I lost 110 lbs in about 9 months by tracking every single calorie in and every single calorie out. I excercised 600 +/- calories off a day and did about 1/2 hour of weight training. I stopped eating the "white stuff" - white flour & sugar and found lower calorie substitutes for almost everything in my diet. I am by no means super sexy skinny. I have "skirting" issues with my abdominal skin. Things are slowly adjusting I hope. I still have to do the excercise regimie, but I don't have to watch the food intake like a hawk anymore. I allow myself a 5lb range to bounce around in, if I go below I indulge and if I go above I start counting calories again.
I have a diet & excercise spreadsheet that goes back to November of 2004. Everything I've done, food in, calories out.
Note: I did loose weight too quickly and messed up my hormones. That took about 5 monthes to clear up, after which I took off that last 10lbs to hit my goal weight range. I went from 272lb down to 155-160lb range at 5ft 11inch.

I lost a large amount of weight 2 years ago. I started walking every night after work. Started at about 1/2 mile, and worked my way up to 2 miles a night. I ate the right foods, smaller portions, and really gave my willpower a workout too! I ended up loosing almost 60 pounds in about 6 months. Over that 2 years, I have gained back 8 pounds. I went from a size 16 (I am about 5 ft 11) to a size 10. I would still like to be in a 9, and have started walking again. I enjoy it very much. It gets me away from my kids for a while and fresh air is wonderful. Any diet will work, you just have to stay with it!

Well not the size of a whale or anything! But I was 20 lbs. over weight. Best thing for losing weight......walking, briskly.
And when your home from work LATE at night and there's nothing on t.v. that really good. Plus if you keep watching t.v. your bound to get the munches by seeing all the ads for yummies. So that's why I get on the computer and check my e-mails. I get soooooooo many people sending me funny jokes and such. I'd rather be tightening my stomach muscles from laughter at midnight and then sharing the laughter with others (by advertising so much on my site), I have many e-pals all over the world that read and vote on my jokes etc. for a source of there entertainment. Luckily I'm a very fast typer which is burning calories right there as well. Much more than just watching t.v. would or talking on the phone!
Hope I answered all your questions. Even if you didn't answer mine!

Jack Osbourne weight loss
It hasn't been easy — or pleasant.
Jack Osbourne has spoken about losing five stone in six months.Jack Osbourne has shed nearly 70 pounds since the spring and has cleaned up his act.
One of the best things about being unrecognizable: "I've been able to live a normal life for the first time in years," Osbourne told The Mirror in London.
Osbourne's new lifestyle includes jogging, rock climbing and bedtime at 11 p.m. Drugs, alcohol, cigarettes and junk food are out, he says.
The dramatic weight loss came as the star filmed a new action adventure series, Jack Osbourne Adrenaline Junkie, for ITV2.
Jack took an entirely natural route, beginning with an intensive detox in Thailand.
That was one of the most miserable weeks of my life," he told The Mirror. "It was hot, sticky and boring. I had a tube up my **** twice a day and five litres of coffee was poured in. It wasn't painful but the pressure was uncomfortable."
Of the physical changes, he added: "People don't recognise me any more. I've been able to lead a normal life for the first time in years. My target is to get down to 10st 7lb, but [my parents] are worried because they think that's too skinny. I feel really good, but I've never felt as physically tired."

Well, yes for me it worked... Was quite overweight as a teenager and early adulthood. Then I had my first child - throughout pregnancy I was sick all day every day, so yes I lost some weight. But after my baby was born I breastfed and ate the same as normal and the weight just dropped off. Plus the fact that I had a new bundle of joy to give me a purpose for living - it got me off the sofa AND out of bed at night to feed him a hundred times. The weight soon dropped off. Guess wot - seven years later and now with 3 children the weight is still off - and I am still getting off that sofa and out of bed any hour of the night to comfort a scared little boy or girl. If you keep ACTIVE with your kids / pet / husband / whoever... you will soon find that your body will thank you for it and you will start to feel and look healthier...
In my case my kids kept me slim as I put in the effort and put them first...

I've lost 30 pounds in 7 months with diet and exercise. I found that going back and looking at my calendar, more weight came off when I exercised more.

Homeopathic Treatment for Excessive Fat and Weight :-
PHYTOLACCA BERRY's Mother Tincture is perhaps the safest and sure fire way of loosing excessive fat around abdomen. With Phytolacca Berry once you loose the excessive fat and weight you don't get it back because you body takes care of itself after that and keeps you from gathering up excessive fat. It is prescribed after having a baby too, to get the tummy to loose its flab and to make it flatter and tighter. And after loosing weight with this you don't get flabby it tightens up the flab and skin along with helping your body to shed the excessive accumulation of fat around the girth
The dosage is 15 to 20 drops of the tincture in half a cup of hot water thrice a day half hour before or after meals.
Avoid Chocolates, Coffee, Mints, Red Meat and Carbonated and Alcoholic drinks while taking Homeopathic Medicines. You have to take it for at least 30 to 45 days after that you start to feel the results.
To the best of my knowledge its the safest and the most sure fire way of loosing fat and weight and keeping it of for keeps. Excellent remedy for Obese people who cant seem to shed weight despite trying.
Homeopathic Remedies can be found at all Major Herbal Stores or could be bought on line, In most of the world Homeopathic remedies are quite cheap and easy to find and they do not need a prescription.
Take care and God Bless !

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!
Get started today!
