Weight Loss Tips

Hello (:

I am now starting my plan on MyFitnessPal, and I was wondering if anyone has great, effective workout plans and great, healthy, yummy, low calorie recipes I could use. I currently weigh 200lbs and my goal is to lose at least 50lbs before my 21st birthday in June. but it would be nice if I could lose 20lbs by mid-January. I plan on working out 6x a week but don't want to be stuck with the same old boring workout.

Hello! Welcome!!!

As for workout plans.... only you know what you can do, like, and know what you'll stick with. I just started going to this gym that's perfect for my needs (a 24hr that's not too pricey, independent, and great security for night time exercisers like myself), and I like to alternate my treadmill or elliptical days with my weight machine days. I work out 3times a week (most weeks), and I try not to do more because your muscles can tear and your body needs to repair the damage before adding on to more damage.

In regards to recipes: Two of my favorite sites to check out are skinnytaste.com and emilybites.com Both of those are MPF member favorites, too. Another good one is www.eat-yourself-skinny.com You'll find members on here will post new recipes, just in case you haven't seen them yet.

A normal, safe weight loss goal is anywhere from .5-2lbs a week, so don't beat yourself up if you're not flying through weight loss.

Best of luck, and again, welcome!!
