how can i lose a few lbs?

[maryjanemama]

i have tried to many crash diets. they work for a min, but not to long. I found the only thing that really works is diet and exercise. Start with a 1500 cal a day diet, and try to get as much exercise as u can. dont eat after 5 pm. It also helps if u eat small amounts alil more ofter instead of three big meals. It sounds like a lot of stuff to do, but after a few weeks it will just become routine. I lost all the weight i needed to in only a few months just by following these few things. Now im where i want to be and I can increase my cal in take to about 1800 to stay the same weight. For some of us this is always goin to be a struggle, but if u follow a diet plan that works for u and stick with the exercising u will see a huge difference and feel so much better. Take it from me i have 5 kids in 4 years so i had alot of baby weight to lose. Now its all gone i look great and feel great. I dont even miss all that junk food now. I like being able to go to the store and get what i want. So the lil sacrfices i made were well worth it. Good luck sweety!!

Good for you, Ammie! You should be so proud of yourself.

Like most ppl have said, moderation, and movement. I'm also big on vitamins because they help me with energy. The munchies are the biggest problem I face, personally, but I chew a lot of gum. I also have to agree with Euphoric about going meatless but too much too soon will be overwelming, so stick with cutting down your portions and you HAVE to excercise. Really watch what you eat. Have you ever written everything down that you eat in a day? I know that sounds like a homework assignment but do it and you'll be amazed by all of the extra stuff you consume that your body just does not need.

Later on, when you have more control over yourself, you can decide if veggy life is for you. Lots of luck and keep us posted. If you feel comfortable with it, you should post your progress here and we'll keep on your ass to help you succeed.

I'd have to say the best advice I can give you in losing weight is:

Don't take advice from abuncha stoners on a website where said stoners are unknown strangers.

And my second best advice I can give you:

Become a crackhead. Nobody's ever seen a fat crackhead. That's because there aren't any.

Hi

Cut the coke,whole milk,sugur,and any carbs. Work out as much as you can,,wen down the gym you need to be sweating as much as possible so loads of light weights and do as many reps as poss.. plus try work out in a jumper/pull over, then wen finnished your work out go for a very hot sauna.

Peace n good luck,,loosing weight is hard work and lots of will power

Want a medal, Mr. David Wolfe?
I'll just watch you run and wave to you from inside the steakhouse. Then I'll turn my attention back to the bacon-wrapped filet mignon.


To those who said water, I agree completely. Drinking plenty of water is very, very good for the body. Of course that in itself won't help you lose weight, but it is still very healthy.

[Proof]

Go on a weight watchers website or something, i no that have a weight watchers in the UK so u may be able to find a site or something ?

hi mole 2K4. Sorry about that first response. I went camping May 1st 2005 because I was tired of carrying around 50 extra pounds. By July I got rid of all of it plus. I drank water every day, I got 24/7 fresh air and there was always something to walk and walk and walk to and it was very much like totally free. No walls, no tv, no toilet...but heck it worked! Camping primative style is best. We huminz tend to get spoiled easy. Hope you had success in the weight loss endeavor. I've been back indoors since December of 2005 and it has slowly been returning...you know, that three letter f word. So, I've been using Creatine for muscle food, oatmeal every morning, fix it up with trail mix and other fun nibbles and above all, drink water. Sometimes plain water gets boring, so beef it up with nutritional dry juice. I found a dry nutritional juice and my finger nails grew like a vampire. I was in a sand storm in my car and didn't break one nail.

hi Mole2K4. Was browsing through and noticed what a crummy response I gave to your weightloss concern. Here's my personal solution. I went camping May 1st of 2005. I got tired of lugging 50 pounds of excess and decided nothing was going to work (off the counter) but good old fashioned camping might be the answer. It was. I dropped the 50 and then a few more. I believe in vitamins for the energy and supplement from uninformed eating, and drink Creatine to feed my muscles,,the only downside about Creatine is you must drink at least 64 oz of water daily and never stop drinking it once you've become accustomed to it. I eat oatmeal every day because it brings the cholesteral down, and I put nifty nibbles such as trail mixes into it because oatmeal is bla and needs things. Oh, and the camping helped because I was too busy exploring to jonz for tv, movies and other woozee indoor activities. I've been back indoors since December 2005 and it's December 2006 for one more day, and the excess is slowly, and sneakily returning. Falling into bad habits again. We humans can get spoiled so very quickly, huh? Good luck and never give up. A friend in the fat fight, Maxine
