I'm a brutally honest American who is ashamed of the fact that America is the fattest country on earth.
20 lbs overweight? Here in the states you would be considered anorexic and you would be hated by most women. However 20 pound of excessive fat is 20 pounds too much and you need to lose it. Lets get started.
You want to do this in the best possible way that will increase your overall health so don;t look at those 20 pound as something bad. Look at them as the fuel you need to build some muscle.
You need to do exercises that tone and buyild lean body mass aka muscle while at the same time gradually dropping fat.
You also need to dertermine if your body fat percentage. If you were really huge that could wait but you have very little fat to lose. 20 pounds may be too much or it may not be enough.
Hi! My name is Lisa, I'm a married, stay-at-home mom of three and I need to lose 20 lbs, too!
I'm 41 and can't seem to lose weight like I used to. I've always gone back and forth with 10lbs, but now, out of no where it's 20 lbs and I can't shake it for all the trying.
I don't do fad diets or crash diets. I just need to check in with someone once or twice a day to say that I ate right, drank H20 and exercised (even if only a little).
I understand about ebaying and computer work. In the last two years I became a web master for about 15 non-profits (sort of as a ministry) and all the desk work really packed on the lbs for me. I'm so soft and bumpy where I've never been soft and bumpy. I hate it!
