    Eating healthy and being active are the best ways to maintain a good weight. That works for me at least!

    I developed my own system that worked pretty dang good.

    That entails, waking up at 5:30 in the morning, having a Slim Fast, going to the gym, then around 8:00 or 8:30 I have a healthy breakfast. The healthy breakfast usually entails multi grain toast, some type of fruit, an egg, and probably yogurt and/or cottage cheese. Then, just eat healthy all day (eating smaller portions instead of big meals) and try to snack healthy throughout the day.

    I work out every day--not only does it let off agression and steam but it keeps me toned!

    I have never been on a diet. I do not fry anything in oil, or almost never. I am not a health nut, but I eat a pretty healthy diet and I don't usually have sweets in my house. Even when I don't exercise, I don't usually put on any weight. I currently belly dance and run (not at the same time-I don't wanna say that too loud and give my dance instructor ideas about new ways to torture my class).

      Why would you want to put on weight?

    It's important to remember that losing fat and losing weight aren't always the same thing. I weighed 207 in November. Since then, I've started biking 100 miles a week and doing intense vinyasa yoga classes multiple times a week. I'm now wearing large instead of x-large t-shirts and need a belt for pants that were so tight I could barely put them on this winter. And last time I weighed myself, I found the needle stopping on...217. I lost a lot of fat, but gained more muscle.

    To maintain my health & weight, I don't deny myself cheesecake or the other delights of life. I also typically get enough sleep. I go out hiking whenever I can, but that's more for enjoyment than "exercise." Most importantly, though, I don't stress about health, weight or much of anything, for that matter. I'd rather live a shorter life that includes chicken wings, etc. than a longer one without. I also make sure NOT to go to the doctor, whose business is illness, after all (not to mention that my Dr.'s a boob.)

    proper breathing and exercising regularly.

    eating lean protein (chicken, fish), lots of produce and whole grains. i work out 5 times a week (2-3 hrs/day) doing cardio and weight training. i don't smoke, drink 1-2 times/month and drink lots of water. it works for me.

    Am just sensible. Had to give up eating meat a couple of years ago and haven't looked back, I feel so much better and lost loads of weight. I just have easy control buttons in my head and don't crave unhealthy stuff. I know I'm pretty lucky with this and understand it's not that easy for everyone. Also a very active job helps with the exercise.

      Very nice!

    Because I work online for a solid 8 hours a day - then end up right back on here again for entertainment... I have to watch out for "chair butt". You guys know what I'm talking about - where an otherwise trim woman looks like she swallowed an inner tube and it stuck right around her middle! LOL

    I only drink water while parked in this chair - take breaks ever 30 minutes and stand and stretch - and never NEVER never eat a meal at the computer.

    I don't "exercise" in the routine way - but we live on a large farm so I get plenty every morning and evening feeding the livestock, walking horses, and such.

    Otherwise - I just try to eat healthy Which cookies are healthy... they are... sure they are.

    Well I go to the gym and train at least four times a week and eat 5 to 6 meals a day at 3 to 3.5 hr intervals to keep my metabolism at its peak.

    Understanding one's physique is very essential to keep in shape and stay healthy as well. I swim, it helps me much in staying fit.

    I run, hike, lift weights, cross train using Tabata Protocol and dynamic body weight exercises with some MMA. For the brain, I meditate, practice deep breathing and visualization.
    Nutrition wise, I use Superfood supplements, naturally derived multi-vitamin and calcium supplements. My body fat stays at a consistent 6.5-6.9% through intelligent effective eating and exercise. I usually exercise 4 to 5 days a week, preferably in the morning but will do it whenever I can even if just for 10 or 15 min. which can be very effective.

    If anyone is interested, I wrote a health & wellness book called Live Smart that is available on Lulu.com or from my blog. I have helped change peoples lives with these health and fitness strategies for over twenty years and I hope they help you. I also did a post on the Tabata Protocol if your interested. Have a great week.
