I lost 20 pounds in 10 months by running. I hate running – I am extremely slow, and it feels like a chore, but it drops weight like nothing else. It took me several months of walking, then walking faster, and then mixing walking/running, but it really works.

You can work out every day if you work out opposite muscle groups. I work out five days a week which means inevitably I work out a couple days in a row. Nothing wrong with that provided you are careful.

You also have to be really disciplined about diet. It honestly comes down to asking yourself, which makes you happier – being healthy, or eating whatever you want? Think long and hard and come up with your answer. If you do not have the discipline to change your eating habits, you are in for a lifetime of yo-yo weight.

Good luck!

It sounds like a decent plan, though I wouldn’t overdo it. Simply walking a lot is a great exercise. The swimming thing is perfect. It is THE best exercise. Next to that, bicycling is the best exercise. Fun too =) Cardio will definitely burn fat and slim you down. 20 lbs isn’t a lot to lose. You’ll be able to do it. Between the swimming and the cardio and the good diet.

Like I said, you should try really hard not to do it. Everything in moderation =) I’d only do the weight training a few days a week. Your muscles need rest. Cardio you can do as much as you want, along with ab stuff.

Hope this helped.
