QUOTE(itrainmonkeys @ Mar 1 2007, 02:51 AM) Steady balance of exercise and eating right. Unfortunately i'm not losing weight but i'm also not trying to. It also has to do with people's specific metabolisms and factors like that. I would just consult a physician or maybe a trainer and see what they say. Haven't had to go on a diet yet.....but I should start workign out. i abosolutevely adore your signature (: haha anywho! topic well.... just. what i do, is starve for like a week or something and then gain the weight back. not healthy hahaha but it works!

i've been very succesful in the last two years with losing weight & maintaining weight loss.
i used to tip the scales at 250 lbs, but in the last 18 months or so ive varied between 180 and 210 lbs... im about 200 right now.
it really takes a lot of personality changes and motivation to be succesful at weight loss.... i try to exercise every day and im very strict about what i eat.... too strict a lot of the time.

when i got down to 180 lbs i was pretty much anorexic... and i'm still stricter than i should be about what i eat, i try to loosen my standards all the time, which is harder for me than it sounds like it would be.

I lost 40 pounds with a company called Herbalife. The thing I loved about these guys was that I could do everything "on-the-go!" Like that was the reason I was gaining so much weight anyways was because I was always eating out and i noticed that my cravings increased over time. Herbalife reduced my cravings in a way that still gave me all the nutritious elements I needed daily.

It was like I took the easy way out because I didn't really have an excercise schedule or anything -- well let's face it not everyone has the time to excercise (no matter how hard we may try), but it definately motivated me to start eating healthier and I've never felt better!!!

It was great!! I would recommend them any day!! They provide a plan for anyone who wants to lose, gain or maintain your weight (just in a healthier way!!)

Yea Herbalife!!!!!!

I guess I am a bit like you. Though I have not gotten this confirmed by my doctor, all the signs count that way. Being hungry all the time is horrible, only horrible...

As for me,I basically run for a 1 mile(each day).I don't take those things where they don't even.They gain much more other than what you take in.

"How do you lose weight"?

Stop shoving garbage in your pie hole.

Simple.

Next question...

It's not a major part (anymore ) of what I do professionally, but I still do it from time to time, so here's my quick answer:

Use more calories than you take in. Other than physically removing tissue, there is no other way.

That being said here's are some specifics:

First don't make losing weight a goal-- "lose weight is not a goal it is a process. It a means to an end, such as "achieve and maintain a weight of ______ pound" (fill in the blank with an appropriate amount.)

Next answer the question why?-- think of your answer from four perspectives:

1. Advantages or benefits of losing weight (the process) and attaining a weight of _____
2. Advantages and benefits of keeping things as they are
3. The disadvantages and costs of losing weight and attaining the goal weight
4. The disadvantages and costs of not losing weight

Next make a plan that includes changes in eating habits (not a diet, but a permanent change) and for increasing your activity (not necessarily exercise, but you can do that if you like).

The basics of a healthy diet are pretty well known:

• Decrease refined carbohydrates-- white sugar, white flour
• Increase fresh fruits and vegetables
• Increase amount of water you drink-- especially before and between meals
• If youeat meat, keep it lean--remember that a serving of meal is 4 ounces, aout the size of a cassette tape.

I'll have more to say about this, but this'll do for now.
