I need a diet plan that is right for me. I am 180 lbs and I want to loose 40lbs by May. What do I do?

I am in the same boat. I have already lost 5 pounds in a little less than a week and I am stepping it up a notch. What I am doing is watching and counting calories and carbs. Less than 180g of carbs and less than 1500 calories. Drink PLENTY of water. I am consuming 64 oz. of water now. I exercise 3 times a week with Richard Simmons exercise tape. The water helps fill you up. If you would like we can keep in touch and work on it together. It helps to have someone to talk to about the ups and downs of dieting and someone to share with WHEN you reach your goal. My email address is eeyore28602@yahoo.com if you wanna keep in touch about it. Hope this helps !!! Casey

Don't think of it as a diet rather a healthy eating plan for life. Initially to lose weight you need to increase intensity but after your desired weight is achieved you can go into maintenance mode. It has worked for me and all my friends here is the plan we all follow and live happily by, good luck. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. Stop making some major mistakes wake up earlier and get active earlier your metabolism is sluggish and needs to be woken up this is half your problem. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - multigrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

I don't understand, you weighed 369lbs and now your at 250lbs. That is fantastic weight loss.  Why are you an invalid?  What can't you do at 250?  It sounds like you have plateaued. Meaning no matter what you do you cant loose any more weight.  That might be only temporary Your body is adjusting and you don't want your Body to start thinking it is starving.  Can you get to a pool?  Water exercises even just walking in it can really keep the calories burning and save your joints.  You might go to an allergist and see if you have an allergy to any of the food you eat.  Many obese people have allergies to wheat and or corn.  Once they stop eating the foods that are allergens they began to loose weight.  You have done a great thing loosing all that weight. Don't give up.

Expect it to take 2-3 months to loose that much weight.  Be sure that you actually need to loose that much weight by discussing the issue with your physician.  Then find an exercise routine you can stick to and eat a healthy diet low in fat and high in fruits and vegetables.  Eat low fat meats and fish.  Drink lots of water.\n\nYou'll only loose weight if you burn more calories than you take in.

It’s actually very easy to lose weight if you follow my weight loss tips.* Be in right frame of mindBefore you can start any diet program you need to be in the right frame of mind. If you do not feel good about yourself you probably will not want to choose healthy foods. You cannot expect the act of going on a diet to make you feel better about yourself. The only way you can choose to eat a healthy diet to lose weight is if you have a positive self-image.* Eat whole foodTop weight loss tipsEat whole foods that are as natural as possible. When you eat whole foods that are full of nutrients your body will know how much to eat and how much not to eat. You do not have to count calories because your body is a wonderful machine.* Eat fresh fruitEat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day. Choose whatever type of fruit is in season.* Drink enough waterDrink the best weight loss supplement known to man, water. Most people do not know the difference from being hungry for food or thirsty for water. A great deal of times people eat when they should drink. Most likely you will not feel as hungry if you are getting enough water. You will be satisfying the thirst, which is confused for hunger. Water also helps you digest food better. Drinking water before you eat will help fill you up.* Always chew your foodAlways chew your food well. Chewing your food well will ensure that you get the most nutrients out of your food. Getting the most nutrients will satisfy your body therefore you will eat less. Another benefit of chewing well is that it helps aid in digestion.* Take small mealsEat small, frequent meals in a day. Large meals tax your digestion system, making it work harder. Taking too much time in between meals makes you hungrier for the next meal.* Include protein at mealInclude good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt.* Shut off TV while eatingShut off the TV whenever you eat – that includes meals and snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions when we snack in front of

The first thing to do is prepare a healthy meal plan that you will be able to stick with.  Do not starve yourself, that doesn't work. Eat healthy. Embark on an exercise program and work out at least an hour 4 or more days a week. Do a combination of yoga, weight lifting, aerobics and now that the weather is warming up, swimming. Avoid eating meat and cut out sugars especially sodas - whether they are diet or not.  Drinks lots of water and try and sleep at least 7 hours a night. I lost 10 pounds in 2 months of becoming a vegetarian and I wasn't even trying! (I eat wild fish sometimes). Let me know how it goes. I like to encourage people because I was once overweight.

I am a big believer in Weight Watchers. It is a healthy diet that doesn't actually deny you anything. You can eat anything you want - you just have to watch portion size and sometimes eating that cheeseburger at a picnic for lunch means eating a salad for dinner.\n\nIn a healthy diet you loose probably about 5 to 10 pounds for the first couple of weeks. Then as your metabolism stabilizes you start to level out and only loose about 3 pounds a week. But loosing weight this way is healthy and more likely to stay off. Fad diets might help you loose quicker, but you are more likely to gain that weight back.

The only "diet" (I hate that word) plan that has worked for me is lots of walking. I try to walk most places and eat mostly fresh foods. Lots of fruits and vegies. Try not to eat fast-food. Even the fast-food salads contain lots of fat and calories. If you get hungry, drink some water and eat something healthy.(fruits and vegies) When I eat out, I try to pick something that is halfway healthy and will taste good. The worst thing about being on a diet is having to act like you're on a diet. That is definately not motivating. Oh, and drinking lots of water helps keep you hydrated and it also flushes all sorts of things out of your body. Most people are not sucussful with any diet unless they're getting lots of water. At least 8 eight fl. oz a day. That's about 2 liters. Good luck!

Change your Army physical date until you loose the weight in a slow and healthy way.\n\nGoing Atkins is one way, but Atkins isn't all that good for you. You miss out on vital fiber in your diet.

Why do you want to weigh 80 lbs. Your weight and height right now sounds perfect. You could actually model. You should talk to a counselor or something, wanting to loose that much weight is pretty unhealthy.
