First of all, it is important not to think that the diet is too restricitve. Mental acceptance of the diet is very important, otherwise you will not keept it. And combine it with fitness or dancing (I take Oriental dance classes, and it is even better than fitness).

To cut straight to the point...DIETS DON'T WORK !!! In order for you to lose weight you need ro change your lifestyle, period. If you want to lose the weight & KEEP IT OFF (which is the most important) of course u have to exercise & eat right BUT water is the key.\n\nDrinking the 8 glasses a day is not enough, atleast it isn't for me. I drink 24oz of bottles of water every hour almost. Not only does water flush out your system but it also gives you energy without harmful pills. Also You may want to eat lots of chicken & fish plus you can have bread as carbs but not to much. \n\nThe misconception about weight loss (especially for women) is to skip meals or not eat BUT in doing so you actually do more harm than good, because your body will store the fat rather than release it. \n\nIf you really want to lose weight you have to eat. I eat 5 times a day & I am in perfect shape for my height, age & body type (5'9, early 20's & 145lbs). Just drink your water, do some cardio, focus on your problem areas and again dont forget to eat. If you starve yourself the only thing you lose is your mind. OH ! & limit your quantities. When your body says you are full, listen to it & dont over induldge.\n\n(EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT BUT THIS MAY WORK FOR YOU)\n\nMy Daily Food schedule includes: \n\n*Note this is a life-style I've have adapted to NOT a diet\n\nBREAKFAST is\n- 1 serving oat, wheat or bran cereal\n- 1 medium orange or apple\n- 1 cup skim milk over my cereal (tastes the same as regular milk to me) \n- 1 whole wheat piece of toast (dry)\n\nLUNCH is\n- 1 entree of whatever I want (limited portions)\n- 1 medium orange or apple\n- spinach salad OR mixed salad greens with non fat dressing & 1 egg for protein\n\nTHE AFTERNOON SNACK is\n- large orange or apple\n\nDINNER is \n- 1 entree of whatever I want (limited portions) \n- 2 cups of fresh veggies\n- spinach salad OR mixed salad greens with non fat dressing & 1 egg for protein\n\nDessert\n-1 small serving of whatever I want\n\nAND TONS OF WATER THROUGH OUT THE DAY!!!\n\nI personally drink over 12 to 13, 24oz bottles of water throughout my normal day because it makes u feel better after you get used to it plus ur not "clogged up". Anyway, I hope I could be of some help to you & I hope you lose those unwanted pounds & keep them off...& BTW, STAY AWAY FROM FAD DIETS!!! THEY NEVER WORK!!!

A great way to lose weight is to incorporate exercise into the patterns of your life. That is . . . take the stairs when you get the chance.  Walk to the store or the metro.  Make a habit of doing a "counter-pushup" every time you go to the fridge.  Quick situps as you wait for the microwave. (Believe it or not, I do this.) It's got to be part of your life for you to continue to do it.\n\nPlaying with what you eat is also helpful.  Try new recipes (lots of sites online!) and Cooking Light is a good way to find light recipes.  More vegetables, fresher ingredients. . . you may find it's fun to experiment with healthier food.\n\nHate to say it, but losing weight takes work and dedication.  You've got to consciously think about what your life looks like now, how you can change.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if your trying to lose weight, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:\n\n*1) Burn more calories then your consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity.

Weight Watchers has the most effective plan for losing weight.  I would contact them.  Most of the other plans are overpriced and do not have good results.

You are smart to avoid pills because there is no pill that will effectively help you lose weight and keep it off! \n\nYou don't provide a lot of details as far as how much time you have for exercise, what your current diet is like, etc. but generally speaking, here are some tips to get you started.\n\nDetermine how many calories you should be consuming per day to meet your goals. I have provided a link below to an article that will help you determine this. That same article will also help you determine how to effectively reduce your caloric intake to meet those goals. It's a great article!\n\nAfter you know your "caloric number," you'll want to divide that number by 5. That is how many calories you should be consuming 5 times per day.\n\nAs mentioned above, eat 5 times per day - eating every 3 hours or so. \n\nDrink at least 8 glasses of water per day.\n\nInclude a lean protein source with every meal and try to include as many low glycemic carbohydrates with each meal (i.e. vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, etc.)\n\nThrow out all junk foods, soda, alcohol, etc. for now. \n\nAllow yourself ONE cheat MEAL per week. \n\nExercise at least 4-5 times per week and 6 days would be ideal. Each exercise session should last at least 20 minutes and during that 20 mintues, keep your heart rate in the "weight loss zone." I've provided a link below to another article on this subject. For now, concentrate on cardio exercises but by all means start strength training as well. \n\nThese tips, I promise, will get you to your goals. You'll notice the links I've provided are from my Men's Fitness site, but even as a woman, these same "rules" apply! If you have any questions, drop me an email.  Best of luck to you!

