How to loose wieght and get in shape.?!
Question: Hi, I know this probobly sounds repetative, because everyone is asking the same question. But just allow me to give you some brief info on myself and then maybe you can help me out.
Goals: to lose wieght and get back into shape.
I work early in the morning from 6 am - about 1 or 2 pm.
So that means i get up around 5 am to get ready for work. So working out early in the morning is out of the question.
When i come home i have normal prioritys and home work to do. Yes i have home work. I go to college from 5 to around 8:30 to 9 at night.
Pretty much when i get home all i want to do is go to bed. Because i have to get up bright and early at 5.
So here is what i am asking. Please give me any info on diet and excersise. Anything would be great.

Thanks so much in advance

Keep the fat and sodium down. Regardless of time constraints, there are still some things you can switch to make a healthier diet. Switch your carb snacks for fruits, ice cream for a cup of yogurt that sits in the freezer while you're at class. Switch white bread, pastas, and rice to wheat.
When you feel like you're hungry, drink some water and wait 5-10 minutes. Then eat some fruit and wait 5 more. If you're still hungry, then eat... but I've found that will often do the trick (I'm a grazer).
Switch your sugar for Splenda and keep some Crystal Light packets with you so you can just grab a bottle of water wherever you are (the Pomegranate/Cherry immunity one is delicious). You'll be amazed how much weight you'll lose just by cutting out sugar and making a couple of small changes.
On days that you don't have much homework (hahaha), try to talk a 30 minute walk and if you can, double it on the weekends. Just do what you can, when you can. If you watch tv, do some exercises on commercials. Any little bit helps.
It's a start. Good luck!

It will keep track of exercise, calories (good and bad), and your progress. There are lots of good tools there. Hope that helps!
College life tends to include a lot of walking, but if you drive, park a half mile from your class room. That will give you two ten minute walks. Take the steps in a hurry whenever you can.
Write down everything you eat during three days, including snacks. Take a look and you can probably find out some unhealthy and calorie heavy foods.
Take time for breakfast so you are not hungry for snacks all morning long.

8)form a support group - invite friends, relatives, parents, partners
to participate in a healthy lifestyle, and keep you accountable. This
is important.
9) plan to lose weight slowly (1-2 lbs a week), and progressively
overtime increase your
goals!
First you need to set a goal for your self that you know you can keep, for example ( i will drink more water and less soda)......... but don't deprive yourself of something....and eat lots of salad
