Almost every woman wants to have attractive shapes. Some lucky women get them from birth thanks to genetics. Others, who are less fortunate, first “eat up” the extra tens of kilograms, and then frantically begin to search for a “magic” remedy or information on how to lose 50 kg. Many people think that this is impossible to do. They have no idea where as much as half a centner of weight can go. And, nevertheless, there are examples of real people who were able to overcome their complexes, laziness, fear and lost fifty kilograms. So you can too.
If you are determined to lose weight, the most important thing is not to give up and not look for excuses. You will probably have to spend from 6 months to 2-3 years on this. But when you do get the desired result, you will be proud of yourself. And your success story “How I lost 50 kg” will inspire those who are just about to embark on this difficult path.
General recommendations
If the number on the scale exceeds the 100-kilogram mark, it's time to think about the need to lose weight. After all, there is no guarantee that the weight will not continue to grow in the future. Obesity is known to be dangerous to health. Therefore, you don't have much time to think.
In order for the fight against excess body weight to be as effective as possible, you need to approach this problem from different angles. In addition to a thorough correction of the diet, you need to concentrate on several more points:
- Get examined. Often, excess weight appears due to disruptions in the functioning of certain organs and their systems. Therefore, before you begin active weight loss, you need to undergo an examination. Don't forget to consult a neurologist and endocrinologist. If any diseases are diagnosed, they must first be treated.
- Improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Digestive problems not only provoke obesity, but also significantly reduce the effectiveness of any diet.
- Deal with the psychological factor. Often depression and chronic stress cause overeating and, accordingly, weight gain.
- Detoxify your body before switching to a new diet. Any adsorbent preparation, fiber, water with lemon, and so on are suitable.
Real difficulties
It was more difficult when I left behind the first result of about 25 kg. It seems like this is happiness: you are young, quite slim, a beautiful blonde, but... The realization that I was very fat sent my self-esteem to the bottom. And the fact that there was still room to lose weight, but the weight was still holding off, was also not happy. At the same time, a developing and very difficult relationship with a man made my uncertainty almost absolute. In addition, I began to worry precisely because I was fat and no normal boy needed one. It took me many years for me to realize my attractiveness: only now I realized that I really had more than enough male attention. And then it happened. But how can you believe this when self-esteem is at zero?
Losing weight from 60 to 50 kg
Why do those who weigh not too much (60 kg) often fail to lose extra pounds and reduce their volume? As it turns out, many have never thought about their eating habits. But it is they who firmly hold them in this weight category, do not allow them to lose weight and gradually harm the body. How to lose weight from 60 kilograms and lose ten? Start with merciless correction of your own diet.
A sedentary lifestyle can spoil the results of even the most severe diet. If you need to lose weight from 60 to 50 kg in a month, increase physical activity.
Of course, not everyone has the opportunity to sign up for a membership to a fitness club and train there for a couple of hours three times a week. But everyone can give up riding in the elevator and walk 1-2 transport stops on the way to work every day.
By adding mandatory exercises in the morning and jumping rope in the evenings, you will be able to lose another 500-600 calories daily. This will certainly affect the size of your waist and hips. And you can easily “jump” from 60 to 50 kg.
I see a purpose, but I do not see obstacles
After such a dramatic weight loss, Stas quickly regained the lost kilograms. By that time he had already finished school - it was time to think about the future. The boy’s parents decided to send him to a military university, but for this it was necessary to pass physical standards: running 3 km, pull-ups, etc. There was very little time left for preparation - two months.

As Stas admits, he is a passionate person. And he decided to resort to extreme measures: practically give up food, replacing the main meals with water, and at the same time engage in physical activity in order to prepare for passing the standards. After three weeks of this “regime”, he realized that if he left everything as it was, his body would not last long. Although during this time the guy managed to lose 20 kg, it was impossible to continue at this pace.
Just at this time, watermelons began to ripen, and Stas decided to replace all food with this fruit. Such a diet cannot be called healthy either, but at least he stopped fainting during training. As a result, the young man managed to get rid of another 30 kg.

Success stories
On the Internet, you often see people sharing their weight loss success stories. Someone is in a hurry to publicly rejoice at the weight of 1 kg. And some enthusiastically talk about truly grandiose achievements. The latter are true role models. They often run highly popular pages on social networks, create video tutorials, and even participate in television shows.
