If you are anything like me, you love to eat things like pizza, cheeseburgers, chips, etc. I wanted to lose about 15 lbs. and diets never really worked for me because I love these foods too much. What I did instead was, I started drinking only diet soda and water. I drank nothing with sugar in it whatsoever. I found that Diet Black Cherry Vanilla Coke tasted really good(meaning it doesn't really taste too diet like). I also started eating slower even if I was really hungry. I ate smaller portions of the foods I love. For example, Instead of getting a Quarter Pounder and Regular Fries from Macdonalds, I bought a regular cheeseburger and small fries. I also started drinking a lot of extra fluids during meals so that I would fill up faster. I stuck with it and in about 3 months I had lost all of the weight that I wanted to without exercising(I have a heart condition that keeps me from being able to do anything which raises my heart rate). I hope this helps! Good Luck!

Sure...sound like you have an active job and an active life... that is good. Think of that as exercise and that is half the battle. Cut out the high calorie foods. High fats or processed foods and those high is sugar. When your body burns more calories than it takes in you will lose weight. Either increase the burning(exercise) or decrease the intake( dieting) or better yet, a little of both. Include more vegetables and high fiber foods. These can give you a feeling of fullness without a lot of the calories. Good luck.

sounds like your job and three boys keep you busy and since it sounds like you dont have time for a huge weight loss plan, heres a few simple tricks i use....first one is water! I keep and take a botle of water with me anywhere i go...ive read that your body can confuse thirst and hunger and when your hungry feeling you might just be thirsty- so drink a bottle of water and wait twenty minutes and see of your still hungry....along the same lines-you say when you get a chance to eat, you eat more than you should...well before you eat drink a bottle of water and it should help you feel fuller faster and if after eating you dont feel full then drink another bottle...i also try to leave a little something left on my plate when i eat...to not eat everything on my plate b/c i dont have time to weigh out proper portion sizes so i know if i leave a little there then maybe i was closer to the proper portion...a few tricks for getting a little extra exercise are parking far away from the store in parking lots instead of looking for the closest spot, taking stairs instead of elevators and try to hold your stomach in...just engaging the abdominal muscles and holding them tight when your working, walking will help tighten them up a bit....as you work in general engage all your muscles and try to get a "work out" from working....i do this when im just cleaning around the house even...vaccume and flex your arm and leg muscles when you move...or when you scrub the floor hold in your tummy muscles and really work your arms....lotsa little tricks like that can help a bit....hope it helps...good luck!

Drink plenty of water and instead of eating a full plate of food, just eat half or use a smaller plate. You could also try eating 5 very small meals a day instead of 3 huge meals. Try walking at least 30 minutes a day.

When you have a chance to eat, you can try drink a big glass of water before meal. Try to put in 20 mins time for exercise - any kind of exercise is OK! Avoid alcohol, cigarette and soft drink, drink plenty of water and eat a lot of veg. !

You need to be careful with the "work out" answers. You will actually gain more weight since muscle weighs more then fat. Talk with a Dr about it hun :)

fast food is salty food if you cut back on the salt in a few weeks youll be able to better taste the natural salts in food and may not crave the junk as much as you used to
