I'm really trying to lose weight what should I do.

[DarrellShai]

Me too!  Im going to try fruits and vegatables mostly and exercise.  There is no magic pills or potions you could use.  It's good old fashion healthy eating and exercising.  We just have to do it and stay consistant with it and it will come off.  I lost 8 pound so far doing it this way.  I don't believe it luck so I'll say "Good success!"

I am trying to lose weight too, good luck to you. I just ordered some exercise equipment with videos to do so i hope that will help kick start things and now that I start a new job where I'll be sitting all day :/ I need to stay active. i will also be able to bring my own food so that should keep me on better track too. Regular sleep hours and schedule should help too. A good tip is to start small with one small change at a time and stick with it

Hi,
I am doing weight watchers and I have lost 29 pounds.   I have a long way to go but maybe that will help you!!

 I do weight watchers as well and have lost 25 Lbs . It has been a rough summer- But I do not want to start
gaining.

Weight loss is work. One trick that worked for me is not to focus on what you cannot eat but what you can eat. It is easy said than done. If you go
on line you can find some awesome lowfat recipes. Eat a variety of food so you do not become bored.  I can not look at Chick fil a grilled chicken salad. I ate it a few too many times for lunch!

I've always been curious about weight watchers, is the program mostly staying under a certain amount of calorie intake per day?  I went onto the site a year or two ago and it told me I should be eating no more than 1200 calories per day.  I see certain foods that have weight waters points on them (like the progresso potato and bacon soup that I LOVE) so maybe it goes by points rather than calories (?)

I doing this SOUTH BEACH diet right now. It seems to works for me, all you have to do is count carbs. First week i lose 10 lbs. even without exercising and you lose your belly fat on your first week.

I think first try not to stress out about it, I notice when I do that I lose less weight. as for really losing it just just cut your calories down and work out that what worked out the best for me.

my wife and i have done the weight watchers point system, and that worked really well. The main thing is to eat less and move more--pretty simple, but easier said than done!!!

I kinda figured it was something like that.  I was looking at a Medifast commercial the other day where they say they'll ship your food and as long as you stick to a menu you'll lose weight.  I think the bottom line behind all of these weight loss programs is just what you said- eat less (and move more).  I try to eat under a certain amount of calories per day. I went over that limit horribly last night so I'm about to work off the excess calories times 2.  Like I was telling a friend yesterday that's been trying to lose weight for years, as long as you do SOMETHING (different) and keep at it you'll eventually see progress.

Well we have started counting our calories again.  We don't stop ourselves from eating anything we just count how much we eat we go by portions.  You can go online and get calories for everything.  So far I have lost 10 lb in 14 days and trust me I still have long way to go.  We also started walking more.  Its easier if you have a buddy to walk with and if they want to lose weight with you also.  back before my husbands parents got sick we were using this system and my hubby lost 92 lbs and I pulled off 75 in about 6 months.  I kept off all but 5 lbs of what I lost.  You can d o it just make up your mind that your tired of living this way and start the fight we have started out our calorie count at 2,000 and so far we have never made it to that amount yet. Closes I been to it was 1797 total .  We have started eating more fruit and mostly eat it at night for dinner and maybe a little something else.

Get out and walk more, eat less calories, just stay active.

One of the things I've been doing is trying to change my life style rather than having a diet. A diet is something that most people consider temporary and hard to live with. A lifestyle is something that you can live with even after you've lost the weight. I don't really like processed meat, so I through that out the window. I decided to try alternatives to milk such as coconut milk and almond milk. I lost weight and my joints don't hurt as much.

I guess what I am saying is to find out which foods that are healthy is right for you, make sure to have a variety so you don't get tired of them, and have moderation. I don't think that sticking to a completely meat free diet is right for me, but having it rarely is. That might not work for you, you might be better off with more frequent servings of lean meat than is right for me.

I also go on walks. Not as exercise, but as an opportunity to de-stress, use my camera to catch some good pics to share with my friends/family, etc. I go for about an hour. Eventually, I found out that I was covering about 3 miles during that time. I don't put myself on a guilt trip for missing my walks.

First find out what your BMI (Body Mass Index) is and how many calories you can consume each day and lose weight. Then just plan healthy, small meals around that and do a little walking, dancing or any activity you enjoy doing.  This is working for me.  I am 5'1" and weighed 164 (after a week I am now 159 without exercising at all)

It is hard to lose weight!  The main thing is exercise....along with eating healthy.  I cut out alot of carbs....I only eat whole wheat...and I also cut out sugar....That long with at least 30 minutes of exercise 4 times a week will do the trick!!!  After a while all of this becomes a lifestyle and not like a diet plan!