Cut off your head!\n\nThe only good and safe way to lose weight is a reasonable diet and regular aerobic exercise.  Your goal should be to lose about 1 kg (2 pounds) a week and KEEP it off for the rest of your life.  Extreme weight loss in a short time will only set you up to gain it all back and more.  That's why they call it yo-yo dieting.

I think the best way you could lose weight and keep it off, is to sit down, think about what you eat, and don't eliminate it, but cut down on your proportions. If you like hamburgers, instead of eating two, eat one, or instead of one eat a half. Snack in smaller amounts, along with exercise. That way you condition your body to be satisfied with less, exercise to take off what you have, and mentally deny nothing so that the diet stays and is not unhealthy.

Just use the weight watchers point system, that should take care of everything.  Lots of fruits and vegetables (I ate carrots like it was going out of style).  Pick what works for you but don't go over your allotment of points per day/week.\n\nWeight watchers is the ONLY system proven to help people lose weight.

If you make a few life style changes you should be able to lose the weight within the time frame you have set for yourself.  This is a system that has worked well for me and several friends have also been successful with it.\n\n1. Eat three nutritious meals and three snacks everyday. Cut out junk food. You probably need about 1500 to 1800 calories a day.  Many people make the mistake of not eating enough when they try to lose weight and then become discouraged.\n\n2. Drink lots of water - at least 8 big glasses as day.  Lots of water is essential.  Stop drinking soda and other drinks with useless calories.  Eat fresh fruit instead of fruit juices - the juices are very high in calories.\n\n3. Begin a simple weight lifting program at home or at a gym. Ordinary household items (tins of soup, for example) can actually serve as weights for beginners.  Buy yourself a good weight lifting book for women.  Actually the "dummies" series of books has done a rather good one.\n\n4. Walk, walk, walk.  Buy yourself a pedometer and aim for 10,000 steps a day.\n\n5. Record everything you eat and all your exercise to make sure you have a "calorie deficit". Two of the sites I've included will help you do that.  Basically buring more calories than you take in leads to weight loss.  You need a deficit of 3500 calories to lose one pound.\n\n6. If you drive, do less of it and park at the back of the parking lot instead of close to the door. Always use stairs - never the elevator or escalator.\n\n7. A mini stepper is an easy piece to equipment to have at home and gives great results. I bought mine at a second hand store for $4.  even if you use it for a minute or two several times a day it can make a big difference.\n\nI hope these thoughts help. You can do this.  Good luck with it.

Losing weight is easy: Just eat less. Keeping it off is hard. This involves a life style change. And exercise needs to be part of it. There is nothing hard about exercise. Just go out for a walk. You don't have to run. Just walk. Walk around the block. Then, after a while, 2 blocks. Then work up to 3 blocks. \n\nAnd while your exercising, eat a little less and eat healthy. Cut back on the calories, starting with about 200 calories less than you eat now. Give it a couple weeks, and if that is not working, cut back another 100 to 200 calories. The calories you eat should come from mostly proteins and good carbs. Cut back (or cut out) refined sugars and fatty foods - especially trans-fat.

First and foremost thing is to check the amount of calories you intake daily. Try to maintain your calorie level possibly to 1500. Stop taking excessive foods or foods with high calorie levels like choclates, ice creams or any form of sweets. \nWorkout daily for 2-3 hours a day--a brisk walk or a Gym--though it will induce your body system to eat more--eat less.\nAvoid junk foods and eat normally with less oily stuff foods. \nThis will help you to reduce some amount of weight not a drastic amount, which is not advisable..

Do a colon cleansing, then drink lots of water while avoiding red meat, poultry skin, dark meat of chicken or turkey (avoid these, white meat is okay), eat five times as many greens without butter or adding salt.  To lose weight very fast you must avoid all oils, salts, fats and eat more, yes more, frequently.  Eat a small meal every two to three hours avoiding the above no no's, while drinking water only.  Also avoid caffine and fruit juice, bread, etc. and if you possibly can walk up to 45 minutes everyday.  Stop eating two to three hours before going to bed.\n\nThis should remove ten pounds in two weeks.  Good luck.
