I Know I'm Getting Fat, But What Do I Do?

Since the exams have come and gone. I have gained 2 stones - OMG!!!!! :eek:

This is seriously not like me. B4 the exams i wasn't exactly thin but in the middle between thin and gettin a lil chubby lol but now i can hardly wear any of my old clothes as they make me look really really fat. i'm getting worried if i'm ever going to loose it. I just don't know what to do?

Any Help??

Cheers

Do cardio exercises, e.g. running, skipping, etc.

Eat sensibly.

Crisps and fizzy drinks are your enemy.

I go to Slimming World i find it works for me(i lost 3.5pds this week, despite having 5 exams in 3 days), i drank plenty of water, went for short works and ate a load of fruit .But if u cant afford to go to a slimming club, just buy the slimming world magazine or go on website possibly, otherwise just eat healthily, drink plenty of water, and try not to pick between meals or eat fruit or veg,
hope u manage to achieve ur goals and feel good again in your clothes. good luck.

If you want to lose weight you will need to eat fewer calories than you are burning but it is important not to cut down too low otherwise your body will go into starvation mode. This means that your body senses that there is not enough food and will actually hold onto fat and all that you will lose will be muscle (this will slow down your metabolism).

Eat a healthy diet, plenty of wholegrains (oats, wholemeal bread and pasta, borwn rice), low fat protein, (not too many eggs, chicken, turkey, pulses like beans and low fat dairy produce) and a small amount of fat (mainly from nuts, seeds etc as these help your body to break down fat) and lots of fruit and veggies. Try to snack on fruit and vegetables as they are low in calories and fat but will help to fill you up and are really good for you. If you are extra hungry between meals have some veggies dipped into some low fat hummus or tomato salsa dip. Also make sure that you drink plenty of water- aim for 2-3 litres per day.

Exercise is also really important. This will increase your metabolism (so will help you to lose weight faster) but will also tone your body, making you feel great. Aim for about 30 mins every other day at first then increase this as you get stronger and fitter. Something like jogging is great as already suggeted, also swimming is great and even just walking everywhere will help. Try to include a range of exercise so that you don't get bored. Also aim to include some resistance work (push ups, sit ups, weight, pilates, yoga or whatever) about twice a week.

Note- if you are exercising this may mean that you gain some muscle (don't worry this won't make you bulky unless you take lots of testosterone) it will increase your metabolism (each pound of muscle burns 50 calories more per day) so will help you to lose fat. Even if you aren't losing lots of weight, I you will be getting smaller as you will be losing fat.

Good luck- you can do it!

watch your diet

same happened to me, but not 2 stone though. But my self on the scales the other day, and i was 17 st and 5 lb!!!! i was only 16 st and 10 lb about 2-3 months ago. So now it looks like gym, and a healthy diet

Ive been drinking loads of water during the exam period AND if there isn't snacks about I won't eat them, so I just have good lunches and dinners.

Get rid of all the snacky stuff!

Slimming world didn't work for me either.
If for some reason you gave up towards the end of the day, I would have eaten worse than I normally did. Owing to not wanting to eat my healthy extras in the morning because otherwise I'd have to have a crappy serving of something in the evening.
Oh a muller lights began to taste like ****.

I'm trying to do weight watchers now. I find it a bit more flexible.
