Lessons & tips: OK GUYS YOU NEED TO READ THIS

1) YOU HAVE TO HAVE A STRICT WORKOUT ROUTINE.Mine was 12-2 at the Gym every day.
If you cant go to the Gym I recommend going to a gym and getting a personal workout schedule FOR YOUR HOME. Usually 30mins cardio (a run or bike ride) or a dance about .200 on ab workout, and some squats should do everything you need. but this needs to be done daily!. it will take no more than an hour of your day!

2)YOU NEED A DECENT DIET:
Some hot tips, if yo uhave to eat out try exchanging stuff like potatoes for  brown carbs or vegys, and trust me vegys and stuff can be yummy if done properly. NOT ALL HEALTHY BALANCES HAVE TO BE SALAD SALAD SALAD. if you look at the size of your hand a quater of your hand should be vegs the other half carbs and the rest should be protein (chicken ect}) so getting a chicken, any meat is healthier than potatoes ect. It burns quicker in exercise. so dont cut down ur food per say but do exchange it over. and try boiling and oven cooking things rather than frying it. its amazing what you can do without frying! oh also cut down on bread intake and change over fully pasteurised milk for something less fatty (if you think milk is for baby cows to gain weight!).. Also try not to snack on too much, if you think thats inevitable it isnt, just try to eat three solid meals per day and u shouldnt get urges in between.

3)DO NOT STRESS ABOUT THE SCALES:
Yes it is true. you should be loosing weight but if it hasnt decreased greatly and u are doing you exercise it is because you are toning. without realising it you are turning fat into muscle, and fat weighs more! even if you think ur getting fatter or not loosing weight always keep in mind that you are loosing your fat and the stuff youw ant to loose but so long as you go by ur regime you are making muscle which is great!.. of course if u arent going by your routine its highly likely that that is just putting on the fat.

This is ALL YOU NEED. A Small Workout, A good Healthy diet (BUT IT CAN'T BE A DIET IT HAS TO BE A LIFESTYLE), And don't be obsesed with seeing fast speedy scale lowering measurements. if you are loosing too fast its more likely to be ripping at fat and muscle, and its crash dieting, u will put it on as quick as u loose it and you wont be healthy.
