Free Advice (and worth every penny ) for beginners:
1. You can get the meanest, most sadistic personal trainer on earth, but if you don't change your eating habits you will only see modest results....at best.
2. You can go the complete "rabbit food" route and, combined with exercise, you will lose the most weight. Or, you can start by just eating less. This is the most unpleasant part of losing weight because you're stomach hurts and you feel like shit. If you can stick with it for a few weeks, tho, it will pass. Your stomach will eventually shrink and it will take less food to fill you up. Also keep in mind that most any type of activity will make you MORE HUNGRY. Don't fall victim to the trap of rewarding yourself with your favorite food. You will negate all of the HELL that you've endured up to that point
3. Forget about soft-drinks. Even diet/"zero" ones. Your body needs water and water makes you feel fuller (you can even drink a glass before and/or after meals).
4. Don't eat after "dinner". AT ALL. After a few days, it will become easier. Don't ever break this rule. It makes a difference.
5. If you ever "cheat"....don't eat anything high in fat or carbohydrates. These foods will not satisfy the craving and will actually make you feel more hungry than you were before. They will also make you want more of the same crappy food. It's science. Foods high in protein actually have the opposite result, in that they turn the hunger switch OFF
6. Any exercise program should include both weight training and cardio.
a) Please know, however, it DOES NOT have to be "heavy" weight training. For most women, a set of 5 or 8lb weights will do. (note: there's literally so many different exercises you can do with weights that I won't go into all of them now, but if you're interested, you can find a program on google. Also, at the casual level, just about any of them will do, so long as it is comprehensive and gets all the major muscle groups involved at one time or another. The important thing is that you are engaging your body in some way. You will feel better, you will look better, and more muscle means more fat burning. And, don't be afraid that you're going to wake up one day looking like a man. How ever unattractive you might think female bodybuilders are, I promise you that they do not get that way by accident LOL).
b) And finally, in order to get the full benefit of a cardio workout, the pace and duration matters. Whether you are on a treadmill or walking in the park, a "leisurely stroll" is not going to cut it. If you're just walking, and there's NOTHING wrong with that, it must be at a pace and duration that it elevates your heart rate and keeps it there for an extended period of time (you can start with 20-30 mins and work up to 45min-1hr). If you feel like you're getting dizzy or feeling faint, then slow down. But if you're with a partner (or you can imagine that you were) and you would be able to comfortably carry on a conversation, you're not walking fast enough, i.e. you shouldn't be on the ground dying, but you should be breathing such that saying more than a few words at a time is hard.
In closing, a lot of people go out and buy whatever the new fad training video or exercise equipment is, and some of them are good, but what a lot of people don't know is that you will never (NEVER!) look like the people in those commercials unless you change your diet. Believe me, I've tried Another thing to keep in mind is that none of this is going to be easy. You will hurt (especially in the beginning - and I'm talking about general SORENESS...not INJURIES LOL), but as much as you want to give up or "take a day off", the best thing you will ever do is PUSH THROUGH!
FYI, it is never a bad idea to get checked out by your doctor before starting any kind of exercise regiment. Also, I am not a personal trainer, coach, nutritionist, or anything of the sort. Just speaking from my own research and experience.
