15-20lbs to loose... where do I start?

shelbz09 · May 2014

Hey Guys,

Looking for some advice/support on where to start..... Everytime I start I end up giving up (personally, i think i sorta set unrealistic goals for a newbie,.,., get frustrated and give up)... but my life is changing this month as I graduate college.... (I will go for back but not for a bit). I need ME time. during this time, I want to loose 15-20lb at the max.

Last time I checked i weighed 118 but my highest has been 122,. looking to get around the 107/105 area........

I am 4'11. Anybody have any suggestions?

I also have terrible eating happens that i know i need to change.. soda... fast food.. its all gotta go but just looking at a good starting point/workout for somebody who doesnt have a gym membership

Hi... You probably want to start with something manageable, so you don't get frustrated. Something like walking an hour a day and reducing your soda consumption by half. You'll start to see some results and can build from there.

Good luck!

If you have 75+ lbs to lose 2 lbs/week is ideal
If you have 40-75 lbs to lose 1.5 lbs/week is ideal
If you have 25-40 lbs to lose 1 lbs/week is ideal
If you have 15 -25 lbs to lose 0.5 to 1.0 lbs/week is ideal
If you have less than 15 lbs to lose 0.5 lbs/week is ideal

You should start a strength training program. New Rules of Lifting for Women, Starting Strength or Stronglifts 5x5

Also, no need to get rid of foods you love, it's about moderation not deprivation.