Let's talk about those who actually lost 50 kg. Perhaps their nutrition programs, some individual developments, favorite exercises and workouts will help you repeat their victory over yourself.
Rybakova's experience
Tatyana Rybakova managed to achieve this result. Now her weight is 55 kg with a height of 165 centimeters. Excellent indicator! No one can believe that at the age of 15 her situation was, to put it mildly, catastrophic. The scales inexorably showed a terrible number - 105. To lose half (!) of her weight, she had to work hard. Tatyana was able to lose weight up to 55 kilograms in 3.5 years. I regained my shape with regular training in the gym. Weight remains virtually unchanged for over 4.5 years. It turned out that stabilizing it is a much more difficult process than losing extra pounds. After all, to maintain body weight within a given framework requires daily work on yourself and constant self-control.
The first step in the fight against excess weight was drawing up a daily menu. To work, Tatyana took food prepared in advance at home, packing it in a lunch box. Therefore, she was able to eat very small portions at 3-4 hour intervals.
Of course, she did not forget about the drinking regime - she drank a lot of water. Realizing that nutritional correction alone would not be enough, Tatyana signed up for a membership to a fitness club. And I was convinced that even irregular workouts combined with a healthy diet give a good effect.
Menu for one day by Tatiana Rybakova:
| Had breakfast | Porridge with the addition of fresh fruit or eggs (scrambled eggs). Cottage cheese with a small amount of natural honey. |
| Had lunch | Fish (alternatively seafood, meat, poultry), brown rice (alternatively bulgur, quinoa, buckwheat porridge, whole grain or buckwheat pasta) and vegetables. |
| Had dinner | I repeated the lunch menu, changing the dish options. |
| Had a snack | Vegetables, fruits, berries, nuts, “proper” sandwiches, light salads, smoothies. |
In the intervals between meals, be sure to drink clean water.
Malyshev's experience
The most real feat in the fight against extra pounds was accomplished by Maxim Malyshev, whose initial weight was 127 kg. He managed to lose 50 kg in six months. He now weighs approximately 82 kg.
Maxim immediately warns readers that the result will be individual in any case. After all, each of us has different initial data, and no two absolutely identical organisms exist. He also advises that before you start losing weight, be sure to get permission from a nutritionist and endocrinologist.
Maxim Malyshev visits the fitness club three times a week. The following set of exercises contributed to weight loss:
- Warm up. Half an hour of walking on the track, increasing speed and elevation in interval mode (indicators should be selected individually, in ascending order).
- Strength exercises under the guidance of a trainer. 1 hour is allotted. We worked only on the upper back and arms (due to the presence of a hernia).
- Completing the workout. Repeat the warm-up.
You should definitely walk in the fresh air four days a week. You can choose the time at your discretion - in the mornings or in the evenings. You need to spend at least half an hour on this. You should take at least 15,000 steps every day.
Advice from Maxim Malyshev
For those who are determined to lose 50 kg of excess weight, Maxim gives the following recommendations:
- Completely eliminate everything refined from your diet – flour and sweet foods.
- Increase the amount of fibrous foods and fiber. It takes a lot of calories to digest them.
- Introduce more proteins into the menu. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain a balance of macronutrients. There should be no sudden distortions.
- Dress salads with vegetable oil to a minimum. The maximum allowable amount is a tablespoon. It is best to use flaxseed. Sunflower oil is suitable for stewing or heating - just a little, just so that the food does not burn.
You can't go hungry. If you are constantly hungry, sooner or later you will have a breakdown. In some cases, the feeling of hunger may actually be thirst. Think about it.
