Sadistic Rainbows Inochicon is this August, and I'd like to work on my body composition. I'd like to lose my belly fat, thin my waist and inner thigh fat. I'm 69 kg, and I'd like to lose 20 kg. My mom might be getting my family a gym membership, but before then, what could I do to achieve this goal? ; A ; Note: I'm a very lazy person who would much rather read or draw than workout. I can jog for a long distance for about 3-5 minutes without beginning to walk. I'm good and swimming and dancing. Depending on whether or not you have an athletic body or not, you may or may not be able to lose that much. 69 kg is about 152 lbs, and you want to lose 20kg which is roughly 44 lbs? That's not very likely to happen. You'll probably be able to lose 10-15 kg, and trust me, it'll make a big difference.
Swimming is great for all around slimming, but it's not that effective if you don't swim vigorous laps. It helps control weight, so it should be part of your daily routine. Really works the belly. Drink more water. 8 x 8 fl oz. per day is okay if you're aren't very active, but since you're going to be trying to lose weight drink 9-10 x 8 fl oz.
Eating more protein helps repair muscle damage, which helps burn fat, so after a workout eat something like a banana, immediately afterwards.
If you like dancing try to find something that looks like fun, and you can do by yourself, or with a partner if someone is willing. Belly dancing works your whole body, even your arms. I'm trying to learn how to, and it might be a good idea for you too, especially since you said you're good at dancing. I'm not, but I'm still going to try.

Well, might as well join in...
For the past few year's, simple activity's like taking a walk around the block, or hitting the mall weren't even options for me, so even though I don't eat terrible amounts of food, I have really gotten out of shape. it was a fight to keep going during Anime Punch earlier this year. On top of it, after seeing all the amazing cosplays, I really wanted to do one of my own, so me and my brother agreed on Inmu and Yanku, twins from a short anime film we love. The problem: they both wear shorts, and their chests only have bandages covering them. Being as big as I am, there's no way you could get me to run around with my belly showing, so I've decided to tone myself up, while handling a few emotional eating issues as well.
I think it's really hard for me to accept how pathetic my strength and endurance has gotten, since I used to be able to lift someone twice my size and take a punch without flinching. I want to be stronger, look better, and not be so self conscience when I get into my new cosplay. My goal is by next year to be 100 lbs lighter. That's 12 months, 2 pounds a week, 48 weeks total. I'll fall just short, but hopefully with my drive to get back into sports, the four extra pounds will be made up. Alot of my plans have me adding another extra push up, crunch or lap in the pool every week as my body gets used to doing the exercise. This is specifically for building endurance and muscle, not losing weight. A toned weight for me would be around 145lbs, but I want my muscle back too, which will have me gaining some of the weight I lose. Hence why I have to remind myself not to be bothered if my scale doesn't look too different after two-three weeks of hardcore activity. It may seem a little crazy, but you must also understand I don't do ANYTHING. I am unemployed, I just got in a new area and have no friends, so the time on my hands is ridiculous. Until I have a job, my time is wasted, so I intend to force myself from falling into old ruts with activity.
Plan:
5 female push ups when I wake up. - Add another after each week. 5 female push ups when I go to bed. - Add another after each week. 2 laps in the pool at least once a week. - Add another after each week. Can't do this until my Y membership clears. -_- Walk 2 miles every day. - Add another after 3 weeks. Limit soda intake - They say a soda everyday will gain you 20lbs a year, even diet. So far I drink two everyday, I want to get it down to only drinking soda when I go out for dinner. Cut sweets - It will be a helluva test of will, since our house is always stocked with them, but I am determined. Always leave a bite on the plate. - My mother lost 50lbs in two months from this method. I kid you not.
So, yes, thats my plan. As of tonight it is starting. Before I even take my shower, as a matter of fact. Wish me luck. biggrin
