Simple formula
1. Less food in mouth
2. Move body-
Oh, so you've tried that one have you? It worked wonders for me. -
Yes, I heard it works every time.
-
So do you not eat the kibbles or the bits? -
Kibbles and bits would probably make most Americans lose weight.
-
Very well said.
-
How do we manage to complicate it so, when it is so basic
-
-
For me nothing quite works like a quick carb cutout. I can drop 30 pounds in a couple of weeks like that. Not saying it's healthy, but in a pinch it works well. -
Instead of your normal diet of hay and oats
-
-
Go up and down the stairs. -
If I ever wanted to lose weight, I would just take a week or so off from whatever I'm doing and WORK MY ASS OFF. Pun intended? -
Replace soda with plain selzer, no candy, walk a lot. -
Eat raw pork and rancid tuna--you'll lose weight fast. -
I started a website/blog to hold myself accountable (www.fatbastard.org). Now each of you has to hold me to my goal! ;-) -
heyy.. these links might be useful for u who want to lose weight
How to lose weight, and how to maintain, that's the hardest part
handylessons.blogspot.com/2008/04/how-to-lose-weight-and-keep-slim.html
and here's the bottom line of what works to lose weight
handylessons.blogspot.com/2008/04/bottom-line-of-what-works-to-lose.html -
I became a vegan, lost 40 pounds that way. -
I am trying hard to maintain my weight instead of loosing it :-) -
I'm just doing the "after 6" diet these days..... Im just looking for other options...
-
Leave it somewhere and forget about it? -
This is the weight loss program that I am starting at my site, along with some other things...

Although I do have to agree with Tony LOL -
Change your diet and start a exercise program. -
run run and run.... -
go to an all-you-can-eat buffett, in th south, on Sunday, right after church. sit at a table of southerners, who just got done praying at church for the starving people in third world countries, and watch them devour two weeks worth of calories inside of 90 minutes. You will be so digusted, that you will be READY to lose some weight. -
My weight prob had nothing to do with overeating/fast foods or sweets/cakes etc. My weight problem was due to age,menopause, and a severely slowed metabolism (due to not eating enough and/or not eating at the right time, skipping brekkers and forgetting to eat lunch) and with the onset of a chronic back problem lack of exercise). I got my bod used to eating breakfast, snack, lunch, snack and then a small dinner , and volumizing with fruits and veggies (not diffcult coz I love them). I started gentle walking daily which has been very good for my back and my diet. So far I have lost 30lbs and while JC is not for everyone, it is helping me.
The most important thing for me was following a eating plan that helped boost my metabolism and an exercise program that I knew I could stick with permanently. -
I try eat food that is not high in sugar or fat and go for walks.-
How many minutes and how often do you walk?
-
-
I live in light, the light of my lcd screen reading gmail, yahoomail, orkut, facebook site in the www.dicadedica.uni7.net/ for lunch!
-
don't eat after 6pm. drink a lot of water. and cardio. if that doesn't work, crack-
or if crack doesn't work, try coke
-
Let's not forget ciggs and coffee. -
The order you do each one is important. The recipe that works, based on circumstantial evidence, is
crack first
then coke
smoke a cigarette then do one shot of espresso
finish off with a line to insure that appetite is suppressed
and repeat 3 times daily
-
-
Try not to eat too much but never skip meals.
-
Drink plenty of water. Eat 6 small healthy meals a day, plenty of exercise. Simple really. -
Part of the challenge many people face with losing weight is that they are acidic. If you are too acidic, your body protects itself by storing fat, so that even if you go on a low cal diet, you don't lose weight.
-
By spending 10 days in a Thai spa which is where we write this message from...
Over the next 10 days we'll be posting our 'DETOX DIARIES' over at
www.gosmelltheflowers.com
We're expecting to lose 10-15 pouns that we didn't really need. -
Eat a balanced diet, drinks lots of water, exercise.
If you are hungry between meals, eat some fresh or dried fruit or nuts; eat lots of everything, nutritionists say that the more colourful your diet is, the healthier it is. Cut out junk food and replace it by healthier foods.
Or else, start a blog:

Don't eat/drink/consume any sugar. That includes any kinds of carbohydrates. -
I lose weight in reverse sadly...
-
Eat right... exercise more and get enough sleep. don't eat before sleep!

