Lose 50 Pounds FAQ:


I am 5′5 and 195 pounds. I had a baby two years ago and have been struggling every since to lose the weight. We are taking a family vacation in July and I refuse to go if I am still fat. I am a vegetarian so please no meat suggestions. I am starting a work-out routine today which I’m sure will help….but please. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

You can’t lose 50 lbs by July and that is a ridiculous, and dangerous, goal.

You should lose no more than 2 pounds per week to stay healthy and to maintain weight loss.

You might want to talk to your doctor about a safe plan; or call a programme like Jenny Craig who also supports its members.

Weight Watchers is fabulous for regular folks, lots of support and you can do the program on line or go to the meetings. i prefer going to the meetings because I have the type of personality where I need the positive reinforement often. At about a regular paced 2 pound a week loss, you will get pretty close to your 50 pound goal. I lost over 70 pounds with weight watchers.

Well I think you set the goal a little lower so you can be more realistic and healthy and I also think your family will Love you and socialize with you, no matter your weight. and to answer the question lots of greens…

try this

Below are the few Quick Steps towards a Healthier Diet.
1)Before starting any type of diet weight yourself and also note ur whole body measurement in a dairy. Then after every week weigh yourself and note it in ur diary and see how much weight u r losing.
2)Start taking your food with out any oil. Try to use boiled/steamed vegetables, meat, and lot of salad. U can eat fruits too and boiled/steamed chicken or red meat too but no pork. Please note and put it in ur mind that nothing fried or oily.
3)Try to chew ur every food for atleast 20 times. And then swallow it into ur stomach.
4)Potato is strictly forbidden during this diet
5)Don’t eat any type of junk food.
6)Drink at least 3 ltr of water daily. Make ur habit to drink water as much as u can. Rather take a bottle of water with you all the time, when you feel starving, drink it as much as u can.
7)use brown bread
8)use skimmed and low fat milk and yogurt
9)no sugar of any type.
10)First try to avoid any type of soft drink but if u really wants to taste some thing sweet then drink any soft drink (but not cola), but just one glass once in a week.
11)Eat at least once in a day a vegetable soap or Thai soup too as much as u can but no corn flour in it.
12)Just look at your food portion. It is much better to eat several small meals a day (like 5-6 healthy meals a day) than eat either one or two or three huge meal a day.
13)if u feel hungry then divide ur diet into 5-6 healthy meals a day (1 plate size only)
14)one bowl of oatmeal can be taken as a break fast
15)No hard drink of any type is allowed in this diet.
16)Smoking strictly forbidden in this diet
17)Watch out ur every drink and every single piece of ur food. Stay away from fatty foods, junk foods, synthetic foods, foods with preservatives and too much carbohydrate. Don’t try to take foods that are made of white flour for example white bread, cakes, pasta etc and food contain sugar such as cookies, ice cream, candy etc.
18)Remember after every 15 days you can take once in a while with a little treat any thing u like. But remember just a small portion. For example one small personal pizza or one small burger or small pastry.
19)Try to adopt some healthy timing. Early to rise and early to bed. No late sittings.
20)People usually want Quick and Easy result, we all are impatient. You have to be patient in terms of your weight loss and never give up. Always keep in mind that slow and steady win the race.
21)At least take this diet for 3 to 6 months and when u feel that u have achieved your desired weight then make this is as a Life Style change for you entire life. Remember do not focus on just losing weight, try to concentrate on diet plan forever so that you will never have to loose weight again. But occasionally u can take other junk food too.
22) You have to keep in mind that above plan is a not a quick thin program. Don’t try to deceive ur body. It will destroy your metabolism and in the future the proportion of gaining weight is much higher and easier than today.
23)Never ever go for any type of Diet pills or any drug which claim that it will reduce the weight quickly. Taking Diet pills will kill.
24)Exercise: Rule-of -Thumb: remember the formula for weight loss and that is Diet= 70% Exercise= 30%. So remember exercise is must with every diet plan. The best indoor exercise machine is tread mill. Run on tread mill for at least 30 mnts daily. Try to extend ur period for one hour. And if you don’t have this facility then best indoor Exercise is skipping.

It’s said you should expect to lose weight by eating healthier and exercising.. The safest range of losing weight is 1-2 pounds a week. There are around 14 weeks from now until July, which would put you at losing 28 pounds by July. It’s pretty unrealistic to attempt 50 pounds. Exersice and eating healthier is the only real way to lose weight and KEEP it off.. Exersicing will also help you tone up and look better in a bathing suit!

I’ve lost a pound a week for three weeks now. I make sure to eat some form of breakfast (Special K or cereal bars) firs thing to get my metabolism running. I do at least an hour of cardio every day except for the weekends and some weight training. I also try to eat small, healthy snacks throughout the day.
