I'm looking to lose about 130 pounds for free (no joining expensive programs) without having to have surgery – suggestions?
I’m on a budget, so I’m hoping to find some healthy meal solutions that are inexpensive, and a weight loss program that doesn’t require joining an online program or a gym. I’m a young college student on a college student’s budget. Any advice would be helpful. I want to turn my life around so that I don’t die at a young age.
Hi Valerie!
It’s a big step to take, but one worth taking! You can’t change without challenging yourself and you won’t stick with it unless you like it. Losing weight without joining a gym is possible, if you have the dedication! Find something that you love doing and make a workout out of it, if you like walking try interval training, walk slow from one light pole to the next, then run fast to the next light pole and so on. Try getting at least 150 minutes of cardio a week. Weight training is extremely important for weight loss and toning, if you can’t afford weights find something around you can lift(water bottles, rocks). Weight training burns calories, boosts your metabolism and makes your body stronger so make sure you add it into you fitness routine. Writing up a plan of what you’re going to do every week will help you stick to it and remember, seeing results can take some time but you can do it! Nutrition wise: eat clean; no take out, no junk food, no soda. limit alcohol and drink tons of water!
Best of luck to you!
