HELP!!! I need a 20 pound weight loss!!!

WALK WALK WALK!!!! walk every single day, keep moving, keep active. Cut down on red meats, drink lots of water, eat healthy foods like fruits and veggies. Don't eat fattening desserts or sweets.
Walking will help a LOT though, so try that!
And you SHOULD get a nutritionist to help you!

When I need to lose weight, I drink extra water especially when I get the munchies. I also eat the same foods, but use a smaller plate. I try to chew slower so that even the smaller portion takes the same amount of time, or even a little longer.

i think we all know how to lose weight if we would do it. u don't eat. lol. somone told me one time when i was dieting if it taste good spit it out. lol

HI...

For me the best way to lose wiegth is to count calories! It is exactly like having a a debt that you need to pay off. with a debt you need to spend a little less money and put some away every month. It is exactly the same with weight loss. every week you need to eat a little less calories:)
I use an online service to count calories... And actualy i get motivated when doing it:) The one I am using is danish, so that one will probably not help you... But try searching Google "Free calorie counting" or "cron"
I found this one.. maybe it could be useful? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/

Another thing you should think about is your body position. How do you stand, walk sit down and so on...? Lots of people does not stand, walk, sit right.
Always have parralel feet. The toes must poit forward. Suck in your belly button. This will make a "workout" for you waist. When doing this you will give your back the support that it needs. Maybe you must tilt you hips a bit forward. That depends on how you body position is. You need to straighten you back.
When your arms are hanging your palms must face in to the thighs, not backwords. Lower your shoulders and move them backwords...

This can be hard to explain in words without pictures... but i hope you get the point... I know that you did not ask for this, but i know that often people has as muck problems with their body position as with the weight. And the doctors does not always have the focus on the bodyposition.

Feel free to ask, if I am not expressing myself clearly.. I am not 100% sure about the spelling and words:)

Good luck

I don't know how to help, but good luck with it.

I have not looked into it a ton but when I was trying to re focus my familys diet to a healthier one I searched online. There was millions of sites to look at. I think just following a healthy and balanced diet is the key.

My biggest health change was more fiber and more water. It was hard at first to change the habits but I lost 10 pounds with out eating any less just eating better. I changed to high fiber bread and high fiber granola bars. I feel like I am craving less too.

Hi Marguicha, first of all sorry to hear about your back pain. Hope you will
be alright soon. And the extra weight causes lot of problems in our body.
As it gives more stress on the legs, back. SO these are the main parts effeced
by extra weight.

Don't try to reduce 20 pounds in very short period. As it may give you more trouble, and may lead to more health problems. Better you keep a target for 5-6
months.And that too following good excercise and nutritious diet.

I will give you a few steps which is helping me to reduce my post preg weight.
Here you go.

1: Take one glass of luke warm water with 1 spoon of honey and 1 spoon of lemon
juice with empty stomach. This plays an effective role in loosing ur weight.

2:Take atleast 8 glasses of water. Try to take most of the water in the morning time.

3:Take a lot fresh veggies in the form of salads or steamed veggies. Never
over cook the veggies.

4:Try to eat a bowl of sprout, any sprout you would like to eat.

5: If you are backpain is not allowing you to excercise, try to follow yoga.It helps alot to reduce weight without much stress. But be careful that you do it
in the right way. If you have any ongoing yoga classes try joining into them.
Or if you don't find one you can easily find a good Yoga CD's which can be helpful
to you.

6: Finally avoid fatty foods..like chess,full fat milk,oil,fried items,choclates and all the junk food.

7: Add negative calorie foods to your diet. And include frsh fruits in your
daily diet.
