Answer 1

Losing weight first starts with being happy with yourself and loving *YOU* on the inside. Try everyday to smile and laugh, LAUGHING is supser helpful. It seems weird but it does! =) Try to follow a 1600 calorie diet.
It's best to have 5 meals a day that way you need get to hungry because that leads to over eating.
Here is a couple ideas to help you ge started:
Breakfast:
Oatmeal and a piece of wheat toast w/ 2tsp. trans free margarine. -OR- Strawberry Banana Smoothie (In a blender process until smooth, 1 small banana, 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup fat free milk, 1/2 cup low fat plain yogurt, 2 tsp. honey, and 1 or 2 ice3 cubes. You can have your smoothie with 1 or 2 pieces of whole wheat toast. -OR- An egg on a piece of wheat toast with salsa (make 2 servings) ---If you are still huingry at breakfast have a small piece of fruit.
Lunch:
1 cup soup (water based not cream base) and a Cheese and Tomato Sandwich: 2 slices whole wheat bread, 2 slices reduced fat cheese, mustard and sliced tomato. -OR_ instead of the tomato sandwich 2 pieces whole wheat with 2 slices of Turkey and Mustard. -OR- A Lean Cuisine Frozen Meal (These are actually very tasty. The meat is delicious.
Dinner: 1 piece Chicken Breast with 2 side dishes: 1 cup steamed veggies, 1 sweet potato, 3/4 cup corn, 3/4 cup butternut squash, etc.
Dessert:
Light Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt:
3/4 cup with no more than 110 calories per 1/2 cup topped with tablespoon chocalate syrup.
Snacks:
Steamed Veggies, fruit, any nuts (these are great protein),
my personal favorite snack is Light and Fit 60 calorie yogurt cup with a 100 calorie Granola Bar. (I cruch up the Granola Bar and put it inside of my yogurt.)
Also there are alot of great ideas if you go to fast food for example....

Subway :(THE BEST CHOICE)
You can have any of the under 6 grams of fat sandwiches! They're delicious just No MAyo. My favorite is Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki. I like to get a foot long and have a 6' for lunch and a 6' for dinner.

Also make sure you do 30 minutes of excercise 5 days a week. I like to walk to the store and back instead of drive =)

This was just some ideas to help you on your way.

Also its great to drink one glass of water before eating. Water is very important!



GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer 2

There are some people out there who just gain weight because of genetics. I'm not sure what 9 stone is but I doubt it's a lot given that you exercise so much. My advice is to continue to excercise and eat the right proportions of food. Never skip meals because that actually has proved to do nothing for you. Make sure you have a good breakfast and lunch but go easy at night.

Answer 3

DONT SKIP MEALS. that will actually be worse and will make you gain more eventually. Remember, always eat every three hours to keep your metabolism running. Instead of eating a chocolate, eat an apple or something ( everyone has told you this probably already) Always eat veggies with your main meals. During the weekends, exercise during the mornings. Don't try to exercise late. Drink lots of water. For now just do cardio, no weight training.

Answer 4

first off never skip meals. If u skip meals your body will store anything u eat as fat because it wont expect to get feed for a long time. eat around 5-6 times a day. this will raise ur metabolism.

when u wake up in the morning workout. doing aerobics on an empty stomach forces ur body to use the fat it has stored as energy. after make sure you eat a good breakfast so ur muscles can soak up energy for ur next workout.

only eat high glycemic foods after u workout. the rest of the day eat low glycemic foods. here is a great site about this : http://www.ast-ss.com/articles/article.asp?AID=78

if u mess up dont worry about it. think to yourself, "ill do better tomarrow". trust me u lose more weight thinking like that than giving up completely.

Answer 5
