MY MOM AND SISTER WANT ME TO DO DIET PILLS, BUT IM NOT SURE. I WANT TO DO THIS FOR MYSELF...ANY TIPS?

i want motivation and i cant stand working out!!

any helpful comments welcome:)
 
Honestly, diet pills and diet shakes and diet meals.. it's all about money. Don't bother! You only have to browse around on these forums and see the million posts/advertisements of 1-post-people trying to sell pills and shakes to realise it's suspicious. This is coming from someone who fell for all that bullshit and tried most of the above... and had very limited success. (And gained the little weight I'd lost back anyway.) They always say 'to be taken along with proper diet and exercise', but fact is, with proper diet and exercise you'll be losing weight anyway.


As much as we all wish it was so, there is no quick fix to losing weight... You gotta just stick to it consistantly, and however long it takes, it takes!


Your mum and sister should just be happy and supportive of you, not trying to push manufactured products on you. The 'healthy' amount of weight you should be aiming to lose each week is 2lbs. Dropping more than that means you're likely either dropping water or muscle - water you'll likely gain back once you rehydrate, and losing muscle lowers your metabolism and makes it tougher for you to lose in the long run.


Good on you for doing this yourself, your own way! Good luck! Start a diary and let us support you too!
 
Thanks Geekynoob, will be mighty pleased if I can be near that same weight by next Sunday.


Dang easter bunny and holiday meals... Will probably give me another shot to hit that same goal weight :eek:
 
Least you're still at your goal, feelgooder! Guess Easter didn't escape you entirely , haha! Congrats on your losses this month! You got to your goal so fast! I'm jealous!


1st April (Starting weight) - 60.9kg

8th April - 59.7kg

15th April - 59.7kg

22nd April 59.8 (It's gonna be another one of THOSE months again! Ugh!)

29th April -
 
Thanks Sarah,


This will likely be an interim goal weight at the end of the journey. Time to start work on the next 15-30 lbs as 235 is better than 295 but still quite heavy if I want to start tackling marathons or triathlons :)
 
Ah ha! Well.. judging by your progress right now, you'll be there in no time!


1st April (Starting weight) - 60.9kg

8th April - 59.7kg

15th April - 59.7kg

22nd April 59.8 (It's gonna be another one of THOSE months again! Ugh!)

29th April - 59.7


Only lost 2.6lbs for April. My lowest month yet. :<


The Scale God was pretty mean to me considering I had a decentish start (for me!), but I guess at least I still lost overall, rather than gained. I'm SO close to my goal but those last 7ish lbs are taking forever! 8 more weeks .. slogging on. :p

Hope others had a bit more luck.
