How long does it take to start losing weight?

Thanks

What's so good about meditation?

Wow, 60kgs is small (for a guy of course), that's what I weigh (now you see my problem)

Unless you're about 4' tall, 60kgs isn't much for a girl either.

I have friends who have been on the Atkins diet, and they say it worked for them.

You're probably tired because you do nothing.

Try drinking 3 litres of water a day. It makes you too full to eat lots and it also helps your body/digestion etc. If you eat 5 portions of fruit and veg per day that should leave you with very little room to eat other, less healthy foods. I lost lots of weight this way. Water's also good during revision as it aides concentration. 45 mins of aerobic exercise is meant to be a great fat burner too.

I like sport, but exercise sucks, I just can't get excited about running around for no obvious reason other than as part of a desperate quest to get buff.

As far as sports go, are you at Uni? Your gym will do weekly circuit training, go twice a week to that, thats intense exercise for 30 mins at least. Also, spinning classes, Im sure theyll have them, do that twice a week. That leaves 3 nights where you can do your own stuff.

I cant really give tips for exercise, you either are motivated to do it or you arent, if you think 'bloody hell I dont want to go for this run' then you arent alone, the difference is if you think 'i dont want to go for this run, but if I do it I will be 1 step to my goal, and I will feel good after doing it' it makes it just that little bit easier.

30 mins really is nothing in terms of exercise time, it may seem long and boring, but trust me, the more you do it, the easier it becomes, after a while you'll also find that you have to concentrate less on the given task, so you can think about other stuff, other than how boring or how much the thing youre doing hurts.

Break things down into sizeable chunks, listen to music, just think, 3 x 3:20 minute songs is 10 minutes, listen to 9 songs and youve done 30 minutes of exercise.

Its bloody hard to explain but basically you just need to get stuck into it, the reason you havent seen results so far is because you havent been commited enough, and once you do start seeing results itll further motivate you to carry on.

I've just started taking up running because I'm doing the race for life- 5K, which isn't really that much, but seeing as I hated sport and do no exercise it might as well be a marathon... As I said, I've only just started, but it's given me the motivation to go running for the last two days when all my other thoughts about maybe doing some exercise have led to nothing. So I'd suggest maybe you can train towards a race of some sort in order to keep your motivation up, the twin goals of losing weight and aiming for an event might make it seem a little less boring..
