Pregnancy fat that won't go away!

Submitted by Anonymous
 

 

"I had my daughter over a year ago now, and I'm still having trouble getting rid of the pregnancy fat! It's hard to get myself motivated and I surrender to my sweet tooth all the time! Any advice for what I can do to lose the weight? I don't have the money to go to the gym and I only play netball once a week in the winter on Saturday mornings! I need to lose weight faster so I have the confidence of maybe meeting a someone in the future... I'm getting lonley being a single mum and i wanna have fun too! Please help me!"

Weight loss can be bought down to a simple calculation.  If you consume more than you burn = you add wight.  If you burn more than you consume, you lose weight.You are burning calories consistantly throughout the day.  Even in your sleep, your body is still using energy to pump blood around your body, to breath.. to live. The average person burns approx 1500 calories a day JUST LIVING (for kilojoules please times this figure by 4.18).  Anything you consume over this figure, you must get rid of by excerising .... otherwise you will gain weight.  What does this mean? 

It means that you can still have your chocolate and "naughty sweet stuff" as long as you cut back elsewhere in your daily diet, or increase your excersise.  It's the total sum for the day which results in gain or loss by the end of the day. It might be easier to eat healthy a meal times (stay under your 1500 cals), then "trade off" with extra excersise for your treats.

For a mars bar: walk briskly for 45 mins... For a bowl of ice-cream: walk briskly for 30 mins...etc. When you think of weight loss as a maths problem, I find it's easier to stay on top of. Hope this helps  =0)

Clair_gal gave some good advice. I think the biggest way to loose weight is willpower :P Which unfortunately cannot be brought, if only,lol.Just try to eat healthier and go for walks in the afternoon when its nice and cool, push your daughter in her pram to burn more calories. You will be amazed at the results you will see if you just go walking everyday and cut back on portions, eat healthy, smaller meals more often.

Good luck with it, and I hope you loose the weight you need to be confident.

Hey I been trying to loose weight too. Try going to www.calorieking.com.au and sign up to them, and buy the calorie counting book from the newsagent, and the site will tell you how to loose weight. I find it really hard to get motivated too, and now that I have just got my licence I dont want to do anything but drive! Just make yourself go for a walk, take bubby in a pram and go for a walk. After you have done it for a few days you might get into the hang of it. See how that goes. Take care xx

i found that once i actually got the motivation to go i got more energy each time i went for  a walk.its the first part that sux.have u got a friend that can come with you that will help u stay motivated? my friend used to practically drag me to the gym kicking and screaming but once i was there i loved it if u wanna go to the gym check a few out some only cost $5. like everyone said a walk in the afternoon really helps u actually get out of the house and get some fresh air you can clear your mind and that help with the craziness of being stuck at home with bub and babies generally like being outside they will really appreciate the fresh air too. for the sweet tooth there is tablets out there that help with that i think they are blackmores or something they arent dodgy or anything.also are you eating right that might be why u have no motivation to excercise sometimes there seems like there is no time to have a descent meal but you really have to make time.and you know those times u all of a sudden get a burst of energy and think yep ill go for a walk then u think ohh no i have washing to do etc etc just go then forget about everything else it can be done when u get back

I just wanted to let you know that Ii know how you feel.

I'm beck and im also a single mum. after i had riley i was 20 kilos overweight and i had a very low energy level especially in the afternoon. I was nearly getting to the point where I was sad all the time and all i could think about was my weight and not wanting to go out because I didn't have anything that fit me. Then I found out about these amazing products from herbalife through a friend. I've only been on them for 2 weeks but already I have gained alot of energy and the best part is ive already lost 3 kilos and 9 cms. ALREADY!!! I can get you some more information on the products if you like my email is *address removed * let me know and good luck with what ever you decide.

Hey I know how you feel.. I'm the same.. probs maybe even worse.. I cant be bothered making food for myself like not even toast let alone go for a walk.... But then I realised that I was putting weight ON when i wanted to do the opposite.. so what I did was chop up fruit like watermelon or have grapes etc and then when you go to the fridge it will be there ready.. then try to maybe write a letter to a friend, or family, and walk up to the post office and post it..that will give you a reason to get out.. once you have gone out for maybe even a week, you will feel like it more.. if not try visiting close friends or go up to the shop etc..(depending where you live)