what has always helped me lose tons of weight is breastfeeding. Of couurse you can only do it now and than, not always ;-)-
that worked with me as well
-
-
The time I lost the most weight was when I was pregnant, I lost over 25pounds! mind you I am not willing to try it again.-
I lost 55 lbs. after second childbirth
-
wrong spot
-
-
@modelElaine ok that settles that, now all I need to do if find someone to get me pregnant! 55lbs WOW ...
-
that was minus the baby ;-)
-
-
yes i need an efficient way to lose weight i fee like im always driving.. and eating because my schedule is so complicated im always out .. i just need to lose some weight. so i can be like my old self again -
so not healthy, but better than many methods, I eat only beef jerkey and pomigranite (sp?) and drink TH tea. It works if you need to drop 5-10 for something special in a few days
-
I have struggled with bulimia for years, and have gotten a handle on it, never did it to lose weight but more of a control thing, its a vicious circle.
So I've never really tired a diet to lose weight because weight wasn't the issue, ok not sure that makes sense -
don't eat potatoes
don't eat bread -
Weight is overemphasized.
Over the past year, through biking and yoga, I've lost a lot of fat, to the point that I've gone from an extra large t-shirt to a large, and need a belt to hold up pants that used to be too tight to wear. I'm probably in the best shape of my life.
And how much weight have I lost? None. In fact, I've gained ten pounds, all muscle..... -
Replace white rice with brown rice or pasta! Make sure you eat 100% wholemeal or wholegrain breads! No supper for 8-10weeks (no food at least 4 hours before you sleep)! Workout at least 3 times a week! Do more free weight trainings than cardio workouts! Eat 5-6 meals a day!
Come visit my blog at fitnessballworkout.blogspot.com/

There is only one formula. Consume fewer calories than you burn. Eat less and burn some, or eat lots and burn more. either way, burn more than you eat, and you lose weight.-
Unless you have a hormonal or thyroid problem, of course. or you're on medications that mess with your body.
I think if you can't lose weight the traditional way, you should see a doctor about why that is. It could be a serious problem that you would otherwise not know about.

I've come to the conclusion that it's impossible to lose weight this time of year -- what with all the pies, cookies, cakes, feasts... Don't worry about it until after the New Year. -
I do agree with the person above me, to an extent. Not only because of the holidays, but in colder weather, I find it much harder to lose weight, and I focus more on maintaining my weight. That is not to say you can't lose weight if you want to.
Everyone else had pretty much said it. You need to eat less food and exercise. Although it CAN be confusing because if you exercise a lot, sometimes you aren't eating enough food. Unless you are a fitness junkie though, I doubt that is the case.
Besides just eating less food though, you want to eat better quality food. This means whole foods, grains, nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables, etc, and not packaged and processes crap.

Force myself to vomit -
Don't do diets, just watch what I eat and exercise 3-5 times a week (cardio and strength training). I've got some info on my blog for any one who's interested in healthy eating, which is the best and only way to stay healthy and in good shape.

I give myself home liposuction every two weeks, using the vacuum cleaner, six chopsticks, a carving knife and approximately 26 plastic carrier bags. -
Do you also do colonic irrigation with the vacuum, a bucket of hot soapy water and pipe cleaners? Just curious-
Yes! Are you interested? First 5 sessions are free! Book now to avoid disappointment!!

well twice i had the wife appendages removed but i'm not sure that really counts.
-
You what? What appendages?
Uncle Anin, luckily I don't need to lose the weight but thank you for the kind offer. I tell my fat friends that Nirvana awaits them at your special clinic! -
Well tell them to hurry because I have to close it down every two weeks and move it somewhere else so I can keep one step ahead of the meddling authorities.

Hey just do home visits then - most homes have a hoover...

