It’s most commendable that you want to work together to loose weight. That way you will each motivate the other.
Modify your diet; read the Nutrition Facts labels; eliminate junk food.
Go for walks, together. Start off with short walks such as just around the block, then extend by going around 2 or 3 blocks. Explore your neighborhood, on foot; reverse the direction of your walks for some variety.
Consider bicycling. It has minimal impact on the body’s joints; it increases your metabolism; and it extends your range of physical activity.

Yeah, sure there are. The younger you are, the faster you lose weight. But don’t try fad diets, whatever you do. It’ll only make your condition worse.

You can start loading up on the protein, massively. You can get protein powder over at GNC or order online from GNC.com. The protein helps build your muscles, while also providing energy to burn fat.

But protein is half the battle. Exercising is the other half. While exercising, you will notice a little energy boost from the protein. Also, set short term goals for yourself (ex. I’ll run on the treadmill for 5 minutes), and try to reach those goals even though you feel tired. Then, if you’re working hard, you’ll see significant fat loss. You will also see that you start setting the short term goals harder than before, just for the heck of it.

I have the perfect diet plan for you but before I jump on to the meal schedule i will tell you a quick tip first. It is scientifically proven that if you eat 5-6 meals a day rather than your regular 3 meals, you will burn almost twice more fat. This is because when you consume a meal the body is designed to absorb all nutrients and contents(first the vitamins, then mineral, and finally fats and sugars) from that meal UNTIL you consume another meal. So if you eat 1 meal, wait 3 hours, then eat another meal, your body wont absorb as many fats and sugars as compared to 1 meal, wait 5-6hours, 2nd meal. I hope this made sense.

Below is the daily schedule diet:

Meal 1(Breakfast): 2 egg whites, 1 cup of cooked oatmeal
Meal 2(Snack): Fruit or Nuts
Meal 3(Lunch): Tossed Salad with 4oz Chicken strips
Meal 4(Snack): Fruit or Nuts
Meal 5(Dinner): Grilled fish with boiled spinach

Follow this diet everyday. Eat each meal within 2 1/2-3 hours in between. No meals after 9pm.
*Note: This was just an example of meals that you can eat, you can change each food category with another meal of the same category(i.e for your dinner you can substitute any other white meat such as chicken or turkey instead of the fish and for the boiled spinach any other vegetable will do)
Hope this helped!

Even if you feel you do not have a “regular schedule” to follow, it is possible to achieve weight-loss, especially if you really are dedicated, and you have good motivations.

The best diet motivation is knowing that you will have better health. But of course, feeling better also comes with looking better. You will be more healthy, you will have more energy, and you will be more confident.

It is very easy to achieve your goal. Giving a little effort and spending a little would assure you of real safe and effective diet. A low-carb, low fat, high-fiber diet is the best diet if you do not require tons of energy for work (for example, simple office work does not require a lot of energy). This is a sample menu, about 1200 calories the whole day. You will not spend a lot, and you will not feel hunger.

Breakfast:
1 pc toast / sliced bread
1 pc banana or apple
1 glass of milk
tea or coffee with low cal sweetener (or sugar)

10 am snack:
1 banana or apple OR
10 pcs of berries OR
1 cup popcorn
1 glass lemonade or juice

lunch:
open sandwich (no bread on top) containing:
1 slice of smoked ham (about 60 grams)
tomatoes, lettuce, onion
1 glass juice/lemonade/tea

4pm snack:
3 pcs of oreo cookies OR
1 palmful peanuts OR
any medium sized fruit

dinner:
1 100-gram cut of lean meat (if chicken, no skin)
1 1/2 golfball size serving mashed potato or pasta
up to 2 cups of green veggies or steamed carrots and peas
dessert: any medium fruit OR
1 golfball size of low fat ice cream or sorbet
1 cup of coffee or tea

you can do variations of this sample plan. Very low cost (not totally no cost ofcourse), low maintenance. You will not feel any hunger at any time of the day. The best thing is, these foods are definitely available in your own house, probably also the things you eat daily. And you will not deprive yourself so binging and mood swings will be avoided.

Throw in some exercise while you’re at it: jogging, weightlifting for muscle development, pilates for flexibility (there are websites that show some basic pilates moves), powerwalking for stamina building. Even regular day to day activities help – walking to the bus station, bicycling to the supermarket, mopping the floor, you can even do some jogging in-place while watching TV. Remember that a well balanced diet and regular exercise is still the best. Not only will you be kept trim, you will also stay healthy.

Remember that there are no quick-fix diets and exercises. Starving yourself and pushing yourself to extreme exhaustion would only lead to even more dangers, and a higher medical cost. The best way to achieve your goal and to get a healthier body is to incorporate a well balanced diet and enough exercise in your daily life.

There are several dietary changes you can make that should have you seeing results right away:

*Cut out all processed, refined white flour products (breads, crackers, pastas, etc.) and replace them with whole grain versions (“whole grain” should be the first item on the ingredients list)
*Drop the overprocessed junk foods – including chips, candy, cookies, soda, etc. Replace them with healthy snacks like fresh fruit or small portions of nuts
*Eat only when you’re truly hungry and listen to your body while you’re eating so that you don’t overeat
*There’s also some surprising new research about how the human body isn’t designed to process dairy and animal proteins. If you have the willpower, sticking with a healthy vegan diet that’s heavy on the beans and plant-based proteins is a great way to lose weight quickly.

As for exercise, the best type of exercise is one that you can stick with. I absolutely hate running on the treadmill, but put me in an hour and a half long hip hop dance class and I’ll push myself until I can’t move anymore. Find something that you enjoy and you won’t have any trouble forcing yourself to go every day.

However, it’s not uncommon for women to have trouble losing weight with just diet and exercise alone. The body is more than just a calculator – meaning that there’s more that goes into losing weight than just calories in versus calories out through exercise. If you’re having trouble losing weight, you might want to check with your doctor – there may be an underlying condition like hypothyroidism that’s preventing you from losing weight. I’m also a huge fan of natural, plant-based supplements that help boost energy and metabolism. Just check with your doctor before you start taking anything new – especially if you’re already on any prescription medications.

Hope this helps!
