Weight watchers may not be the fastest way to lose weight (depending on your definition of fas) but it is a fairly easy way to lose weight. I just started this week - but my mom just lost about 50 pounds in 9 months. Its very easy and you can do it without going to the classes. By learning the basic principles, you can find point values and other information on the internet. Its healthy and focuses on portion control. If you want to eat that cookie, you can by allocating your points in the correct way. Weight comes off fairly steadily.

Drink lots of water, don't eat after 7:00 p.m. nothing at all. And exercise, like going up and down the stairs, doing yoga and pilates, or just playing a sport outside like basketball, volleyball, or tennis. And the number one sport is dancing, thats what i heard. If you like soda, drink diet soda. I lost 20 pounds in like a week and a half just for eating turkey and lettuce, and drinking water. But then that was all water weight only, you have to literally exercise to lose the baggage so that you won't have that nasty extra flubber hanging around somewhere, and you're skin will be tight.

I have a couple of friends that signed up for a yoga class thats pretty much done in a steam room, they burn carbs like crazy.
The way that I've been doing it is drinking 8 bottles of water a day, eating 5 small healthy meals. If I'm hungry, instead of snacking like I used to do, I drink water, in a couple of weeks, with all the water, you'll see a change, just keep it up!
Remember that if you are working out, look at the inches you are loosing not the weight, cause muscle weighs more than fat
Hope I helped, and good luck!

Top weight loss tips
Today there is too much information available on losing weight that has become more confusing and sometimes difficult to follow. It’s actually very easy to lose weight if you follow my weight loss tips.
* Be in right frame of mind
Before you can start any diet program you need to be in the right frame of mind. If you do not feel good about yourself you probably will not want to choose healthy foods. You cannot expect the act of going on a diet to make you feel better about yourself. The only way you can choose to eat a healthy diet to lose weight is if you have a positive self-image.
* Eat whole food
Top weight loss tips
Eat whole foods that are as natural as possible. When you eat whole foods that are full of nutrients your body will know how much to eat and how much not to eat. You do not have to count calories because your body is a wonderful machine.
* Eat fresh fruit
Eat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day. Choose whatever type of fruit is in season.
* Drink enough water
Drink the best weight loss supplement known to man, water. Most people do not know the difference from being hungry for food or thirsty for water. A great deal of times people eat when they should drink. Most likely you will not feel as hungry if you are getting enough water. You will be satisfying the thirst, which is confused for hunger. Water also helps you digest food better. Drinking water before you eat will help fill you up.
* Always chew your food
Always chew your food well. Chewing your food well will ensure that you get the most nutrients out of your food. Getting the most nutrients will satisfy your body therefore you will eat less. Another benefit of chewing well is that it helps aid in digestion.
* Take small meals
Eat small, frequent meals in a day. Large meals tax your digestion system, making it work harder. Taking too much time in between meals makes you hungrier for the next meal.
* Include protein at meal
Include good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt.
* Shut off TV while eating
Shut off the TV whenever you eat – that includes meals and snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions when we snack in front of the tube, and typically those foods are high in fat and sugar, which means excess calories!
* Increase your physical activity
Increase your physical activity. Most people are over weight because of a lack of physical activity. Start walking more, bicycling, walks your dog for longer periods of time, swim, dance and leave the car at home when you can. It’s important that you choose a physical activity that you enjoy because you’ll stick with it.

Hi
This simple plan really works so here goes,
If you are serious about losing weight, the calories in the food you eat should be less than the energy you use. You will have to increase your metabolic rate now, and plan your diet carefully.
Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. More details available at http://tinyurl.com/m7ckx

Unfortunately, exercise! Try drinking lots and lots of water, watch your calories but don't starve. Then walk around your neighborhood or job on your breaks. Make it fun by walking with someone else you can talk to and by the time you know it, it's a habit (a good one) and you're losing weight!

Consume MINIMUM 1300 calories a day and 1 hour of cardio along with 30 minutes of weights works wonders! I lost 6 lbs 2 wks ago by doing that, but I got of track!

My brother-in-law simply switched to diet soda, and began fasting every other day. He lost a ridiculous amount of weight in a relatively short period of time. On the flip side, he has gained most of it back. The problem with these sorts of diets is that your body thinks it is starving, so when you resume eating your body quickly builds up its fat reserves. Fun.

Yah, and the faster you lose weight, the faster you'll gain it again.
There are no fast ways of losing weight & staying slim. Just face it. You need to change yer whole lifestyle and yer way of thinking. It's tough but also possible.
