hi :) am not sure whats available in the markets...but, this is what i did to lose weight... PLEASE DONT TAKE PILLS... pills are nothing but anorectic agents... they make you feel less hungry... there is no way to loose weight fast... though , sauna , steam and massages help slightly... it has to be combined with diet and excercise... pills are very bad in the long run... can lead to impotency and infertility...\n\ni lost 10 kgs in about 5 months time... i am getting married in august and i desperately needed to loose weight... i was 65 kilos when i started... according to my BMI , i was 10kgs + overweight... i stand 5'2.odd and 65 kilos is grossly overweight...\n\njust dieting wont help like i found out in my case... diet + exercise will do the trick...\n\ni'll tell you what i did... it worked for me... hope it works for you too :)\n\nthe trick is not to starve but to eat smart :) and stay healthy :)\n\nwhat you should cut down :\noil , butter , cheese , margarine , mayonisse , sauces (depends , will get back to that a bit later), chips , crisps, nuts , chocolates , sugar , cola, fizz , areated drinks ,ice creams , chocolate , alcohol , cakes and everything else thats hi - cal... you'll need to avoid everything thats sweet , oily and sticky... if you are not sure about what foods to avoid... check the net...loads of info available...\n\nvegetables / meat to avoid :\npotatoes - very very important , beetroot (its a root and has concenterated sugar in it) , all kinds of roots basically except carrot... avoid lamb, mutton , pork , beef, and prawns... all these put on weight... eat only lean meats... thats fish and chicken.. avoid eating egg yolk... eat just the egg white...\n\nfruits to avoid :\nmangoes , bananas , jackfruit\n\n\nnow that we had a look at what foodstuff is to be avoided...you might be wondering if there is anythig at all that you can eat... thats how i felt... there is loads of stuff you can eat actually :)\n\nhere they come :)\n\nfast foods are a big no no... you can order salads and special lo cal foods that are avaailable in most outlets...\n\nits best to eat at home for the period you are dieting and trying to lose weight...after those few months... once you've shed your load...you can get back to your usual lifestyle... of course with some caution...\n\n\nmy diet...\nbreakfast:\n\nskimmed milk (use skimmmed milk , is low in fat , other typer of milk are higher in fat content) , fruit... i am from India... am not sure where you are from and hence you might not understand certain food types we consume here... but let me tell you something... Indian food is very very oily and very difficult to diet...\n\nand try cereal in the mornings... weetabix... etc... have a good breakfast...alwaays use brown bread... whole wheat brown bread is very good for weight reduction...\n\n\nfor lunch , we are staple rice eaters... rice is bad for fat reduction... but i still took rice because its a habit tht cant be changed... everyone takes rice here... so... rice - one cup - 100gms and lots of veggies cooked in less oil.. and absolutely no coconut and curry with less oil... all in all keep your oil intake to 2 tea spoons everyday... that would be just for seasoning... also using olive oil helps a lot...\n\n\nthen for dinner... compulsarily have wheat... pasta is a good option...but make sure you buy wheat pasta... check before buying... and of course in pasta absolutely no sauces... some varities of sauces are acceptable... as far as they dont have cheese , butter , oil ,mayonisse and fattening substances in general... you can use tomato spicy sauces etc... make sure your sugar intake doesnt cross 2 - 3 spoons per day... (not tablespoons) and no butter and ghee of course... eat a lot of fruits and vegetables... and all kinds of cereal... if you are hungry... eat a fruit... or you can eat stuff like puffed wheat and puffed rice... but no puffed corn... corn products again put on weight...\n\n\neat sandwiches as m

