Listen, there is no easy way to losing weight. Weight loss occurs when calorie output is less than calorie input. So in other words you burn more than you eat. If you were to do this without exercise, you would not be allowed to eat too many calories. \n\nYou really need activity to lose weight as it increases your metabolism and burns what you ate in the day. If you don't you will not have great shape. Many people that are think have high body fat % so they are still not healthy. You need to consider the fact that if you want to maintain a healthy weight exercise can assist in maintaining your weight once you reach your goal. \n\nMany people lose weight and then gain it back cause they stop exercising and healthy eating. The only way to maintain your weight is to be consistent and following a healthy eating and exercise plan for life.

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 it 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.  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.  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.

self-control and excercise. determination and patience are key. you should not force yourself to lose loads of weight in a very short amount of time... it all depends on your body's metabolism, and it's usually activity that determines it.\n\nalso, i've learned that you lose more weight when you don't worry yourself about it much. remember that crash diets and eating disorders are not the best ways to go.\n\nlove yourself the way you are. try to improve, but never let yourself reach the point of compromising your well-being. when you're happy in your own skin, it will show through.

DO NOT GO ON A DIET! because:\n1. you'll gain all the lost weight back.\n2. you'll face risk of developing an eating disorder.\nI think it's very unlikely one can lose 10 lbs without exercising. but you can deceive yourself. try doing something you like:\nswimming?\ntennis?\nbiking?\ndancing?\njumping?\nwalking?\ncleaning?\nwhatever you can think of and it has to be something you really like doing.

The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume (or consume fewer calories than you burn). The kind of food you eat is secondary. However, eating lots of veggies should help you to feel full without many calories.

Make sure you eat 5 fruits and veggies a day, drink 6 glasses of water and walk 30 minutes a day.  That WILL do it! Exercise boosts your metabolism, and releases chemicals to decrease depression.

Keep in mind the following when wanting to lose weight:\n\nDiets and changing your eating to healthy food choices  can work but because we know so little about ourselves and our relationship with food, it makes it difficult to win the battle. A lot of us have problems with dieting because we have a problem called "emotional eating" we eat to comfort ourselves during difficult, stressful, sad, etc times in our lives.\n\nYou may experience all those emotions during dieting as we continuously get on the scale hoping to see a big difference in numbers after dieting only for a day or two. Also what is stressful when dieting is that we try to lose a large number of weight in such a short period of time which in most cases is unreasonable. \n\nThis all brings about stress, discomfort and sadness. When we feel this way, we turn to our best friend for help and support which for many of us is food. The diet is now broken and we feel that we can't stick to diets. We then try fad diet after fad diet hoping to lose the original 20 pounds and now we may have as much as 30 pounds to lose because we continue to put on weight as we continue to break these fad diets by binging before starting our next diet. \n\nPlease learn about your relationship with food before your next diet so that you may achieve your goals. To help a little, keep in mind the following:\n\nYou already know how to lose weight. You know that if you eat less and exercise more eventually you’ll see the pounds come off. What’s getting in your way? Why do you usually regain the weight you lost? The answer to all these questions is the same “Emotional Eating.” Simply defined, emotional eating means you eat to satisfy emotional hunger; it means you use food for comfort or as a way to cope with life; and it means you eat for reasons other than what your body needs. Whenever you reach for a boredom-breaking snack despite your commitment, or whenever you eat to quell anxiety, that’s emotional eating. Whenever you binge after a fight, or double up on portions because your day turned sour, that’s emotional eating. Whenever you feel that sharp craving for your favorite food, that’s emotional eating. When we eat during these times while on a diet, we believe the diet doesn’t work or that we lack self control and then look for the quickest way to lose weight (fasting/diet pills, ect) after eating all we can since we already messed the diet day up. Read the information below but remember that emotional eating plays a big part in why we don’t continue dieting and why we regain lost weight and why we binge today and start a new diet tomorrow. Best of Luck.\n\nP.S. After learning about my relationship with food, I was able to drop my weight from 263 pounds down to 151 pounds which is a 112 pound weight lost.

The best answer to weight loss is something that you (and almost all of America) do not want to hear; The best way to lose wieght is to simply excercise, I'm not try to be rude and you may excercise already. However a key part is knowing whether or not you are healthy. If you are healthy and merely trying to lose weight for apperance then you are hurting your body. Your body know what it wants, trust it from time to time and you may just realize that it knows best when it comes to food. If you are hungry eat, that is the way it is meant to be. Now there are exceptions to the rule like there is with anything, people that overeat and still don't fill satisifed have a genuine problem that they need to consult their doctor about. Unless you are one of these people then I would suggest eating regularly and excercising, it's the best thing you can do to be healthy.