Sample daily diet
Maxim gives his daily diet as an example. Its peculiarity is the use of specific sports nutrition and the division of dinner into 2 meals: before and after training.
| Had breakfast | Two percent cottage cheese with a teaspoon of natural honey. Oatmeal (equal parts water and milk). Muesli in yogurt. |
| Had breakfast again | Fruits (tangerines, apples, bananas). |
| Had lunch | Rice or buckwheat, steamed vegetables, soy cutlets or protein vegetarian semi-finished products (sausage, sausages), white cheese (Adyghe or Suluguni), tomatoes or cucumbers. All this is complemented with ginger drink. |
| Before training | Before jogging, eat oatmeal and rye flakes with flax seeds and honey. Before strength exercises - cottage cheese. Protein (isolate) is mixed into it. You can add kefir and muesli seasoned with yogurt (2.5% fat). |
| After training | A cup of protein (120 g) before bed. |
The experience of Marina Kiseleva
Marina Kiseleva, who shared her own experience of losing weight, weighed 51 kilograms at school with a height of 164 cm. When she met her future husband, she gained weight slightly. It seems like nothing critical. But after the birth of the child, the weight was stuck at 60 kilograms and did not want to decrease at all.
To begin with, Marina decided to cut down her food portions. On the first day of the diet, she hardly ate at all, but drank a lot. Then she began to gradually fill her diet with healthy foods. Immediately after waking up and before eating, I drank one or a couple of glasses of clean water. She managed to adjust not only her body, but also her head to radical changes in nutrition. It is extremely important to be aware of the need to lose weight. The weight after 2 weeks of this diet was 3 kg. First of all, the most unnecessary things came off.
Marina Kiseleva’s friend was also busy losing weight, but using a different method - she counted calories. Having become interested, Marina went to the Internet to find out from those who had lost weight the details of this weight loss method. It turned out that everything is simple:
- You are allowed to eat what you like and want, but in strictly limited quantities.
- It is required to calculate your body's individual daily needs (measured in calories), taking into account your height and weight.
Marina set a daily limit of 1350 kcal for herself. In the first few days, it was inconvenient for her to search and calculate calories for each product. Then she began to perceive this routine activity as a game. By writing down throughout the day what was eaten and how much, you can take stock in the evening. If the number of calories does not reach the limit, there is an opportunity with a clear conscience to enjoy something tasty with this free remainder. By the way, to count calories it is very convenient to use the “Calorie Counter” application on your smartphone.
Counting calories, Marina Kiseleva was able to lose another 7 kg in 2.5 months. At the moment, she tries not to exceed 1800 kcal per day. And this helps her maintain the result – 50 kg. To tighten her muscles and skin, she additionally did water aerobics for a month and a half.
Result
In total, I lost almost 50 kg. Count it per person. My life has become easier and richer, my clothing size is ML, and not because the item stretches well, but by centimeters. Considering my height, it's very good. I finally got into the normal range for my body mass index. Am I completely happy? No. And everyone is right when they say that happiness does not depend on external factors. In addition, such strong weight loss has its disadvantages.
For example, leather. I didn’t have any wild sports activities while losing weight, so my arms, hips and stomach paid a lot for it. Yes, the skin is gradually tightening now, but the effect will not go away completely. Surgery only. It’s scary, and I haven’t given birth yet – I don’t want to.
It can be difficult to explain to others that you are not eating enough because you are sick. And for many, this is either a personal insult or “these healthy lifestyle people again.” Despite the fact that I am not a fan or expert in these areas. Only personal experience and intuitive nutrition. Every time you have to explain, prove or even leave. Tiring.
People stopped recognizing me, literally everyone: acquaintances, former colleagues, classmates - everyone was in shock. They say: “You will be rich!” Soon?
About men
And most importantly: relationships with men. When they find out that she has lost weight, they seem to admire her. But, obviously, it’s on the back of many people’s minds: “What if she gets fat again?” My dear, good boys, I explain: once you lose a lot of weight, you can’t gain weight back. During my struggle with weight, I gained weight three times: from 4 to 9 kg. This was due to health problems. And it didn’t give me peace until I drove them away. Even in not very good physical condition, not to mention ordinary life. After all, when you know how easy and pleasant it is to be slim, every kilogram you gain seems unbearable. It's hard both physically and mentally. But I still don’t know how to explain this to the boys so that they can be released.
After all this, it seems to me that the most important thing in losing weight is not to think that you are losing weight. After all, even a minimal and imperceptible reduction in calories and physical activity that seems ridiculous at first glance will definitely give results. Namely, this will become an incentive to move on.
The main thing is to remember: a person is beautiful when he feels good. Be in harmony with yourself, and everything will work out!
