Eat less but more often....and exercise more.  Walking is low stress and easy and effective but you must WALK not just stroll.

A wise man once said, "The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The next best WORD is NOW." I think if you start now instead of looking for the best way to lose weight you'll never get started. The best way for me is drink lots of water, eat smaller portion of my meals and do walking, swimming(if you have back ache or other joint limitations.) I usually do 10 minute work out from "Hasfit" from youtube.

Changing your eating habits, and eating healthy will help. Drinking more water also helps.

Hmm before actually trying to lose weight you should prepare your body for it by trying to detox for at least a week by eating nothing but fruits and veggies. Then change your eating habbits to bad to good but don't cut out carb's totally like some people do that would put you risk for diabetus if you cut all or most. You could try several small meals a day that has helped some or you could try going with the meals you have now but making them smaller or substituting a healthy  item for a bad with that meal. Say like if you like bacon and still want bacon go with turkey bacon its more healthier . If you can try to go for a 30 minute walk a day. Don't buy prepackaged food always make fresh because the extra calories you can lose because of it. IF you don't like exercise then do house work that will be your exercise pretty much. When going to the grocery store or any store choose a parking space that's a little more away from the entrance so you can get more exercise that way to . Drink plenty of water and thats all i have lol

I have been trying to lose weight.  I have gained about 10 pounds since last year.  I have lost 5 pounds of it so far and going to get more off before long.  I hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.

I think that, first of all, you have to determine whether weight loss is what you want to achieve or if looking better and feeling better is what your ultimate goal is. You can starve yourself and lose all kinds of weight but still have a less than desirable body ie pot belly, love handles, cottage cheese thighs. Personally I like to look good so I combine three days of work out, three days of cardiovascular work out and a healthy diet of six average sized meals per day with a cheat day on Sundays.  The meals should be a palm sized portion of protein and another palm sized portion of carbohydrates along with some vegetables.

Best thing to do when trying to lose weight is start off small.. Your body is acclemated to your daily routine already.. SO if you start off small then it will be acclemated to the new routine and will better your results.. By starting off small i mean.. Replacing a piece of junkfood or a midday snack with something healthy maybe an apple.. Then you can start with portion control.. Maybe smaller portions.. Of what you are eating already.. When trying to lose weight it is important to remember your body also needs the fats and protein that sometimes diets just do not give your body.. Which is another main reason diets DO not work.. That and lack of commitment.. No matter what you take or try.. If you are not commited to it.. It will not work.. That is a fact... You can also try to start a exersize or two before or after you wake up... It's the easiest way to get your body use to something the fastest without doing it all at once and straining muscles in your body.. :D I'm no expert but that's how i think most people end up giving up on diets and exersizing all together.. Good luck on losing weight!

Best advice I've ever received (and I've probably posted about it before) is; take your weight and divide it in 2.  The answer you get is the amount of ounces in water you should drink daily.  To do this drink one bottle of water before and during each meal.  After about 3 days trips to the bathroom shorten.

Different food programs work well for different people.  Find a way to maintain your lean body mass and get your nutrients so you won't lose your health at the same time that you're losing weight.

Have a great day!

It is all about portion control, and drinking enough water.

Don't think so hard on it, just do it. Just eat a little less everyday and just move. Even if that moving is just taking the stairs instead of the elevator and parking farther away from the store. Just do it. Oh and drink more water and get enough sleep.
