There's no such thing as quick and fast. Anything over the counter that can promise you quick and fast isn't safe so I wouldn't take them. You just have to watch your caloric intake versus your activity level, it'll come off, but it will take time. Losing anymore than 4 pounds a week isn't healthy either so don't do some crash diet or pill that could potentially hurt you.

I think its wonderful you have lost that much weight. I did the same thing . but i gained all mine back. So what you need to do is get some old pictures of yourself and new pictures of yourself. Put them on the ref.and on your bathroom mirrow.Put them anywhere you can find a place to put them. Remenber when you were over weight and how bad you felt. How much you hurt from carring the weight. How you promised yourself if you lots that weight you would never put it back on again. Well i wish i had some one to tell me this before i put my 100+ pounds back on. I gained more weight than i had on the first time. I hate i went and did that. So I am begging you. Any time you fill like sticking something in your mouth go for a walk. Go for a swim. Do something good for your self. I have always have said its not what your eating its whats eating you. So look and see what has changed in your life and try to fix it. If you need to talk to someone feel free to e-mail me. I will encourage you all i can. Just do the best you can not to put anymore on. You know how proud of yourself you was. And when you use to look in the mirrow and say to yoursef" wow" how great do I look.You still are able to do that now, so stop and don't do any more to gain more. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

I have been on a quest to lose weight and I have tried all sorts of things, but the best way is calorie counting.  Let's see if you are 200 you eat around 2640cals a day to maintain that weight.  For each lb you want to lose you have to eat 500cals less than you would daily.\n\nI'm always tring to lose weight, and i'm a chocolate addict, I bought a food journal and I've wrote in it 21days today.  I started at 197 and I'm down to 190.  Sometimes I cheat, but I still write it down.  I don't drink any kind of drinks, and I haven't since I was little.  I barely drink juice, juice the 1/2the calories oj.  But count your calories, try to snack on fruits or veggies, I must is water i drink at least 2 liter bottles a day.  This will make you not feel so hungry, I make sure I drink alot while i'm eating.  If you don't like the taste of water, use the crytral lite stuff or the fruit flavored water at walmart.  If you don't drink enough water or eat to much salt you can retain water which makes you heavier.  \n\nI bought a neoprene belt, I don't get alot of exercise so I wear it when i go grocery shopping, it makes you sweat alot around your belly, helping get rid of it.  I also made sure i had measuring cups, food scales, and I go on calorieking.com, they have a database where i search for what i'm about to eat and find out how many calories it has in it.  \n\nIn the grocery store i stopped buying the things i usually get that has the most calories.  If i don't see it in the kitchen, i don't want it.  I buy parkay spray butter, it is so yummy, it has no calories.  Wonder bread lite has only 40 calories per slice, now anytime in the store i look at the label and i think about how bad it is for me and put it back.  I have one cabinet in my kitchen that only has snack foods and nothing else.  So when i'm cooking I won't have to get anything out, I used to keep snacks on the top of the frige, that wasn't a good thing at all.  They have 100 calorie packs now, those are really yummy, but i love the "gripz" the keebler choc chip cookie kind are great, and only 120cals, they're really tiny cookies, so i eat a couple at a time and they last much longer than the 100cal packs.  \n\nA great jumpstart to a diet is the juice diet, there's celebrity juice diet and hollywood.  Hollywood you get at walmart.  Celebrity at gnc.  It's a two day diet and when i used it a few months ago i lost 6lbs.  The bottle say up to 10lbs in 2 days.  I literally shrinks your stomach, so after the two days, so can't hold as much food.  The celebrity in the orange bottle tastes best, it's like really sweet pineapple orange juice.  If you decide to do the juice diet be careful, i usually cheat on the diet a little, like a piece of toast w/no cal butter or a few crackers.  See the diet is just juice and water for two days, I usually get light headed, so i eat a little on it.  I have no will power too, so you just have to keep yourself busy where you're not thinking about food.  But both kinds of juice diets have all your vitamins and stuff, so you wouldn't have to worry about that.\n\nUmm, I've got lots of other ideas, just let me know.  Like i've said i've tried all sorts of things.  I've been an off and on dieter since i was 14 and i'm almost 22 now.  So good luck on whatever you decide.

