hun I SWEAR if you eat 6 SMALL meals a day you will lose more weight than one meal a day. I did it for 4 months and lost almost 30 pounds. it highers your metabolism.\n\nI used to eat only i meal a day too. and no junk food. no fast food. no pop. I still cut out all the bad stuff but I eat a bunch of tiny meals (or parts of healthy meals) thru the day. When you only eat once a day your body stores more of what you eat because it goes into starvation mode, knowing it isn't going to get the nutrients it needs. You lose MUSCLE and possibly even bone density later in life due to calcium and other minerals missing from your diet, you do not lose fat. When you start to eat the tiny meals, you will actually look more toned because muscle looks a lot better than fat. And muscle mass makes you burn more calories--Even at rest (sleeping!)\n\nGood luck I know it is a very very hard thing to start, and then it gets hard again in the middle, but it is sooo worth it to feel good about the way you look. This is the first time in my life I was READY to wear my summer clothes! I am down to a size 3 or 5 and I too have had a child and am married. My daughter is almost 2 though, so give yourself time! :) Another thing that helped me was writing doown every single bite and drink I took thru the day--you may, like me, find yourself leaving stuff out on purpose! Then you will see, "wow I did not realize I was making such unhealthy choices" or "wow I always eat that, maybe I should add more veggies instead...or more lean meat, or more whatever-just healthier options will do." You dont have to give up anything besides the junkiest foods, for the stuff you cant live without, go for the low calories or "light" or "reduced fat" varieties. (Example: I can not live without crackers and peanut butter (yep I am an adult...) so I have switched to wheat crackers or reduced fat reg. crackers and peanut butter...even that small of a change is a good step..."  (i hate reduced fat peanut butter, and if I tried to cut it out of my diet, I know I would cheat, I love REAL peanut butter and thats okay bc i made changes in other areas) see? Okay now go get started. Good LUCK!!! :)

1. Start with a positive attitude.\n2. Research and access your body to see if you really need to lose weight or just tone up.\n3. Have a realistic goal. Aim for 1-2 lbs. per week.\n4. Set up a basic diet of fruits, veggies, lean meats and a little dairy. Drink lots of water. Decide on how many calorires you need in a day and try to stay within the max....but at least eat 1200 to 1400 a day.\n5 Set up an exercise program...walking is good. Do this daily or every other day.\n6. Add in some weight bearing exercises to help tone up your muscles.\n7. Only weigh yourself once a week or once a month. Don't get caught up in the numbers... \n8. Don't give up.\n\nBottom line: you have to burn more calories than you take in.

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.

You probably know that virtually hundreds of different fad diets, weight-loss programs and outright scams promise quick and easy weight loss. But the foundation of every successful weight-loss program still remains a healthy diet combined with exercise. You must make permanent changes in your lifestyle and health habits to lose significant weight and keep it off.\n\nHow do you make those permanent changes? Follow these six strategies.\n\n\n1. Make a commitment\n\nPermanent weight loss takes time and effort. It requires concentration and a lifelong commitment. Make sure that you're ready to make the necessary permanent changes and that you do so for the right reasons.\n\nNo one else can make you lose weight. In fact, external pressure — often from people closest to you — may make matters worse. You must undertake diet and exercise changes to please yourself.\n\nAs you're planning new weight-related lifestyle changes, try to resolve any other problems in your life. It takes considerable mental and physical energy to change your habits. So make sure you aren't distracted by other major life issues, such as marital or financial problems. Timing is key to success. Ask yourself if you're ready to take on the challenges of serious weight loss.\n\nKeep in mind that no matter how prepared you may be, you'll occasionally overeat or eat foods that you should avoid. Rather than let a setback derail your efforts, accept that it happened and get back on track. Don't expect perfection — and never give up.\n\nMotivate yourself by focusing on all of the benefits of losing weight, such as having more energy and improving your health. Then look at the negatives, such as finding the time to exercise, and come up with creative solutions.\n\n\nMore On This Topic\nWeight loss: Are you ready? \n2. Get emotional support\n\nUltimately, only you can help yourself lose weight by taking responsibility for your own behavior. But that doesn't mean that you have to do everything alone. Seek support from your partner, family and friends.\n\nPick people who you know want only the best for you and who will encourage you. They should be available to listen to your thoughts and feelings and encourage you, perhaps spend time exercising with you, and share the priority you've placed on developing a healthier lifestyle. An ideal support person might be someone who also is participating in a weight-loss program.\n\nSome people fare better with professional support, such as a dietitian or personal trainer. Others benefit from the group support they receive from organizations such as Weight Watchers or Overeaters Anonymous.\n\nIf you do join a group, keep in mind that what you get out of it will be in proportion to what you put into it. If you sit in a corner and just listen, you may hear some good suggestions. But if you actively participate, you're more likely to reap the potential rewards of the group, such as support, encouragement, feeling that you're not alone and helpful suggestions specific to your concerns.\n\n\n3. Set a realistic goal\n\nWhen you're considering what to expect from your new eating and exercise plan, be realistic. Healthy weight loss occurs slowly and steadily. Aim to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week. To do this, you need to burn 500 to 1,000 calories a day through a low-calorie diet and regular exercise. Losing weight more rapidly means losing water weight or muscle tissue, rather than fat.\n\nSet weekly or monthly goals, and then track your progress. Remember that you're in this for the long haul. Anything you undertake too intensely or too vigorously may quickly become too onerous, so you're more likely to give up.\n\nIn addition, make your goals "process goals," such as eating judiciously and exercising regularly, rather than "outcome goals," such as losing 50 pounds. Changing your process — your habits — is the key to weight loss. Make sure that your process goals a

