Whats your best weight loss tip? -

Eat 6 small healthy (whole wheat, fruit, veggies, and lean meat) meals a day, get 30 minutes of cardio 4-6 days a week, 30 minutes of weight training 2-3 days a week, drink plenty of water, take vitamins, get plenty of rest at night, no carbs past 4:00 pm, and try not to eat after 7:00 pm. It is that simple. Its not a diet, it is having a healthy lifestyle.

All of these tips are great. I know it is hard to lose. Another tip is having support from your friends and family really helps.Put pictures and notes on your fridge to remind you to stay on track. Green tea is also good to help curb your appetite and it is so healthy for you. There are so many ideas you just have to find the right one for you and stick with it. Good Luck.

i was at 150 lbs, and now im at 135 lbs! all i did was cut out soda, fast food, junk foods, and snacking! i thought i was gonna die :) but it was SO worth it in the end. I substituted soda and juices with water and tea w/ sweet n low or splenda. Doing a little exercise in the evening or am helped a lot too.

Eat healthy. If you like sports, try soccer. it will get your heart beating!

I have always been told that it doesn t matter how much you eat/don t eat or even what you eat, though you can t really eat fatty foods and expect to lose weight, but its the amount of exercise you do that matters. So even if you just take an extra 20 minutes a day to walk around the block or take the long way into work from the parking lot, every little bit helps to burn extra calories.

Walking really works,I weigh 230 pds. i joined the YMCA and have been walking on tread mill and lift weights I lost 13pds.in a week and a half. exercise makes you not hungry helps lift your spirit s depression DRINK LOTS of WATER, it washes fat out of your body and controls hunger I weighed 255pds. several years back and lost down to 125pds. taking diet pills, kept it off 4yrs. gained it back after being off pills!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pills are not the answer!!! WATER WALK EVERY DAY WILL WORK

Eat less..Exercise more....Fads,pills and starvation diets do not work. Its called self control.Conquer the urge to eat and lay around on the couch....Get active...

Easy calories in vs calories out.

try to decrease eating thing in it sugar. run and play sport everyday, also try to eat a proper healthy meals and keep away from fast food.

The best diet is a low carb diet. You eat no more than 65 carbs a day. Watch your fat intake as well. I lost 17 lbs in a short amount of time the first time I went on a low carb diet. It works! You can go to Barnes and Nobel and get a carb book that shows what foods have what carbs and how many they have. You can also buy low carb or no carb candy now for in between meals!

Go vegetarian. My husband dropped 50 lbs really fast, I dropped 15. It s amazing. All you have to do is avoid beef, pork, chicken and fish and eat lots of veggies. Even if you don t believe in the philosophy, you can loose the weight and go back to meat later with a new array of recipes and things to eat.

If you drink alcohol, quit drinking. The weight falls off so much faster.

when you think you want to eat drink a glass, then eat !!!!!

eat the same food u allways eat, just eat less ;)

Eat as much salad as you want with lowfat dressing, a multi vit and lots of water.

Ketosis. Our body puts on weight to store excess energy for later. Ketosis is the other side of the coin (ie the body s switch to draw on fat reserves.) see www.tonyferguson.com

I joined weight watchers a year ago March an lost 69lbs.they will help you and its not a diet...Good luck hun!

go backpacking round europe for 3 months

when u see something like chocolate or potato chips, grab a apple or something instead, get atleast 30 minutes of excercise each day, drink lots of fluids, more like water, keeps away from pop, or very thick juices, and eat healthy food, i luv chicken do u?

I know you asked for a tip, singular, meaning one. I am sharing with you my experiences so far with weight loss. My best tips...limit alcohol and sugar intake. I lost 8 lbs in one week by just doing that! Always, drink plenty of water, at least 8 glasses (I drink 10 throughout the day), eat plenty of fruits and vegetables (5 servings), and read the nutritional information on foods. A lot of foods have a lot of fat and sodium, which makes you retain a lot of water and weight. I ve been sticking to the old standbys like yogurt, raisins, fruit to snack on, and eating normal stuff but smaller portions. So far, I ve lost 17 lbs in 5 weeks, because some days are better than others...it really works for me. Right now, I am devoting at least 1 hour of exercise 3 days a week. I ll just ride a stationary bike for a half-hour and then get on the cross-trainer. Lately, I ve been doing 2 hours in the gym just to test myself and find my personal endurance. You don t want to overdo a workout, but you don t want one that is too simple either. Good luck with everything!

