,10 or so halves, blue berries, ground flax seed, 2 T, some brown sugar . Skim milk
Lunch
1 c. Green spinach, olive oil for dressing, some olives, a carrot sliced, one tomato, or some cottage cheese and fresh fruit.
Dinner
a few oz. Fish, chicken or other lean meat, a green veggie, and a very tiny salad… Again, olive oil, not man made dressings..
Eliminate breads,candy, brownies, and the other stuff you and I all love. Snack on celery. You can easily loose a pound or two a week. Just remember, it didn’t take you just two months to pack in on, it will be longer than two months to get rid of it… And the exercise… Walk at least 20 min every day….even if it is just around your neighborhood pushing your baby with you. Boring??? Oh, yes. If you go to a gym, walk or use the elliptical strider or the tread mill for 15 minimum, and at least 3 times a week. Then use some of the machines for toning your tummy, and muscles.

Hope this helps.

Susan asks…

anyone have any great weight loss success stories?

just wondering if anyone out there has had success in losing a bunch of weight, if so how did you do it ?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Well here is one tip. Try eating more in the morning and less before you go to sleep. Avoid eating 4 hours prior to sleep so eat dinner early. This will help you to burn the calories from the morning thorughtout the day and will avoid you from gaining weight at night. At night your body turns everything to fat. Also eat less fat foods and reduce calorie intakes. And excercise to get a higher metabolism. It worked for me! I lossed 10 lbs in about 2 months!

weight loss cardiff answers:

I lost about 45 pounds and went from 140 to 95 in a few months. It was actually easy for me because my body is very sensitive to weight loss. I just cut down on portion sizes and completely ruled out deserts, fatty foods, and became a vegetarian.

Good luck!

Ruth asks…

Any weight loss success stories? How did you do it?

I’ve tried so many things to lose weight, but I really haven’t had much success (at least none that lasted). I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share some success stories with me. How did you do it?

weight loss cardiff answers:

I did it the old fashioned way, hard work, and less food. I worked outside in the heat and sweated it off. Also stopped drinking regular sodas. In a summer I went from 220 to 180. Good luck.

James asks…

Any weight loss success stories?

I’d really like to listen to your success stories for weight loss. Especially if you found a way to do it in five weeks. Maybe it’ll motivate me so that I’ll have my own success story one day.
By the way, when I lose weight, I practically melt it off. Like, I can lose 4lbs per week if I just cut out sodas. Would 12 lbs in 3 weeks being going too far, even though I hardly try? Or should I aim for like 3 per week?

weight loss cardiff answers:

This time two years ago, i weighed 155 lbs. (height of 5’5). But, i ate more veggies and limited calories to about 1200, and i switched between jogging and running for about 30 minutes a day, 3-5 days a week. I had gotten to 140 in about a month and a half. =]
