subject: How To Lose 80 Pounds In 6 Months! 7 Sure Fire Tips! [print this page] I had a girlfriend who was overweightI had a girlfriend who was overweight. At one point she tipped the scales at 230 pounds. Great girl. She had a lot of drive and determination so I helped her lose a ton of weight. She has kept it off and I will show you how she did it. Here are 7 sure fire tips on how to lose 80 pounds fast.
Step 1.
Believe in yourself. Failing, just won't happen. Start writing everything in a journal such as starting weight, foods eaten, exercise done and the goal you want to reach.
Step 2.
Try doing easy cardio such as walking, riding your bike or swimming. Aim for at least 30 minutes a day most days of the week. Losing 80 pounds in 6 months will be a very reasonable goal when you do exercise almost daily.
Step 3.
Stop eating 2 hours before you go to bed. You don't have to cut out all bad foods, just make sure you don't eat them before bed. If you have trouble sleeping, try Melatonin. It's a natural sleep aid to tell your brain it's time for bed.
Step 4.
Aim for 10 - 12 glasses of water per day and try to get them in a few hours before bed. You don't want your sleep to be interrupted several times in 1 night. Staying asleep will also ward off any late night munchies.
Step 5.
If you want to lose 80 pounds in 6 months, join a gym and stick with it. Make a friend there and hold each other accountable for meeting at the same day and time. Even if you are sticking to the simple machines at least you are trying.
Step 6.
If you are one of those people like me, and you crave sweets daily, start by cutting out the desserts and sweets just one day a week. Start building discipline and habits and pretty soon you will only be eating dessert 1 day a week.
Step 7.
To lose 80 pounds in 6 months, just stick with it, and when you get bored with a routine, switch it up. If today you finally ran a mile, tomorrow try for 1 1/2 miles. Pushing yourself beyond the limits you are used to WILL make a big difference. Try new exercises, get a personal trainer, do something.
My girlfriend knew the real secret on how to lose 80 pounds was simply sticking with it. She didn't do anything you can't do. She set a reasonable goal for herself and decided failure wasn't an option. Stick with your routine and you will see results too.
