Thread: Newbie - Reinvention, stage two

Hi everyone,

So I’m new here, im a middle age female & I have spent the last 3 1/2 years earning my nursing degree. However, I’m 140ish kg’s and NOT feeling like I real deserve the title as my body doesn’t reflect the level of professionalism It should.

So I’m here to ask for some help, my goal that it is to loose weight Of corse, but, also want to be Very toned. I’m nearly 6ft, have no idea as to how to go about it. However, I am prepared to do what it takes. .... if I can survive nursing school....anything is possible

Any advise would be appreciated

count your calories

if you don't want to count them, make simple changes like eating healthy, controlling your portions and going for a walk/run/bicycle ride

with your stats it should be really easy to make progress with even the smallest diet changes

As mentioned, it's about calories. Counting is best to ensure results happen - some people can rely on their appetite - but in many cases appetite is exactly what got you there in the first place...

Read the "basics" sticky thread. Do some kind of movement every day. Do a well known weight training routine (don't try to make your own) - look in the sticky threads in the Workout Programs forum for the ones we recommend and can support you on.