When I lost weight for my wedding I kept a huge pot of vegetable soup in the refrigerator. I would eat that before meals and when I got hungry between meals, because it is nutritious but low in calories and fat. I used the weight watchers recipe for the soup.

SlimUp is the answer. Its a weight maintenance pill

be a lot patien !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is from experience, because last year I was a bit...big and I wanted to slim down so all it took was making healthy choices (not starving yourself) an occasional burger is ok ; ). But it also takes exercise dicipline goals and time. It won t happen instantly. Just pick up a fun sport do it regularly, stay with it and make healthy choices. And try to squeeze in mini exercises like parker further from the destination and what not trust me it works and it took me about half a year.

Eat less and work out. There are no short cuts. Prepare, prepare, prepare. Plan your menus, schedule when you work outs. Do not get discouraged.

Reduce eating and exercise.

Keep away from carbonated drinks as soda. Drink more water, and go out for a little walk at least everyday, to get your blood flowing.

Just to be different than your standard answers here, I d say do not focus on the scale. We all know you have to diet, exercise, and commit to what you are doing in order to gain lasting results for weight loss.My tip is to do the things you need to do and don t let the scale rule your behavior. It will only frustrate you, give you false hope, and keep you stressed and focused on that number of pounds.Commit to what you re doing and do the things you know you have to. Your body WILL respond and you WILL lose weight. Make the scale a secondary concern and something you use infrequently to monitor your progress.

I am doing it right now. I am a diabetic and I am only eating 2 carbohydrate servings per meal. You divide your plate into quarters, one quarter has the 2 servings of carbohydrate, another quarter has a lean protein and the other 2 quarters are vegetables(not potatoes, pumpkin, sweet potato, corn as they are all carbohydrates). This gives the body enough glucose to function, protein to prevent hunger and vegetables as fibre to assist the body in digestion, I have lost a lot of weight. Good luck.

Eat healthy and excersise. The best way. Have a dog? Walk it everyday after dinner and in the morning.

to get a pair of jeans/dress that you really love but are small for you by a size or two and hang it in your room to where you can see it and when you feel like stuffing yourself just rember how it would feel to fit in the jeans/dress and it gives you something to look forward to

i want to lose 14.3 pounds fast how can i go about this? please give me your weight loss tips. my stats are female 5 8 and about 130 pounds weith clothes and shoes on. this is a serious question please help

It is feasible to lose weight fast but you should be realistic and take on board that if you lose weight rapidly then you will without doubt put it all back on again just as rapidly. I lost 10 pounds for the last month when I had a wedding to attend, and I did it by following the tips given on the website in the box below.

ride a bike, push ups, crunches,swim, and if possible get involved in an active sport!

Can somebody please help me on some weight loss tips? -

I m sick and tired of feeling pudgy and crappy...I m currently 5 6 175lbs..i d like to lose 30-40 pounds...actually, i kindve have a good idea what to do, but i just dont want to screw it up... for instance, a month ago i tried the atkins diet ..while i loved the idea of eating meat, cheese and eggs... after about the first week i felt so carbohydrate deprived and drained, i didnt even make it half way through the first phase! the bottom line is, i dont like low carb diets, low sugar diets or low fat diets...i like a little bit of variety in my diet, something from everything... so heres my main question...if i use a diet consisting of turkey, chicken, fish, egg whites, fat free cheese, oatmeal, fruits, veggies, nuts, whole wheat bread, whole grain rice and keep it in a calorie deficit and exercise 5-6 days a week will i lose weight? the real thing im worried about is the whole wheat bread and rice..i wouldnt eat much at all...just 2 slices of bread on a sandwich for lunch and a half a cup of brown rice during dinner...thats all

well maybe diets just aren t for you...i would try just eating small meals throughout the day and making sure that they re proportioned to that of the food pyramid (so your getting what you re supposed to be getting). the timing is also important, like dont eat at least two hours before you sleep since you wont be awake to burn off those caloriesfinally, go on walks or just do things that you like which requires you to move a little, doesn t have to be anything too strenuous. just as long as you enjoy the activity

