Answers:
This is a long answer, but you keep asking this question so I figure it's time to lay it all out for you.

Your caloric intake won't help you here. 800-1000 calories may be enough to barely sustain your life, but it isn't enough to properly lose weight or tone up. I see that you're jogging, doing crunches, and lifting weights; do you think that you're going to see any of that tone you're working for by only eating 800-1000 calories a day.?

Listen, hon, here's the breakdown.
If you don't eat enough, your body begins to think it's starving. This means that everything you eat gets stored as fat. Why.? Fat is your body's long-term energy source. Your body begins to store the fat and burn off "extra" stuff, like your muscle. This is why people who are anorexic will have no muscle tone and be very skinny, but they are still FLABBY from fat. Is that really what you're going for.?

On top of this, your other question states that you are a new mother. Shame on you for being so ridiculous! In your misguided desperation, you are robbing not only your body, but your baby's body, of precious nutrients! You need to be all the mother you can, not completely drain your breast milk of all that your baby needs to LIVE because you feel a little chunky and don't know how to properly lose weight. I also see from a previous question that you are in the middle of a custody battle with your daughter. If your ex can prove that you are a danger to yourself and therefore the baby, he'll be getting sole custody...this won't be a joint setup.

You must think about people in cultures that don't worry about diet. How do they eat.? What do they do.? They eat small meals very often, and they work out a lot. I'll tell you right now that I am DISABLED and I do more than 20 minutes of cardio, more than 10 minutes of weights, and more than just 50 crunches (you shouldn't waste your time with crunches anyway). So not only are you clueless about how much you should eat, but you don't seem to understand how to exercise, either. Don't worry, I'm here for you.

Your cardio should last at least 45 minutes, unless you decide to do interval training, then 20 minutes is okay...however, you MUST put out when you do this. You need to give 100% effort each and every second of that 20 minutes. This kind of training challenges your body and you'll see results much quicker than just doing the same thing every day.

Your weight training shouldn't be timed. You should be doing a set amount of exercises, sets, and reps, and however long it takes, that's how long it takes. Cardio is timed, not weight training. You need to focus on the muscle group and really work it properly with several exercises devoted to that muscle group. There's no way that someone like you would be bodybuilding, so your sets should consist of 12-15 reps...with the last couple reps of every set being difficult. If they're easy, you aren't lifting heavy enough and are essentially wasting your time!

Crunches are the biggest waste of your time. You'd be better served standing in line for a store that will never open. You have upper, middle, lower, and side (oblique) abs, but crunches only work the upper abs. Save your breath and switch to something that actually works. There are literally over 100 different ways to work your abs, there's no reason you should be just laying on your back and barely moving (aka, doing crunches).


To answer your question, if you keep going like this, whatever you do lose by January will be muscle tone. You will have a thinner but FLABBY body, and your baby will be malnourished like its mother. Once you decide that you're at your "goal" weight (I'm sure 125lbs was just chosen at random or based on some silly chart), you'll start to eat enough to sustain human life again and notice that all your weight will come piling back on because you lost it by starving yourself. Your "exercise" won't prevent this because, as I said, you're doing less exercise than a disabled person (me).


Now, Maddy, let's get real. If you paid attention to how to REALLY lose weight instead of constantly posting your height and current weight every couple of days (or hours), you'd be doing much better. So please, take my advice and get smart about this. You are in a situation where you're very desperate for results, and in your desperation you're being very silly about how you're approaching all this. Take a moment to sit back, take a deep breath, and instead of focusing on being 125lbs, focus on being fit and healthy so you can be not only a healthy person, but a good mom who is able to keep up with her baby. Setting fitness goals will not only make you healthier, but you'll also see results much quicker.Health Question & Answer

You aren't getting enough calories and when you don't get enough calories over time your metabolism will slow down and your body will hang on to every calorie you have.
