Are you drinking 8 glasses of water a day?  Cut down on soda and drink only water for for a couple of weeks and see how it effects your body.  Plus, stop snacking and eating sweets.  It might seem hard, but if you are exercising, you can keep your mind off of it.  Try a variety of exercises, your body can adept very easily to certain exercises, and they might not be as effective as they used to be.  Try biking instead.

There is something called the "Hollywood Diet", which they sell at GNC and other health/supplement stores, that promises around 15 lb loss in 48 hours.\n\nIt has definately worked for some of my coworkers, but they seem to gain it back soon, and they're always weak and hungry after the 48 hour period.\n\nI've included a link with some details.

I've been thinking about going back on it. I lost close to thirty pounds in the first month but I also switched to water from Pepsi. I also didn't much care for the side effect so I cut a lot of fat from my diet which lessened the trips to the bathroom. If you do try it, don't get discouraged by the lack of pounds coming off because it seems to take the inches off first. I wish you well.

I have recently lost 65 pounds & I will tell you what has helped me. When I first started walking in our local park I could hardly walk just a little. I started taking music with me in my walkman & I also use my exercise time to pray & talk to the lord. I quit drinking whole milk & slowly switched to skim milk. I quit eating things that are fried & if I happen to eat fried things I switched to olive oil. I quit using butter & switched to the I cant believe its not butter spray. Each day you exercise you will be able to do more & more each day. Small changes like swithcing from whole milk to skim really pay off. I also will work out at the gym a couple of times each week. but you dont have to join the gym for results. also right before lunch & dinner I eat a couple of hand fulls of raw carrots with fat free salad dressing & I drink plenty of water. That helps you to feel full & it has helped me to cut down on the amount of food I eat. when you lose just 1 pound you really start feeling so good about yourself. Then when everyone else sees your progress & they tell you they notice you've lost weight you get such a huge natural high. Its really all about the portion sizes you eat & exercise. Watching what you eat & exercise goes hand in hand & you cant do one without the other. If its just getting out & walking for 5 or 10 minutes each day that works. just keep doing it each day till you can build it up to 30 minutes & then before you know it you'll be going an hour each day. Also if you like company get someone that is encouraging to work out with you. If you love music like I do take it with you cause it really helps.  Also stop putting yourself down. YOU ARE NOT A LOSER. God bless you & I wish you the best luck!!! You are going to do it & you are gonna be just fine!!!

Have you made any changes in your diet recently? Do you eat healthy foods and exercize regularly? It might be a problem associated with the birth control pills, or it might be a coincidence. In either case, that sounds like a lot to gain in one month. I'd ask your doctor if I were you.

If you are losing weight on the scale only, then you are burning muscle, not fat.\nYou must still be eating other foods that are bad for you, or you are not eating enough. If I need to lose weight for an occasion, I go stricter than that.  Cut out ALL bad carbs, (sugar and white flour, as well as starches) and up your protein.\nSometimes you need more than 3 weeks to see a difference.  If you kept your current plan up for 6 months, you will probably see a difference.  I did weight watchers for 3 weeks (I was starving) and lost nothing!  I now cut out bad carbs and eat primarily protein and my body seems to respond better to that.\nGood luck finding what works for you!!!!

follow the weight watcher's point system. I lost 20 lbs in3 months and my husband lost 40. He exercised, I didn't.

It sounds like you've burned much more than you ate! Remember that everyday you have a "basal metabolic rate" which is the number of calories your body automatically burns just to keep you alive, which will fall somewhere between 1200 - 3000 calories per day depending on your gender, your size, and your activity level. \n\nIt sounds like you're on the right track for weight loss. Good luck!\n\n:-)