I used to be depressed - the docs wanted to medicate me, but I wanted to live healthy and med free!  I had alot of weight to lose so I got down and worked hard.  I lost 54 lbs (you can see my before and after pic here http://www.healthandstrength.net ) and I actually came out of my depression!!!\n\nHere is what I did...remember to talk to your doctor before you change anything:\n\n\n1. NEVER EVER ate sugar. It's a poison that makes us older, sicker, fatter and tired...all things we dont want. Seriously, sugar is the one who does the dirty work in weight gain. Stop eating it all together. You can see my list of ingredients to avoid when shopping here http://www.healthandstrength.net/qofweeka.htm...\n2. Drink ALOT of water. 2-3 liters a day. The more the merrier!  We need about half our body weight in ounces JUST for regular body functions!  When you feel thirsty, that means you are already dehydrated and lose brain function.  Water flushes toxins from your fat cells and keeps you younger.\n3. Exercise!!! So very important. Here http://www.healthandstrength.net/abexe.htm... are my favorite ab exercises.  I also do cardio 4-5 days a week for about 30 minutes a time.\n4. Eat less. How many calories do you think is in that burger or that plate of fries or in that handful of chips. What about overfilling our plates? If you go here http://www.healthandstrength.net/qofweek.htm... I wrote something about saving on calories and losing weight.\n5. Go to sleep before 10pm. Your body starts repairing and rebuilding and speeding up weight loss while you sleep only if you sleep at about 10pm. If you are awake and go to bed at 12, you miss out on that very important time. I have a good article on my site here http://www.healthandstrength.net/qofweekb.htm that talks about the importance of sleep and how STRESS can make actually make you fatter.\n6. BE POSITIVE. Be thankful every day and love yourself\n7. BE CONSISTANT! That I think is the KEY to losing weight. So what if you went a week and only lost a pound...or didnt lose any...KEEP going. DON'T stop. This is a lifelong commitment, so stick to it and one day you will open your eyes and need a new wardrobe!\n8. Eat more veggies and skinny friendly foods. I have my list of my top ten foods that I ate to lost weight here http://www.healthandstrength.net/tenfoods.htm...\n80% veggies at every meal including breakfast will keep you young and help you lose weight. \n9. Do the little things that count!  Check out 10 cool ideas that you can do to help boost your calorie burn throught the day here: http://www.healthandstrength.net/tips.htm\nGood luck and don't forget that YOU are the only one who decides what foods enter your body and how long you sit around.  Make the change, take the chance and give yourself time!  You can do it.  I know you can!

Cardio.  \n\nIn order to lose that last bit of stomach weight, I had to become smaller than what I wanted in order for the remaining weight to drop in that area.  Once I did, I then, slowly put back on some weight with exercise.  \n\nHere are some other tips:\n\nThe holidays can be stressful... and unfortunately, many people reach for food as comfort. If you find yourself regularly eating in response to stress, anxiety, sadness, boredom, anger, loneliness, relationship problems, or poor self-esteem, try to break the habit with some of my strategies below.\n\nLearn to recognize your hunger. Before you automatically pop something into your mouth, rate your hunger on a scale of 1 to 5 -- 1 being ravenous and 5 being full. Make every effort to avoid eating when your hunger is a 4 or a 5. \n\nFind alternatives to eating. Make a personal list of activities you can do instead of eating. Perhaps go for a walk, call a friend, listen to music, take a hot shower/bath, exercise, clean your house, polish your nails, surf the Internet, schedule outstanding appointments, watch television, look through a photo album,  \n\nKeep a food journal. Logging your food will help to identify your toughest timeframes. It also will make you accountable... so perhaps you'll be less apt to reach for unnecessary food.\n\nThree-food interference. Make the commitment to first eat three specific healthy foods before starting on caloric comfort foods (i.e., an apple, handful of baby carrots and a yogurt). If after that, you still want to continue with your comfort foods, give yourself permission. However, most of the time, the three foods are enough to stop you from moving on.\n\nExercise regularly. Daily exercise relieves stress and puts you in a positive mindset, which provides greater strength to pass on the unhealthy fare. \n\nGet enough sleep. Research shows that sleep deprivation can increase hunger by decreasing Leptin levels, the appetite regulating hormone that signals fullness. With adequate sleep, you'll also be less tired and have more resolve to fight off the urge to grab foods for comfort.
