I Need to Lose Weight

I have been walking since the spring and still am not close to my goal weight loss. I watch my calorie intake stay hydrated to stay healthy. I joined curves but with my schedule I never had time to go on a regular basis.

What does everyone do for exercise if you can only do it at home?

I am really interested losing this pooch in the lower tummy area and I honestly cannot do situps. It makes me feel like I am going to pass out.

Make sure you're getting enough sleep. I agree with upping the intensity of your workouts. Try incorporating short bursts of sprinting, jumping jacks, etc. Intermittent fasting can also be a tool.

@trista2 Thank you for replying. How often do you recommend fasting and for how long each time? I have always read that if you fast too often yoor body actually stores fat. I know the timing is the most important.

What I usually try to do is eat between noon and 8 pm only. It's not always possible, but on most days I can manage it. I drink coffee in the mornings and that fills me up enough. For me, a big breakfast will typically make me even hungrier by lunchtime. It's not for everyone, but may work for you.

@trista2 thank you so much. I am really ready to try some new ideas. I tend to gain over the holiday and winter months. Really just want to avoid that this year. Thanks again for taking the time to respond and for the great advice. 😀