Absolutely possible! My Aunt (45 years old, approx. 5'4" 200 lbs) lost 40 pounds in 2 months.\n\nHow did she do it? How does anybody do it without starving yourself or leading an unhealthy/impossible to keep up with exercise schedule?\n\n1. Write your current weight down on a piece of paper. Divide that number in half. Whatever that final number is, drink that many OUNCES of water EVERY DAY.\n  -- For every 20 minutes of exercise, drink an additional 8 ounces of water\n\n2. Eat Less PER MEAL. I don't know what your average meal is but for faster metabolism and better digestion, stick to eating ONE TYPE of food per meal.  (Large, complex meals are SLOW to digest, slow to metabolize, and in general, bog down your entire system).\n\n3. Eat more often (less per meal). Bodies goes into 'starvation' mode long before you feel hunger pangs. Keep that metabolism revved by eating consistently, giving yourself constant energy. \n\n4. Stop eating processed foods and sugars, to start. That's ALL you have to give up with, for starters, so don't freak out. :) They are the 2 most contributing factors for over-eating and weight gain.\n\n5. Cut off all eating 3 hours before you go to bed. Whenever your bed time is... 7pm, 10pm, 1AM, STOP eating 3 hours before bed.\n\n6. Take a quaint stroll around the block every night. Start with 15 minutes. Then increase whatever you would like. The idea isn't so much to get in a lot of exercise but walking keeps your joints loose, your muscles warmed and flexible, keeps your body fluids moving, oxygenates the blood and stimulates good digestion.\n\n7. Eat your fruit in the morning and afternoon. NOT in the evening or nighttime. Your system slows down as the day wears on and the sugars will metabolize slower. You don't want that! Fruit is a means of virtually instantaneous energy and cellular revitalization, therefore avoid it later in the day and enjoy it in the morning.\n\n8. Eat more raw vegetables!! :) At least half of your daily food intake should be vitamin & mineral-rich fiberous veggies! Snack as much as you like on carrots and celery and radishes and tomatoes and basically, whatever is in season and tastes good to you :) Make GIANT salads with loads of vegetables with yummy homemade olive oil (a great fat!) and vinegar or lemon juice dressing! Add some olives and seafood and even some noodles.  Use ingredients you REALLY LIKE! YUmmmm!!\n\n9. Get your 7-9 hours of sleep every night!! So vitally important! ZZzzzZZZZzz's give you healing, regeneration and actually quickens weight loss! \n\n10. Realize that whatever you do NOW to lose the weight HAS TO be something you can do LONG TERM or it will never last.  Go to a bookstore and find a neat food or cooking book to inspire you. \n\nThe truth is, you can healthily lose even more than 30 pounds in 2 months. It's up to you how much you end up losing. If you want diet suggestions or vitamin supplement recommendations, or have any other questions, ask away!\n\nI think, just by asking, you've already taken the hardest but most powerful step! \n\nI wish you the best!

Same here... I've been losing weight by making some easy changes.\n\n• Don't skip meals (this one is important)\n• Drink lots of water\n• Don't eat too late (basically, don't snack before bedtime)\n• Find good ways to deal with a sweet tooth- I've learned to drink a diet A&W root beer to help with mine!\n• Exercise- this one is pretty obvious. Just fit it in whenever/wherever you can, because every bit counts.\n\nAlso, because your weight gain has occurred relative to a change in your life (going overseas) look at what the actual culprit is. What has changed in your diet/nutrition/lifestyle since you have been there? \n\nGood luck.

I am a strong believer of the only way to get what you want. I lost 40 pounds last summer when I was 14. I did by eating healthy and exercise. If you don't want to do the exercise then step up on the diet, you need to find a balance. Also in walk. Like I know it does not seem like alot, but every extra step can do alot. Even if it is passing out papers in class.

LOL.. \ngood lord I was like 130 Pounds.. I'm glad that you mean 230.. you weigh the same i do.. but i'm only 5'5" I bet you look nice a curvy. \n\nremember that the slower you lose weight the more healthy it is and the longer the weight will stay off if you happen to let yourself go. \n\nEat right.. exercise every other day, DRINK LOTS OF WATER. \nI lost 40 pounds in 8 months just eating healthy food, and working out for a hour and a half every other day. with half a hour of cardio to raise my heart rate.

how did you lose it? how much did you lose, and how much did you weigh before?\n\nif what you lost was primarily water weight, you probably will gain it back, unfortunately.\n\nif you exercise and cut back on calories and stop, you will gain it back.\n\nbut if you continue, you should be able to maintain your new weight!\n\ngood luck.
