Some of the weight you put on is water weight.  It sounds counterintuitive, but a good way to lose water weight is to drink MORE water.  Also, eating diuretics like asparagus can help.

Eat and exercise.\n\nMuscles weigh a lot more than fat. Keep in mind it doesn't happen instantly.

I've lost about 40 pounds since September and what i did was cut my calories.  I mostly ate lean-cuisine's and i started to do cardio workouts like running or step classes, stuff like that.  its all about your daily habits though.  do you eat alot of carbs?  maybe you should try a low carb diet, those are good for fast weight loss.  cutting sugar is also good.. use splenda everywhere you would use sugar.  Also the average American usually intakes most of their calories in drinks per day... try to avoid any carbonated drinks, switch to water.. or if you're really craving something carbonated, just drink a diet drink once in awhile.  if you do any of these for a set amount of time, you're going to see results.. its all in how bad you want it and how hard you work at it..  if you have a chubby belly, crunches do work, but you have to realize you need to get rid of the fat before you can see the results of the crunches.. run, dance, do stuff that makes you sweat your belly away !!! good luck with whatever you choose to do!!

Never, ever ingest any pills with the word "Xtreme" on the bottle. Its just common sense.\n\nTry cardio exercise and eating less. No side effects aside from muscles to replace the fat so you look good instead of merely skinny. Find a type of exercise that you actually enjoy! Jogging and tae kwon do are my personal favorites, but you should find your own way to stay fit.

Never heard of this one ,,, interesting ,,, I lost 24 pounds and 2 3/4" in my waist in 30 days. I still have 27 more pounds to go which will be gone before Christmas. I did this on a no diet weight loss plan that is natural and healthy and only requires about 10-15 minutes of your time daily. You do not skip meals or have to eat or buy special foods and I even lost this without exercise. As far as a fat flush plan ... Hmmmmm

I lost like 15 pounds because of the Birth control pill. I know that sounds GREAT but not in my case because now I am too skinny, so right now I'm trying to gain the pounds back. I know most women gain weight instead of losing. I'm going to my GYN to change my pills in two weeks. Enjoy it if is working the way you wanted to!

Coming from someone who just lost 20 lbs. and before would look in the mirror and want to cry. I have some advice. The first thing, stop eating after 7 oclock. Tell your self that you can always eat in the morning, you can eat as much as you want before 3 oclock as long as its HEALTHY and you move around during the day. Drink plenty of water. 50% of americans mistake thirst (dehydration) for hunger and also not drinking enough water can lower your metabolism as little as 3%. Dont go to bed super late, that always makes it worse. Give yourself at least 3 to 4 hours before going to bed after you eat. It will just sit in your stomach and turn to fat if you dont. Also eat healthy foods not junk food, that is the second reason people gain weight. I am a massage therapist and a nutrionist, and am also going to school for my DVM. I went from 150 to 130 (I am 5'8) in 4 months just from not eating late and switching to whole and raw foods. I dont eat fast food at all, maybe once a month at the most. I make my food and take it to work. Try a supermarket like whole foods or trader joes, which or more natural. And try dairy products without growth hormones, which actually contribute to weight gain. Being a naturalist and not eating after 6 or 7 has changed my life. Sure I get lazy, and dont want to work out, but because I have a healthy diet and I can sometimes get away with it. Also a good thing would be to find some kind of hobby or something you love to do and use that to work out, like for instance I love to dance, and I use that as my work out regimen. I dont feel like I am doing it because I have to but because I want to. Good luck. I hope you can use some of my advice. I know its hard but you can do it. Anyone Can. One more thing that might help is buying a scale that calculates your specific body fat, it will help you set realistic goals for your body and where you stand in losing body fat.

Look child.  F that.  Stop trying to be a stick.  You did not gain weight over night and you will not loose it over night.  It will probably take you 3 times and long to loose it as it did to gain it.  I know.  I used to be super skinny, and I an now like a size 14/16.  I would love to loose 40-50 pounds and be a size 8, but I must learn to love myself no matter what weight I am.  I have lost and gained over the years, but I have learned from all success and failure.  You will derail your efforts if you stop eating or start throwing up.  Not only will you loose fat, but you will loose muscle.  You need to build up your muscle first by doing some resistance training so that you will burn more fat while you are at rest.  You may also need to try a diet program like weight watchers or myonlinefooddiary.com.  Remember we gain and loose sometimes because of stress or depression.  You need to heal your inside first before you focus on your outside.  Once you love yourself being big, you will see how many other people love big women too.  Be good, and think about it please.

