How can I speed up my weight loss without exercise?

amputation


ETA: nevermind, you said least painful way possible, so I guess this solution is out. Here's another thought, though (and it's gonna sound harsh, but seems like you need a reality check). Pull up your big girl pants, stop whining, and get yourself some exercise. Yes, you can lose all your weight without it, but you won't have the body you want. And exercise doesn't have to be "painful", it can be quite rewarding in more ways than just weight loss.

I second this, I have lost a lot of weight so far as well as one of my friends she did it soley through extreme dieting and I did mine through proper diet and exercise. Yes we both have some loose skin because 100+ lbs is a lot to lose but my body is much more fit and tone than hers. I can pull off form fitting clothes to where she has to wear a body stocking to hold all of her loose skin in. So my vote is please include exercise into your process. You won't regret it!

Crystal Meth. I think they sell it at wal-mart.

actually you can find it cheaper on amazon.com

LMAO

Your lazy

You might lose a few more pounds, but you'll go back to your old ways.

Come back in a few months and prove me wrong

I think everyone on this subject has given you some good advice.

Sounds like you want your cake and eat it too !

Think about it, life isn't like that, you have to actually work at what you want in life.
Apply that to weight lose.

You can do it, just keep thinking of the 8 lbs you have already lost, and how many pounds you will lose if you keep on going.

Copied this from Facebook, which is meant for all of us: When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you will be successful !!

Take Care

You lost 8 pounds in 4 weeks, is that accurate? Congratulations! That's right on track with where you should be, already.

^^^^This!!!!! I would have loved to avg. 2lbs a week, instead it was more like 5lbs a month. Keep doing what you're doing to get back to us when you have a real problem.

Start going for walks. I think when people hear exercise, they picture themselves sweating and panting on a treadmill, about to pass out. It doesn't have to be like that.
When I was younger, I hated exercise. I LOVE going to the gym now.
On the weekends, I don't usually go to the gym because I don't have the time between spending time with friends, catching up on TV shows and snuggling with my boyfriend haha. But I like to go on walks, just so I'm getting a little exercise. I call my mom on the phone, because I know she can talk for at least a half hour, if not an hour, and I just stroll around my neighborhood.
Maybe start by adding in a small amount of exercise, and you might grow to enjoy it. Especially if you start seeing more results in your body, not just on your scale.

Also, congrats on the weight loss already! If you add in something small, even like walking 3x a week, you might see a little bit more results.

i'm not trying to be mean so please don't take this the wrong way but....
you are setting yourself up to fail, 50+ lbs in 6 months when you are unwilling to exercise, and you want ideas to make it go faster is just not do-able, even if you managed to get over half way the last 10-15lbs will take longer to come off than the rest
you've got two choices, eat the foods you love (in moderation) and exercise, or eat less food not so much of the foods you love and sit on your butt, nobody is suggesting you go out immediately and join a gym, or buy exercise equipment, but there must be something that you don't mind doing

it's taken me over 3 years to get where i am, and the majority of the exercise i have done is just walking, i don't live for the gym nor do i ever eat salad's

I had to push myself to exercise too but I choose things I enjoy (ie walking outdoors) and things I can fit into my day. I went on youtube and there are all kinds of shorter workouts you can manage until you build up tolerance. Just start! Even 10 minutes a day will help. My problem in the past has been an all-or-nothing attitude..doing to much too soon. Babysteps.

Welcome to mfp!!

1. There is a stickied post called "expectations" that talks about the various speeds of weight loss u r likey to encounter on your journey here. I recommend reading it- I think it's linked under "posts you will want to read again and again" or something like that. I really like that stickie- it helps to see where you have Been and are going.

2. Related to that, ^^^ you will see exactly why it takes so long to lose fat. The good news is you can adjust your expectations. When I fist started, I just logged- that was such an eye opener. Then as the weight started coming off more, I got excited. Then it slowed down and I was a little down hearted. But I knew (bc of that stickie) where I was, where I had been, and where I was headed to.

