I too get lazy with diets. So instead of jumping into a "diet" I started making small changes, like instead of drinking 2 Cokes each day I cut down to 1 per day, I lost 5 lbs pretty quickly, then I cut down to one every other day and I drink regular iced tea (took some getting used to, I usually drank it with tons of sugar) but I lost more from those good choices. I also looked for tips on pinterest and one other thing that helped was "rewarding" myself. What you do is put a quarter in a jar or piggy bank if you don't exercise for 3 days that's fine just don't add money, but because you don't remove money for "failing" to exercise you are more likely to follow through (Been doing this for 3 weeks now I have about $5.00 I think). You can do this with anything and then buy something cute to wear once you have money saved up or reward yourself with a fancy dinner (because once in a while an extra treat makes it worth all the effort)

It's never easy to lose weight. I know. It is way easier to put the weight on. But you have to walk everyday and eat right. No junk food.

I get lazy too. I finally got some hand weights to motivate me some. I've had to make diet changes recently to help with my asthma and bronchitis and in the process I dropped weight. Just make sure it's something you can commit to long term :)

I've been trying to loose weight but it so hard. I do all the right things for a few weeks and loose very little or nothing so I get frustrated and give up. Which certainly doesn't help. Oh well..........

It's all about yourself. Controlling your diet and exercise , you will lose weight.

 :) Dieting doesn't work. Change your lifestyle and eating habits. I did at 65 years old. Best decision I ever made. I get to eat what I want and control what goes in my body.  :wave:

I do too.  But since others are heavier than me they give me a hard time and say oh you can eat anything. No I can't.
I am trying to diet but I am not doing good.  I just made some cupcakes.   :dontknow:  I am gonna give some of them away. lol

I have been trying juicing for the past two weeks and watching what I eat.  I have also been working out. I also purchased a dress smaller than what I usually wear to motivate me! Working out pretty good so far

my weight had been up and down so many times. sometimes i get so discourage about my weight but i just cant get motivated. one time im at my perfect weight and so happy with it then i started eating the food that i missed and gained it back. its too hard to stick to it.

You can eat the same foods if you want, just portion your food. Cut back on what you eat! ! also recommend walking at least 4 times a week. If you
can do that you will be surprised how well it works.