Make first for sure that you eat a well balanced meal with minimal sweets, and soda pops, and other high sugars. Watch the fatty stuff and things high in saturated fat. The biggest contributor is the amount of calories you consume in a day. Ensure your portion sizes are not above the needed amount to maintain health. Your physical fitness program should include at least 20-30min a day of cardio-vascular exercise that causes you to sweat. You will begin to see a difference over time, but you must be consistent to reap the benefits. Good Luck, and don't worry to much about a little bulge around the waist, just maintain a healthy lifestyle and be happy with yourself. Have a good day! :)

Hey Dale Im in the same predicament I am 260 and Im only 5'8 so I need to loose about 120 pounds.  Now tomorrow I am going to begin with my diet which includes counting calories under 1200 a day but you just need to make sure you eat three healthy meals a day and dont waste them with stupid stuff like sweets or eating fast food. I dont know how much exercise you get a week but try to get some walking, jogging and if possible about 15 minutes of aerobics every other day.  Its good that you quit the soda now make sure drinking lots of water....Good luck maybe we can motivate each other Richtorres_2000 IM

wowsers, thats pretty big, i'd go on a diet, a permanent one, only eat veges and fruit, nothing else, maybe a shnitzel of ham now and agian but thats all. And try getting up off your fat ass now and again and do some exercise, that always helps. :)

I know your hands are full and you don't have time to od much. But, its' good that you are thinking about your weight to stay healthy. Let me tell you what worked for me. My Dr. recommended the Medifast Diet. It teaches you to eat 5-6 small meals a day every 2-3 hours. You lose weight quickly and healthy with very little execise. And, it is convenient you can carry the food with you where ever you go and not break your diet. I lost 26 lbs. so far. If you want more information just e-mail at lovejae247@yahoo.com

I recently lost 40 lbs.  I used to feel compelled to finish what I had on my plate.  Especially if it tasted good!  But STOP when you're satisfied, not when you're full.  Exercise, even if it means parking farther away at the grocery store, or using stairs instead of elevators.  Don't give up & binge on sweets and fatty foods.  Snack on pretzel sticks,which are fat free, raw veggies, or chew gum. \nGood Luck!!\n:)

Diet pills, I don't really feel are going to work for you.  They either suppress appetite or increase metabolism.  You seem to have a very balanced and healthy diet and didn't mention any snacking problems, so an appetite suppressant isn't going to be your best bet.  You have done so much already to increase your metabolism already, that I doubt a pill is going to do much more.  If anything, maybe just drink a bit of green tea eith EGCG.  It'll increase metabolism, but it won't be much, so it's going to be safe.\n\nA few suggestions/questions:\n1. are you lifting weights on all the areas of your body, every work out?  To give your muscles a chance to grow, you need to let them rest at least one day, so you should alternate days or muscle groups each time for it to be effective.  Increased muscle can help speed up your metabolism.\n\n2.  What is your body fat %?  If it is already low, losing more fat is going to be difficult, and you don't want to lose muscle.  Muscle is good!\n\n3.  How do you feel?  Do you like your size and diet?  Is this 10 pound loss more about the number or a size that you are striving for?  If you are happy with your diet and your current size, there is no biggie about these vanity pounds.  \n\n4.  Is this a lifestyle you enjoy?  If you don't already enjoy it very much, limiting yourself more may help you lose the weight, but once you get back to an eating plan that you truly enjoy, you'll just put those 10 pounds right back on.\n\n5.  How varied are your workouts?  If you are doing elliptical for an hour everyday, 6 days a week, your body is going to get used to the repetition and get bored and your workout won't be as affective.\n\n6.  How much are you limiting your calories?  Do not, under any circumstances, consume less than 1200 calories per day.  Since you are so active, I might even say no less than 1500 cals.  Low calories and high activity level could make your body go into shock or survival mode, and it is going to hold on to each pound of fat that you have for dear life.\n\nPlay with your diet a little - try increasing it a little, try 6 meals instead of 5, don't eat after 7 pm, etc.  See if the weight loss changes. \n\nIn the end, if you have tried everything you can, it might be safe to assume that those pounds just aren't meant to come off. :)  Your body knows best, listen to it.\n\nGood luck!
