Hello Ladies:
Hope you all don't mind me butting in.
The keys to safe weight loss have already been echoed on this thread.
Weight training is the key as well as cardio. Lean muscle burns more calories that fat does so the weight training is the absolute key (for me at least). Additionally cardio is a must as well. 30-45 minutes (for beginners), then try to increase to an hour. The reason I sat this is because it takes your body 15-20 minutes to even "realize" that you are exercising. The remainder of the time you are burning.
If you can afford it, get a heart rate monitor. This will indicate where you are within your training zone and how many calories you are burning...even when walking.
Finally diet. For me, I limit my carbs. I don't eliminate them, I limit them. The bulk of my carbs, I eat in the morning so I burn them throughout the day. ALso, I try to eliminate excessive potatoes, breads, rice, etc. from my diet. If I mus have them, I try to eat fortified types and whole grains, etc. WHite wonderbread...a no-no.
I've talked enough. I can go on forever on this topic.
Good luck.
Sorry for any typos..it's a laptop.
