it might sound stupid or tedious but keeping a food journal/counting calories really helps. you are much more aware of what you are putting into your body and you're more likely to restrain yourself. i lost 40 lbs this way and i've keep it off for about two years. but it really depends on the person. try out different things and see what works for you, and stick with it!
I have been fortunate enough to lose 48lbs since Oct. of 05. I know, not as much as it should be, but I didn't even intend to lose the weight. I just, sort of did, but here is what I did.Quote:

Not only that, I rode my bike to and from work, up a huge hill on the way home.
If you have a job where you sit down all day, you must do some sort of workout. Try riding a bike to and from work, or start off slower by walking to work.
The key to losing weight is to burn off more calories than you take in. If the munchies are a problem, put down the candy bar or chips, and munch on something healthier. Fruit is AWESOME baked, I love it. :thumbsup:
I cut alcohol out of my diet 100%. 1 bottle of beer packs about 350 calories. Mulitiply that by 12 beers in a night. Fri. Sat. night. TONS of calories, will make you fat in no time. If you like drinking though, drink hard booze, with diet soda, or juice.
Eat only when you're hungry, and try not to munch out. Cure the munchies by getting rid of cottonmouth with some kind of liquid. Water is good. ;)
Hope this helps somewhat. Getting a good workout, everyday, will help you lose weight. Doing a workout once a week will do jack shit, or getting a sundae when you lost 2lbs to celebrate will do no good either.
Bye.

Cut down on all drinks cept water ( they kill you with the carbs) that means no soda, and only natural juice once in a while. Start working out, running kills fat and the gym kills calories. Eat carbs only during the day, stay away from grains, breads, potatoes, corn, and other carbs at night. It worked for me i lost like 30 pounds, and i get to munch on bomb candy anyway cuz i just run it off.
If you drink any kind of booze regularly, stop. In the first 2weeks of not drinking you will loose 10 pounds without even trying.

Anyway, I used to be fat, still kinda am. I am 5'10'' and weigh 280. However, when I went to my Doctor he said that was good cause I have a good muscle to body fat ratio. So just cause I'm fat doesn't mean I'm lazy. I actually have a pretty damn good body underneath all of that.
Another thing, you know that all these fat people would have been considered SEXY in the 17-18th century?! Man, that would have been the time to be fat.:p
Happy Toking :rasta:
I think back then being fat meant you were wealthy enough to afford to eat.Quote:

Eat To Live should be a life motto.
I think many people have the idea of weight loss in the wrong way.
It's not so much about what you eat, but how you burn it off. You could eat a shitload and turn it all towards lean muscle mass with the exception of eating sugary foods. Which is why the best thing you can do for yourself is stop drinking soda. It tastes spendid, but it's shit for your body.
In order to loss weight, you need to learn how to maintain weight. I know some people think going to the gym is vain, and "boring" but you really only have to do it twice a week consistantly, run, bike, swim, even walk a couple times a week and the body starts self-weight maintenance involuntarily, and you don't have to focus so much on watching what you eat, and you feel good in the process. Doing little things like taking the stairs instead of the escalator and what not helps as well. Any activity burns calories, but the fact is the more strenous the activity the more fat you are going to burn.
just like most other things, it's all in the mindset, if you REALLY want to lose that weight you will, you have to motivate yourself, set yourself a min. limit to do durring a day that could help, jogging/walking/other forms of strenous activity, and make sure you meet that qouta everyday, start off small, even 5sit ups before bed is better then nothing, then just keep working up and up. most importantly you have to have patients, it takes alot more time to lose weight then to gain it, so don't expect to see that weight peel off you as fast as it built up in the first place, unless you're just lucky. also, don't let anyone convince you you are anything but beautiful, if you feel ugly, you will be ugly and that's all there is to it...
hey, someone help me out, i have the opposite , i need to gain weight, i eat soo much fucking food but dont ever gain weight, can i switch someone metabolisms?