Well there are several ways to go about loosing weight...First you could find a brand of diet soda you enjoy...it took me awhile to find one that I liked but diet Dr. Pepper and diet Root Beer do the trick for me...\nTo loose a pound a week you need to cut out 3500 calories from what you are eating now...that could mean cutting back on portion sizes and eating lower calorie foods...Also I would highly suggest working exercises into a weight loss plan by even just walking a few days a week for 30 min you can improve your chances of loosing weight and this way you would not have to focus just on cutting calories...either way to loose a pound you have to make a 3500 calorie deficit by some combination of diet and exercise. Good Luck!

Losing weight anywhere is a lifestyle.Keep a journal of your food intake.Set a goal and have a plan about how you will achieve it. Make sure it includes lots of veggies and fruits,preferably  real juice. Eat a hearty breakfast,one with a lot of fibre. Exercise either with the help of a physical trainer or on your own.Sit ups,push up,walking etc. will start you if you do not have an exercise machine/gym at home.Since August 2005 I have lost at least 2-4 inches  in my stomach area etc. and I will lose more. I have to walk to the bus stop as the vehicles are not working. My brother,who spends time in the garden, puts on weight but loses it like butter in a skillet.He keeps moving and gets off his butt for most of the day. Sedentary workers need to keep this in mind.Choose to be healthy and work at it daily.

I've been trying to lose weight and the best way I have found is with Weight Watchers.  You can eat and eat what you want.  It's simple and it also promotes a more healthy style of eating.

And drink water...sip it all through the day...you'll melt away in no time!

You're slightly on the heavy side but no, you're not HUGE. Look at what kinds of snacks and sweets and junk foods, sodas you're eating throughout the day. Cut those and drink water instead whenever you want to eat them. Just that will help you lose ALOT of weight over about 2 weeks... If you have time, exercise!! And remember to keep this up as a part of a healthy lifestyle. DO NOT skip meals or starve yourself. I've been down that road and it's not pretty. Good luck!

healthy and active lifestyle\ntake a look at my answer to the question--->\n"What is the best diet plan need to lose 30 pounds?"\nyou  might find it helpful.

I myself lost over 100 lbs in a little over a year and have kept it off for over 3 years.  Heres what I did: Exercise regularly, eat a well balanced low fat diet, drink plenty of water, and keep a food journal.  A food journal is so helpful because you can keep track of what you are eating and see what you may need to cut back on.  Limit your soda intake.  Exercising, it doesn't have to be anything crazy just something that you can stick with.  When I started losing weight I walked for 30 everyday and slowly increased my time and speed overtime.  Since its cold now you might try exercise videos or even joining a local gym.  I hope this helps you out.  Good Luck

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

try taboo and weight lifting often\nWHAT to eat for losing weight\n\n• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.\n\n* Print these lists. They will be your ... "Bible", from now on !\n* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.\n* Try eat mostly fresh vegs & fruits (whenever possible, of course)\n* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook & Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.\n\n\n• Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)\n\n* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!\n* Avoid fat meat\n\n\n• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don't EVER exclude bread from your diet!\n\n• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits\n\n* Don't cheat ... NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc! \n* EVEN if they have "low fat" indication... They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !!!\n\n\n• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta... you know!\n\n* Don't eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I'm not a low carb addict, but I've noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.\n* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!\n* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads... with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian). \n\nif u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs\n\n1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.\n\n2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle "burn". A gym is also an option, but I don't know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.\n\n3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.\n\n4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.\n\nThat is a good place to start... if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you... if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer \n\nKeep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours\nthe most important thing is you don't lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want\n\nyou might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.com\n\ngood luck
