1) Don't use pills--first step is to depend on yourself. If you take pills you have to take them for the rest of your life. Take it from someone who has tried--they are a quick fix until you stop taking them.\n\n2) Don't diet, just eat in moderation. This is a lifetime change, not so quickly changed. Learn to enjoy what you eat to the point where you don't need to stuff yourself. Why eat a whole piece of cake when a bite will do just as well? Also, don't scold yourself if you cheat. Just get back on track again.\n\n3) Exercise EACH day. You have control over this! Even if you don't want to, just pop in a DVD and exercise for 30 minutes. I run in place of 30 minutes if I don't want to go to the gym. Also, start small--if you can't run, then walk and build up.\n\n4) Get a buddy to hold you accountable. Better yet, go to a class. Cycling, jazzercise, something. Find something that works for YOU. I LOVE water aerobics and had it had not been for a shoulder surgery I would have lost a lot of weight!\n\n5) Go out and buy a swimming suit in a relative size--if you're around 210 try a swimming suit in a size 14. That's about 1-2 sizes, right? Go slow. You want to start small and work up. \n\n6) About keeping track.\nDaily: write down what you eat--you'll be able to see how much you eat each day. Don't worry or cut calories--it's just a reality wake up call. \nWeekly: weigh yourself. Don't do it more than weekly though. The scale doesn't tell you everything you need to know.\nMonthly: Measure yourself: arms, bust, waist, hips, thigh, knee, and calf--it will take you about 3+ weeks to see a change, but when you do you'll be able to see your progress. Amazing how that works.\n\n7) Get help, if you need it to stay on track. Weight Watchers has a great monthly pass program where you can buy online and class access monthly ($15/month I think). Studies have proven that WW has the highest success rate. \n\n8) Reward yourself, but not with food--you know those shoes you love? When you hit 170, you get to go out and buy them! Set goals that you can achieve, and enjoy doing it! For me it was getting a massage and taking the day off from my kid. \n\nGood luck!!

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 if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread 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.  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 to 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.

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.

What you have to do is make your weight loss part of just having a healthier lifestyle.\n\nDiet and fitness work together toward a healthy lifestyle. Changing your diet and your level of fitness is what can change the way you look and feel. The best way to lose weight is about living a healthier life than what you may be living now. You will need a complete lifestyle change and you will need to be committed.\n\nThe body loses about 2 pounds a week optimally and that’s 2 pounds that stay off. When you drop at a faster rate your body could potentially rebound and either plateau your weight loss or put extra weight on. If you are committed then you should reach your goal.\n\nThere will be 5 basic elements you need to adjust to have a healthy lifestyle.\nThey are:\n\n1. Your Eating\n2. Your Water Intake\n3. Maintaining a balance of cardio and resistance exercise\n4. Smart supplementation\n5. Sleeping the best amount of time.

There is no such product.  There are only two ways to lose weight: 1) eat a healthy diet with a lot of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables; 2) get at least 30 minutes of exercise, daily.  Doing these things will guarantee that you stay healthy at any weight.

Exercise is great and necessary ... \nTrue weight loss depends on what you put in your mouth, and you're body's ability to change what you put into your mouth into energy.

It's funny, people will do anything to lose weight except what really works:  eat healthy and exercise.  Do NOT starve yourself, you will just slow down your metabolism and actually gain weight.  \n\nYou already know what is healthy food and what isn't.  Eat something (a healthy snack) at least every 4 hours, preferably every 3 hours, to keep your metabolism up.  \n\nAerobic exercise, 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week.  Don't work out so hard that you are out of breath and exhausted, you should still be able to talk while you are exercising.  But get your heart pumping and sweat a little.  Add some light weightlifting because muscle burns more calories than fat.  \n\nStart slow and work your way up.  Don't expect overnight results.  Losing just 2 pounds a week is healthiest, and will increase your chances of keeping the weight off.\n\nDon't concentrate on the number on the scale, or have a goal weight in mind.  What's more important is how you feel and if you are happy with how you look.

Exercise and watch what you eat.\n\nI tried the Body for Life program and it really works.  Go ahead and try it.  STICK TO IT AND YOU WILL LOSE THE WEIGHT (and inches!!).

Exercise and start calorie counting. Work out your BMR and try to eat about 500 calories a day less than this.\n\nRunning is one of the best ways to lose weight, cycling, swimming, rowing are also very good. If your not comfortable with these try dancing to your favorite music in your bedroom for an hour a day.\n\nDon't try to lose it too quickly, 2 pounds a week maximum, or your skin will not have time to adjust.\n\nGood luck.

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.

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.

You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself.  Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two  complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of.  It needs to be diluted.  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.

You should drink lots of water and exercise at least 15 minutes a day. Also try and stay away from salty and greasy foods. I've done this and I've lost alot of weight. So I know what you are going thru. It's also good to eat lots of fresh vegitables and fruits. Good luck!

The best way to lose weight is simply to elevate your heart rate at least 30 minutes a day. You dont even have to exercise for a long time. You dont have to job, jump, or do stairs. Just do anything that raises your heart rate pretty high for a few minutes, and your heart will continue to pump fast and burn calories. Instead of eating a few big meals a day, eat many small meals.\nMake realistic goals like 5 pounds a month and stick to a routine. Have confidence in yourself and dont obsess by looking in the mirror everyday. It will happen, just have patience :)\nI made a site to check BMI and calories burned per day. It's not all that great but I spent a lot of time adding quality links to the further links section.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/lose_weight.php