Weight Watchers, Exercise, Salsa Dancing and Zumba! -
I like what Tony B. said. Eat less--move more. It's a proven formula but no one likes to deprive themselves or exert themselves too much so it usually is not applied. -
Less food intakes and more exercise. -
Soups and salads. -
My issue is not so much food intake (which is typically low,) but a sedentary lifestyle. As a result, when I want to lose weight, I just get moving. Dance around the living room, brisk hikes, etc., etc. -
fasting-
I just ate a bagel with cream cheese! I'm so completely ashamed of myself.
-
-
I have never had a weight problem. I have a slender body type. I eat properly and I exercise. I don't comfort myself with food so it's unlikely that I ever will have a weight problem.
-
You should be extremely proud of yourself. Us fat girls envy you.
-
What do you mean by "us" fat girls. You are very beautiful.
You have lovely features and hair and you sure don't look at all fat to me.
-
-
Eat less
Restrictive diet with aerobic exercise -

Liposuction! -
I found a Tupperware full of holiday fudge candies in the refrigerator. Guess I'll have to postpone my diet another day.
-
You could lessen the burden you bear by mailing some of it to me
-
I'll FTP some over. Let's see... it looks like the flat ones will fit in this slot in the front of the computer...
-
OK, as long as you don't lose any fudgy goodness.....
-

-
-

I don't lose weight, I eat so I never have to lose weight. For me it's so much easier to eat healthy than lose weight.
-No junk food
-No soda
-My motto: Eat real food...not fake food. -
So anyone out there, please help me too- in gaining weight though!
or should i just do the opposite of what everyone has written here??? -
Try South Beach Diet. -
1) Running
2) Weights
3) less junk food! -

line dancing & the gym & a vegetarian diet -
Eat a balanced diet and exercise. By burning more calories than you take in, your body will burn excess fat for fuel. Balance your diet with a combination of protein, veggies, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats.
Drink plenty of water
Weight train / do cardio 3-5 days a week
I've also gone "extremely low carb" (The Palumbo Diet) and lost 20lbs. I don't recommend that particular diet to most people because, it's a pretty hardcore diet to follow. But, if you want to check it out, I'm sure you can find details about it on the Muscular Development forums. -
Don't sleep-
lol ... what do you mean by that? The longer a person sleeps the less time they have to eat in.
-
-
You forget where you put it. -
Throw up after meals...-
I'm sure my post will be removed, but I immediately thought of this image after your reply:
Heh heh heh ... -
Well i just think that american is hell bent on eating crappy food and still needing to maintain a totally unrealistic weight..(generally speaking, not everyone...) so I say, forget the diet pills...just toss up after dinner!
-
Oh, I agree. It's ridiculous.
-
Did you hear about the bulimic striptease where the cake jumps out of the girl?

Weight Loss = Burnt Calories > Consumed Calories
Weight Gain = Consumed Calories>Burnt Calories
Its just simple math. Really. -
I have never been overweight and i never eat fat -free products, let me tell you why, It's easy!!! The hardest obstacles to loosing weight is lack of motivation, and support. You don't just want to loose it and then put it back on right, what you have to do is change the mindset. Trick your mind by turn the goal of loosing weight into a side-effect. Why? Let's face it the only way you are going get a killer body in a healthy way is through workouts and proper nutrition.
But working out and eating properly just for the sake of loosing weight is NOT FUN. That is why it's important to trick your mind and motivate yourself by thinking of some other more important goal, surround yourself with supportive people, workout buddies are a plus, make workouts fun (energizing music eg. house...), make them a habit, and its gonna be easier.
What do you think, can you try that for me, and let me know how it works out for you?
Bonus Tips:
No time for workouts?
1. While brushing your teeth, why not do some calf raises
2. when driving or stuck in trafic, why not cram in a few ab crunches?
3. shall i go on?-

Great advice.

sherliez< first of all loosing weight is a much hard job. you have to work really hard to achieve what you want.
1. have 6 meals a day. divide what you normally eat (a little less actually) into these 6 meals. eat to fulfill your hunger...not to fill your tummy. but remember to eat vegetables instead of fast food or beef and mutton.
2. exercise, atleast walk more than before.
3. if you are hungry inspite of having those 6 meals, chew a chewing gum...it helps.
4. ditch all fast foods.
5. no ice cream and chocolate from now on...
6. lots of determination.-
and dont smoke
-
-
1. don't put too much food on your plate.
2. take a walk
3. always brush your teeth after eating.-
Brush your teeth.. huh?? -
Brushing your teeth curbs the urge to keep nibbling on your meal, or eating snacks. (Besides that, it's good for your teeth)
Ever eaten something right after you've brushed your teeth?
*ugh* tastes nasty.

Drink lots of water and don't eat chunk. I've done it twice for a few months. The first time I think I lose 15-20 lbs. This last time 7 lbs. It's hard to stay away from the taste of salt and sugar but you'll look good in the mirror. Good Luck. -
