Trying to lose 10 pounds

[Anonymous]

My diet has always been pretty crap, honestly, but I'm trying to do better. I'm pretty naturally slim but it is definitely catching up with me. I think I'd feel better at about 10 pounds lighter than I am now. My biggest thing is my butt and legs - I feel like everything I eat skips my stomach and goes right to my thighs!

What should I be doing to lose 10 pounds and tighten that all up? Start running every day? Squats? Hill walking? Combo of everything? I am also working on my diet... slowly but surely.

If you weigh 135 with a crap diet, it should be super easy to lose weight. All you have to do is eat a little better. In terms of working out, I see the best results from weights and yoga.

Thank you! I've been looking into yoga so I think that'll be first on my list. And vegetables... lots of vegetables

Oh yeah, that makes a huge difference.
I’d keep a log of everything you eat for a week or two. If you bite it, write it. Just the act of doing that will likely help you cut out a lot of the foods you said you’ve sloppy about.
Up your intake of water.
Pick your exercise and go all out. Without kids, you have time. I see the best results with real weight lifting.

At age 30, it will come off quickly.

Thank you!! Really great ideas. I really do just need to commit, I'm always so wishy washy when it comes to working out.

OP, I was like you in that I could eat/drink whatever I wanted and stay thin until all of a sudden I couldn’t. I switched to eating healthier at the time solely for weight purposes, but in hindsight, the benefits for how I feel in general far surpasses any weight loss. Also, people who know me well over years said my skin improved.

I dropped 10 pounds very quickly without being hungry. This was a decade ago and since beginning this I’ve put the 10 pounds back on, but it is muscle from weights/barre and the “filling out” effects of just going from 30 to 40, so still happy with the results.
