how much do you think you can change your body in 6 weeks?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 89/100. NuttyMomma (643)   ranked 179 out of 1,924 in lose weight 3 years ago

I have been home now almost 3 months (unemployed). when i was working 12 hour days, i often skipped meals but was physically active. being home, i got lazy, depressed and often dressed in my "sloppy" clothes. you know, yoga pants and loose shirts. the inactivity and the winter (not wanting to take a walk-too cold) has had a negative effect on my once better body! I am going to wake up tomorrow, force myself to do an exercise tape, eat a healthy breakfast, flush my system all day with water with lemon and limit my computer time. My goal is to lose some weight and firm up in 6 weeks time. I think if i stick to it i can do it.

I work 12 hour days now. You definitely have one advantage to being at home more. You can stop running through the drive thru at lunch, etc. I think you can transform your body immensely in 6 weeks. Good luck in your quest!

I think it is probably possible, but I would also focus on the long term and begin with a lifestyle change that incorporates both a healthy eating plan and exercise.

6 weeks is just my short-term goal. Healthy eating hasn't been my issue. It is lack of exercise and skipping meals that I have been awful with.

I have the same goal as you. I am going to florida in 6 weeks and just today decided to start following weight watchers again. I am doing my treadmill every night if it kills me.
Hopefully we will both have great results in 6 weeks.

You are under a little bit more pressure than I am but motivation like that is great!! We will have results. I don't expect miracles but it will put me on my way!

I think you can make a big difference in 6 weeks.. if you stick to a healthy diet, and workout more often then yes you can make a change for sure. I am a mother of 2 kids, so my body has changed quite a bit.. my youngest just turned 1 and I lost the baby weight last year over the summer (25 lbs) and this year I plan on firming up what is left behind...LMAO, summer is going to be here and I will fit into my clothes but if I can firm up I will look better....LOL

so good luck to us both!! 6 weeks is not so bad!!


myLot reputation of 89/100. NuttyMomma (643)   ranked 179 out of 1,924 in lose weight  3 years ago

ok, i am ready to go!! i have 5 kids and i look pretty good for that but there is always room for improvement!!! i just look sloppy and it will do a lot for me to change that. good luck to you1 i think we will both be successful because we want it! i picked 6 weeks to have some kind of a goal but ultimately i am having a lifestyle overhaul because it is necessary.

A healthy weight loss of 12 pounds would be a reasonable goal for 6 weeks. If you exercise then you tone your body so that you could look quite a bit better in those 6 weeks. I joined weightwatchers in October of last year and have to date lost 30 pounds. I am starting to need some new clothes. Good luck and remember exercise isn't the only part of living healthy, you need to eat right as well.


myLot reputation of 89/100. NuttyMomma (643)   ranked 179 out of 1,924 in lose weight  3 years ago

12 lbs I can live with. I need to tone up!! My diet has always been healthy, when I eat. The problem is I got stuck in a bad pattern of skipping meals and not exercising. Getting moving is the tough part!


myLot reputation of 89/100. NuttyMomma (643)   ranked 179 out of 1,924 in lose weight  3 years ago

congratulations on your success! I'll bet it's going to be fun to go out shopping!

If I only had the money for new clothes. Exercising is the part my sister has a hard time with too, and me sometimes. When you don't fell good, its hard to be motivated to exercise.

Good Luck to you, NuttyMomma!
Try eating a lot of thick vegetable soup, it helps in weight reduction and keeps you from feeling hungry all the time.

Try doing Yoga regularly, too. This helps by making the body realise it should re-set its 'default weight'.