Eat a huge breakfast, a medium sized lunch, and a tiny healthy dinner and eat your last meal before 7 pm every day.  Do that, and walk at a brisk pace twenty minutes a day four days a week and you will lose weight.  Not necessarily quickly, but you will.\nAnd no soft drinks!  Water, fruit juice, and skim milk.

you're probably not gonna want to hear this but there is no quick and safe way to lose weight; but there is a sure way. It will take some time. Increase your physical activity and reduce your caloric intake. Simply eat a little less and exercise a little more. Exercise doesn't have to be working out all the time. Any sustained  activity will work. Take brisk walks, wash your car, whatever. IT WILL WORK! you just have to be patient because it takes time but losing weight slower inceases the chances that it will stay off.No gimmicks or fad diets; just common sense.

Lemon: \nLemon is an ideal fruit, which helps in losing weight.\n\nLemon & Water: \nA glass of warm water with one lemon squeezed in it (remember no sugar) is ideal to lose weight.\n\nTea:\nMake green tea (without milk) and squeeze in half a lemon and have it 2- 3 times a day or more, this is an ideal remedy to reduce weight and stop those hunger pangs.\n\nFood to Lose: \nWhenever hunger strikes its better to eat food that is low in calories and is very filling, such foods are Corn, Beans, pulses and brown bread. Replace your white bread with Brown bread, which is rich in fiber and very stomach filling unlike white bread, which makes you feel hungrier.

The best way to lose weight is to first of all become acquainted with the kitchen and get on good terms with it and the food that will be cooked. No matter how much money one earns, how well they exercise, if they don't have food that encourages health, weight loss and tastes damn good then to start would not be a good idea because the yo-yo effect will inevitably occur.\n\nGet a hold of some good recipes, find out your calorie and macro-nutrient requirements each day and start manipulating the recipes to suit. \n\nFood is the biggest and hardest key to weight loss, not exercise. Takes nothing to exercise, takes everything to eat properly.\n\nGood luck\n\nkarl\nsfhsnz@yahoo.com

Hi, I am sure these steps will help!!! Proper diet and exercise can aid in weight loss, as well as keep you healthy. We know you've heard that before - the challenge is to follow through. Others have lost weight by following these simple guidelines, and so can you.\nInstructions \nSTEP 1: Set small, realistic goals. If you have a lot of weight to lose, try for 5 pounds, relax a bit and then go for 5 more. STEP 2: Start a regular exercise program and stick with it. Don't be afraid of those sweat suits and Lycra pants! STEP 3: Sneak in extra exercise in addition to your regular program. Park at the far end of the parking lot and walk; take the stairs instead of the elevator. STEP 4: Eat low-fat, high-fiber foods such as salads and vegetable pastas. STEP 5: Choose foods that you like. Learn to prepare healthful, low-calorie foods that taste good by checking healthy cook books for new recipes. Eating well doesn't have to mean eating dull. STEP 6: Eat smaller, more frequent meals; this way, your body starts to increase its metabolism so that calories are burned faster. Also, mini-meals can prevent overeating. STEP 7: Plan ahead. Keep the fridge stocked with healthful food and you'll be less likely to run out for high-calorie, high-fat junk food. STEP 8: Keep a food diary. This will help you pinpoint where you can improve your diet. STEP 9: Once you discover your favorite snack time, be sure to have plenty of healthful options available. Tips & Warnings \nLose weight with a friend, or join a support group. \nAvoid those vending machines by carrying around your own healthful foods and leaving pocket change at home. \nTry oatmeal instead of cornflakes for breakfast - eating oatmeal can help reduce cholesterol levels, and its high fiber content even fills you up for longer. \nChoose an exercise program that you enjoy, and don't shun the unconventional. For instance, did you know that regular vigorous dancing is exercise too? \nLose weight gradually - you are more apt to keep it off. A safe amount is 1 to 1 1/2 pounds per week. \nConsult a doctor to find an exercise program that is best for you. \nCrash diets can help you lose weight quickly, but most people gain the weight back. Some of these diets are also unhealthy and dangerous. If you choose to go with a specific diet plan, choose one that is medically credible. \nIf you have any questions or concerns, contact a physician or other health care professional before engaging in any activity related to health and diet.

Try increasing your mileage in your runs.  Running is a great way to lose weight.  Start off by increasing 1/4 of a mile every 2 weeks.