The simple answer, of course, is eat less and move more. However, I'm sure this is not what you wanted. What I suggest is not going on a diet per se, because all diets are doomed to fail, and usually wind up with the user gaining more weight then they lost.\n\nInstead, you need to concentrate on portion control. This does not mean denying yourself anything. On the contrary, you can have whatever you want, so long as it is in moderation. One bite of fried cheesecake is not going to make you gain five lbs. \n\nMy tips - \nWhatever is the size portion you usually get for yourself, try to give yourself half. Eat it slowly, and drink plenty of water. Water is the only beverage you should be drinking on a daily basis, as it has no calories, and is NEEDED by your body. I know there are 'diet' drinks that have no calories in them, but they are not a substitute for water. NOTHING is a substitute for water.\n\nIf you have a craving, give in, but don't over indulge. Order a small icecream, then offer to share with somebody.\n\nAvoid diet foods like the plague. If it says no fat, it is almost gauranteed to be high in sugar. If it says no sugar, it is almost gauranteed to have high fat content. The reasoning behind this is simple. Fat and sugar make things taste good. Without one of these ingredients, it takes more of the other to still taste good.\n\n\nAs for excersise, I'll have to guess. I'm not sure how tall you are, but I can guess that at 180 it can't be too easy to do. What I'm going to suggest is to start out with something like yoga. Focus on the stretches so you can prepare your body to do some serious excersise. When the yoga postions are easy to do, I reccomend moving up to pilates. It's like a high intensity yoga. \n\nThe first step to solving any problem is to admit you have one. The second is to seek help. The third is to try that help, and see where it lands you. I wish you luck.

I weighed 14 stone (140lbs) for ages about 5 years.\nI stopped eating so much, these are the rules I followed, I did it all on my own, once I could see thw weight coming off it was easy to stay motivated you just have to want it hard enough.\n\nDon't have fattening food in the house\nPut a "fat" photo of you on the fridge\n\nEat breakfast, cereal and one slice of toast\n\nPiece of fruit for midmorning\n\nSalad for lunch as you can eat lots of salad without it mattering too much\n\nDinner - still try to eat healthily but make sure you eat a decent amount - theres a long time to go till breakfast\n\nEvening - if you want 2 or 3 biscuits, crackers or bit of fruit.\n\nTry to drink 8 glasses of water a day if you don't like water try cordial. This is not only good for your body it helps you to feel full as well.\n\nVary your meals as much as you can, most diets don't work cos the diet gets boring\n\nPut aside the money you would have spent on fatty food and use it to treat yourself as a reward.\n\nExercise helps a lot I find it soooo boring but a good one is walking everywhere, a walk round the block in the evening, taking the stairs not the elevator, walking to the shop not taking the car etc\n\nSwimming is a good exercise you can do on your own, and the pools are open from early till late so you're bound to find a time that suits

You should be realistic.  One stone should be about ten days to two weeks.  Rapid weight loss is unhealthy.  Try running/jogging and eating foods low in fat/grease and low in carbs.  Please continue to drink water!

Eat less junk food and exercise more. If you only want to lost 5 pounds if you just walkt for like 20 extra minutes a day that should do it. Also, I like to have instant breakfast for breakfast, it fills me up and is fairly healthy.

You haven't stated your height. If you are over 5' 7" tall then 10 stone is an acceptable weight. If you work out a lot then you need to remember that muscle is heavier than fat. If you don't feel or look fat then be happy!\nAs you are 5' 6", you don't have anything to worry about. With plenty of exercise any excess weight will disappear over the next couple of years.

Magic isn't a cure-all.\nYou can't just rub a stone and chant some phrases and watch as your pounds disapear.\nTry eating healthy and getting some exersise.\nStick to lots of fruits and veggies, and take a run outside or try yoga.

The healthy way of losing weight is at only 2.5 - 4 kgs/month. Anything beyond this is unhealthy. If your goal is to look good and feel great and do this for even the next "parties or get together", then I woudl suggest you do it the healthy way. To do this, you need to drink plenty of water. The prescribed is 8 to 10 glasses of water but if you can drink 10 - 15 glasses a day that is good as it hastens your metabolism and flushes out toxins from your body. Another is to do exercise or do a lot of house work requiring exertion of effort to get you sweating. Try to spead your usual three meals to six small meals. Cut down or eliminate burgers, fries, and softdrinks!\n\nWhen that family event comes, suggest you dress in dark colors or stripes to accentuate lenght and not width (or girth).\n\nHope this helps you.

Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol and no smoking  if that applies. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart.  Don’t think that sports drinks can replace water, the only time you need to drink them right after a workout, besides that just stick with water. These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without.  Then work from there.  Remember these are  perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it.  If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day.  Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit.  Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night.  You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly.  This is an important factor of losing weight.  Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.  \nAs for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Also for more info on the benefits of water go to www.watercure.com Good Luck! Honestly if you need anything else don't hesitate to IM me, krista_girl86 even if you don't pick me as best answer, i'd be happy to help.  Also check out the website for the tv show The Biggest Loser on NBC.  There are many, many helpful facts on there.

id suggest walking more than a mile, because that wont do too much... if youre really serious about losing weight, then walk a little bit more than a mile, but also watch what you eat.

The only smart way to "lose weight" is to eat right and exercise.\n\nActually, you should be eating 5-6 small meals every day versus larger meals.

The first thing to do is look at your weight loss as a goal and break it down into manageable parts.\n\n3 stones sounds like a lot of weight but if you think of it not as the 42 lbs which it is but as 42 divided by 7 months (November to May inclusive), that's only six pounds a month, which suddenly seems a lot more manageable.\n\nEven so, it's a still not an insignificant amount and it will take work and a specific plan.\n\nA few points occur to me:\n1. I have no idea what the source of stress is in your life but is there any way that you can directly relieve that stress?  If so, that will help your general well being in many more ways than just your specific weight loss goals.\n\n2.  Try to find a specific strenuous physical activity which you enjoy and that suits your budget.  Some people love pumping iron in the gym but it's not for everyone, whether or not they can afford it.  If you don't enjoy it, you won't keep it up but remember enjoyable isn't necessarily the same as easy especially at first - you will have to work at whatever you do.\n\n3. If you can do an activity which adds a little muscle (we are NOT talking hare about changing your body to look like a 1980s East German shot-putter), you may find that you need to lose less simple numerical weight to achieve your desired body proportions.  This is for three reasons: firstly that everything hangs better on a more toned body - you'll jiggle less; secondly, muscle is denser than fat, so if you don't lose weight, you may still lose inches; and thirdly, muscle tissue burns fat even at rest, like an idling engine.\n\nThe other aspect is diet.  In fact, the word diet has taken on a terrible negative meaning - like you are depriving yourself.  Your "diet" is your normal nutritional plan.  Don't deprive yourself of any food you enjoy but cut back a little at a time and if necessary fill in with healthier options.\n\nDrink lots of water (or other non-sugary drinks if you really can't cope with water).\n\nI probably don't need to tell you that the healthiest diet consists of lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, lean meat and poultry and oily fish.  Avoid processed foods as much as possible\n\nTry to stick to whole grain versions of bread, rice and pasta which I think are tastier - the white types are nearly absorbed by your system in the same way as sugar (they are high GI (glycemic index)).\n\nHere's a tiny bit of science and a tip: many people say that healthy food doesn't taste as good as fatty food and that's why they eat fatty food.  This is partly psychological but does have a biochemical scientific basis.  Many of the vaste range of delicious natural aromatic flavours which technically you smell rather than taste, are dissolved in the fat contained in food.  So if you remove the fat, you may also remove the flavour.  Therefore (and here comes the tip), if you're a flavour junky, try spicing your low fat food with whatever fresh herbs and spices "float your boat" to make it tastier without upping the calories.\n\nAnd by the way, avoid too much salt as that has other health consequences.  Oh ... and a lot of dried bottled spice powders have a lot of salt in them and that's why I said to use fresh herbs and spices\n\nHope all this helps.  Your goal of three stones in 7 months is very achievable but you will have to work at it.  Good luck.