3. Yes, u absolutely CAN lose weight without exercising. You are not the only one who hates exercising!! Lol I've lost a bunch of weight and did very little exercising. I do chase kids tho. Try to get in some work everyday but don't feel u must exercise. Every little change is one more step towards healthy weight.

4. Don't think and worry about plateaus- if u have your foods on lockdown, patience will win out! No reason worrying about something that might not ever happen. There r ppl on here who never plateaued on their journey.

5. One thing that helps with hunger is eating more bulk. My family loves spaghetti night but I don't care for it. I'd rather "spend" my calories on different food so while they hit my spaghetti/meatballs I made them, I snarf down a ton of green beans, a huge salad, a slice of buttery French bread, and a lemon pepper baked chicken breast or two. Then I have room for a square or two of chocolate- bc I skipped out on spaghetti, which I don't care for anyway. The point is, find the foods you adore, make them work for you and cut corners where u can on cals. It's a beautiful system. If I had to just "eat less" of the food I make I would be paying attention to all I'm "missing" instead of paying attention to all the food I'm "getting."

6. Don't think of allll the weight you have to lose. Just think of the next pound. Tats how skyscrapers, pyramids, and fabulous bodies r made- one step at a time. If we look at a daunting task without breaking it down, we might never start. It's defeatist thinking to look at things that way.

These ^^^ r a few tips that have saved me. Read all the stickies, stay on the forums, and try to practice patience. You don't have to lose all your weight before you start to feel more in control of your life and body. There isn't a magic number where things will get easier- they get easier incrementally as you go, so you get to enjoy all your victories on the way! Those victories will keep your patience from running out! When I first started, I thought I might be here 3 months (which seemed a very long time) and maybe lose a little weight, but now I've been here almost 6 months, and I've lost even more weight. The months r going to go by anyway so just enjoy the journey to a healthier you and try to broaden your horizon. The world is your oyster- it just takes patience and a willingness to learn and try some new things.

I know it sounds bad of me but I really hate exercising.. I'll admit it, I'm lazy. I desperately want to lose weight so I signed up with MFP last month and started my diet on Jan. 24th. Since then I have lost 8.6 pounds by eating the same foods as always, just less of it. I have made a few changes to my diet though, like oatmeal, fruit, more water, and whole wheat spaghetti instead of regular. I'm ashamed of how big I've gotten and trust me, I do want to lose weight, but I want to do it in the least painful way possible. Is there any way I can speed up my weight loss without adding exercise or drastically changing everything I eat?? I know to some this may sound silly but for me I feel like the speed I'm currently at is just not fast enough. At this rate it will take me half a year to get to my goal and that's IF I don't plateau completely (I'm nearly certain I will at some point). My weight has already been fluctuating up and down two pounds and thoroughly confusing the heck out of me. On another note I'd like to add that lately I do feel full faster than I used to but at the same time I get hungry pretty fast too. Ever since I started this diet I feel so hungry and there are times I want to just binge but I deal with it, it's just so hard when you feel so hungry at night and it's hard to sleep because of it. I'm starting to ramble now so I will end this post. If anyone can give me advice on what to do I would truly appreciate it!

Congrats on your weight loss. Exercise is not necessary for weight loss but it is for fitness and get your body looking the way you want it. The 10,000 step challenge is rather painless and doesn't even feel like exercising. Simply wear a pedometer and aim for 10,000 steps each day. Increase your NEAT. All activity burns calories so something as simple as doing a bit of extra housework can help. There's a lot of online sources for calculating how many calories burned doing your favourite activity. If you sit watching tv you burn 0 calories but if you do the same while knitting you bur 26 calories per hour. It's not much but it is 26 calories burned your wouldn't have otherwise. Go shopping. It burns calories nicely and you don't necessarily have to buy anything. Give your house a good cleaning or do a bit of painting or organizing - all burn calories. The more active you become with your NEAT the better.