Good weight loss tips 4 wedding in 5 months!? -

I m getting married August 11th and am trying to lose as much weight as possible before then. I also just quit smoking last week so I m scared I m going to gain more. I ve been walking everyday and I feel like nothing is happening. Just wondered if anyone had any helpful tips.

im getting married in july and im trying to lose weight as well. i just bought a little device from ***** that i clip onto my belt and it counts my calories that im burning all day long. So if i drink a breakfast skake and its 190 calories, i will try to walk off more than that shake in calories.. it only cost about 30 dollars and it was totally worth it. i wear it all day long and it pushes me to move more during the day, i get up to get more things and i take the longer way when walking places at work. also dont eat after about 7pm cause its hard to burn those calories. also eat foods that have slow burning carbs in them like oatmeal. oatmeal makes you feel full for a longer time so your not as hungry all day long. also eat small meals but more meals each day. so instead of 3 big meals eat about 5 small meals all day. lots of protein, no fried foods, and very very good luck!!!

lots of water!! good for you trying to do it the right way! also try tons of fruit and veg, and soup before larger meals. Best of Luck!

the first thing in the morning have a drinkable hot glass of water to which the juice of a whole lemon is added. break u r meals into 6 meals ,have bare minimum of anytjing sweet no colas or processed drinks,have whole fruits instead of juices do not drink water during meals have it half an hour later and honey EXERCISE join a gym or something

cut out all soda, drink lots of water.... stop eating 2 hours b4 bedtime... do the elliptical like 4 days a week. eats lots of chicken and veggies, and high protein breakfast.

How much weight are you trying to lose? The general rule is eat less, exercise more. Drink plenty of water, concentrate on fruits and vegetables and lean protein. High fiber foods help. Stay away from fatty foods, and processed foods, cakes, cookies, candy, chips, etc.

atkins. i lost 20 lbs countless inches in just over one month. it works amazing...and lots and lots of water. good luck! you can do it!

Honestly, walk longer and faster on your walks. Then start jogging for as long as you can, with intervals of walking until your heart rate returns to normal. You ll be able to jog longer each day. Eventually, try to jog for a few miles daily without stopping. It is the best way to do it; you can drop 20 lbs in a couple of months pretty easily (without a lot of change in eating habits).

Exercises, Exercises(cardio,swimming,jogging,spinni�� arm exercises, crunches, back exercises, some yoga or belly dancing) drink plenty of water, get a seaweed wrap, drink plenty of milk and eat healthy and proper portions of food. Congrates! on the engagement and pending wedding. Go on and wow them.

walking doesn t always help you loose WEIGHT to begin with. Yes you will start loosing weight with walking. You need to measure yourself when it comes to walking. You will loose lots of inches. Walking builds muscle which weighs more but it is smaller. My friend lost around 80 lbs with a diebetic diet. Mostly she had fruits like grapes and banana s for breakfast, she did not eat more than 45 carbs for each of her meals, not more than 15 carbs for each of her snacks. She would eat more often during the day which kept her full but with the small snacks she burned them off just by doing normal things. Eating 3 regular meals and 3 snacks is a good start. You can buy those 100 cal snacks which are really good and if you eat often you will be full. Do lots of fruit just stay away from the melons and stuff like that because they have lots of carbs. You can get a smaller plate for your 3 main meals.Your body stores anything over 45 carbs. So you would gain weight by eating anymore than your body needs to function. Don t starve yourself your body stores more food that way because it thinks it may not get any more nutrition for a long time. Want to thin down your legs, thighs and hinney area? Do squats. Start with small squats as far as you can go and still be straight. Do lots of them throughout the day. You will see you can start doing more and more. You will be able to squat further down over time. This will help you get into smaller pants. Happy loosing..

I started a Cardio kickboxing class. It s a 10 week bootcamp course. Highly recommend it!

Congratulations, first off!!! Not to scare you, but when you quit smoking, if does cause you to gain weight. I gained close to 20 lbs. SUCKS! But, it s awesome you quit smoking. You re doing the right thing though. Run or walk, exercise and don t eat a whole lot and drink lots of water. Good Luck!

luv that elliptical. got one stationed in the living room. so when i start to pass thru to the kitchen i hop on. wedding also is in 5 months working on those 20lbs good luck
