does anyone know of a diet or something that actually works?

The quickest way is to cut out red meats, starches, breads, sugars, alcohal, and sodas.
Eat veggies (salads are good), soups, and drink TONS of water. If you get hungry between a meal, drink water to fill up.
In moderation eat white meats, and fruits (fruits contain natural sugars, and that can put on weight)
Practice portion control. Yes, you'll feel hungry at first, but think of your goal, and soon your stomach will start shrinking and you won't have that feeling anymore.
Eat 5 times a day. A small breakfast. A mid-morning snack, such as an apple. A small lunch. A mid-afternoon snack, such as carrots. A lite dinner. Do not eat any later than 7pm (6pm is better.)
Go exercise for at least an hour a day, incorporating weight training. Weight training builds muscle. Muscle burns fat. You get the idea. It also gives tone and definition.
Good luck!!

I am getting ready to start the Lean for Life program from Lindora. It is a safe and rapid weight loss program. You can do it just by using the book or you can go in to one of their offices. I believe that it is very expensive though. (the office visits, not the book) I am also starting the Turbo Jam series for excercising (inside) and walking.
If you can't stick to diets. Just cut down your food. Only use a small plate instead of a large one (don't pile it up) You will be surprised at how little you can eat and still be satisfied pysically. With doing just that and walking, I lost 23 pounds. I hit a platue so now I am going to do the Lindora thing. I need to lose weight (about 60 pnds) for health reasons (diabetic) and because I am gong through breast reconstruction from cancer so I need to lose as soon as I can for the best outcome for my surgery. That is why I am doing the Lindora program. Otherwise I would just keep up with the other stuff I mentioned.
Anyway, hope you do well. If all other diets fail... I lost 45 pounds years ago using this...eat when you are hungry, stop when you are full. Amazing how that works! God created us to be able to burn off what we eat. The problem is, we eat to much and our bodies can't operate that way they are supposed to!
( I stopped smoking after and unfortunately gained it back...argh)

Weight watchers is the best program. If you would rather try on your own- low fat, high fiber. Stay away from processed foods (anything in a box/bag). Eat whole grains and try to avoid sugar. Add an activity to your daily routine, i.e., take a 30 minute walk, go for a bike ride, etc...

I used something called THINS. It's a natural appetite suppresant (no stimulants, etc.) I lost about 7 pounds a week. Not the healthiest approach, I know, but I was impatient and wanted to see quick results. You can get it from PreventionProof.com. I was particulary impressed with the fact that their research was very credible (Baylor College of Medicine, Georgetown University, American College of Cardiology, etc.) and not from some doctor who is "on the payroll". ;-))

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

1-5 pounds in 30 minutes
Not all of your excess pounds are from fat. A simple trick kills two birds with one stone: You figure out how much water you've retained and you get rid of it in 30 minutes.
Difficulty Level: Easy Time Required: thirty minutes
______________________________________________
1.Weigh yourself.
2.Take a water pill, or better yet, eat a bunch of parsley without salt to increase your diuresis.
3.Soak in an extremely hot bath for 30 minutes. The bath water will cause the excess water from your tissues to seep out. The heat will increase your sweating and water evaporation from your lungs.
4.Weigh yourself again.
5.Any pounds lost were from water weight.
Tips:
1.Do not limit your intake of liquids (except caffeine and alcohol), even if you are retaining water.
2.Go easy on the salt if you are retaining water.
3.Make it a habit to eat plenty of parsley, cucumbers or watermelons if you are retaining water.
WELCOME!

diet and exercise.. more meals in a day.. smaller, healthier meals... the more meals you eat, the faster your metabolism goes and can digest the food.. less carbs.. a lot of cardio exercise
