okay limit your calories between 1000-1200, you can track that by writing EVERYTHING down that you eat, even fruit and veggies have calories. A major thing i would tell you that will help is no pasta and if you must then choose wheat (I recommend Barilla Plus pastas you can't even tell the difference) Pasta that is white or bread that is white clings to the lining of your stomach, stretches it out and makes you eat more because its more food to fill it up. Limit pastas and bread and you will go far. Also I would try some weight training because even a slight amount of muscles will burn 2x more calories than just exercise and you keep burning even after you stop exercise! Smoothies and slim fast have sooo many calories, sugar, and carbs. Sugar will essentially turn into fat for your body, carbs turn into sugar which turn into fat so watch out when you eat them. try eating a lean piece of meat, a vegetable (NOT POTATO! limit potato intake to 2 times a week!) and maybe your fruit for dessert. a low fat low fat dessert is to put cool whip free onto two halves of a grahm cracker make into sandwhich and freeze for 1 hour at least. Strawberry coolwhip is also really yummy. If you have time incorporate more exercise where you can. If you live close to anywhere then walk, or instead of parking the closest spot park at one of the farthest while shopping etc.
i wish you the best of luck, its a possibility but it will take hard work and COMMITMENT!

Remember that eating healthy doesn't always mean you're eating low calories. Bran is very healthy, but can also be very fattening. Be careful of the type and amount of milk your putting on that cereal. Pasta has a ton of carbs and lots of refined sugar. It's generally not all that healthy unless it's wheat.
Best suggestion would be to look into something like Weight Watchers where they teach you the difference and how to lose weight for the long term. Possibly consulting with a nutritionist could be beneficial as well. It's really more about what makes you comfortable.

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.
The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.
Get started today!

I lost 105 pounds in 6 months. Here is how I did it.
1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.
2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).
3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.
It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me.

Stay motivated, and get up and walk every day. I seriously lost all my weight starting off my day on my walk.
Good LUCK!

You have to beef up your food with extra protein. I use whey protein.. the unflavored powder can be put in cereal or soup. What this accomplishes is this. You're eating small portions that will stay with you longer. I try to have a protein drink in the morning, a salad w/hard boiled egg and soup for lunch.. for dinner I have some chicken and a salad.. I'm never hungry.

Looks like everything you're eating or drinking has lots of carbs.
You can lose weigh much faster on a low carb diet than on a low calorie or low fat diet. And after being on a low carb diet for about 24 hours , you really don't get hungry.

Eat in moderation and do lots of cardio...also lift weights- light weight and high reps really burns fat and calories...but mix and match these up into a routine...The meals you have, eat half of what you normally eat.
