Who here has lost a significant amount of weight due to diet and exercise alone?

Question

that means NO diet pills, NO surgery, and NO special programs like Nutrisystem, Medifast, or Jenny Craig. Could you please explain specifically what you ate (and what did you eliminate from your diet) and how often you exercised (and what you did).

Answer 1

I lost 60lbs. after my second daughter was born. I did it by exercising for 30 minutes Mon - Fri. For my diet, I just kept track of my calories each day and kept them under 1500 each day. The only thing I completely eliminated was caffiene.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I don't know what you consider significant or not, but I lost about 15 pounds. Not a lot of weight loss but dang did I ever fit in to a pair of "skinny" jeans. Small portions of food though the day tons of water and green tea. I still ate chocolate and pizza from time to time but just had a little bit. I would run on an elliptical machine 30-60 mins 5 days a week and took one dance class once a week. Also went mountain biking on the weekends (weather permitting). I was getting ready to go to Jamaica for a friends wedding, worked great. Then I has some heath issues and was inactive and not eating property and have gained it all and then some back.

Answer 3

I lost from 140 to 120 mostly by dieting.
Bkfst: Plain bagel and coffee
Lunch: Salmon with a couple of crackers, diet coke. An alternate meal would be tomato soup with a couple of crackers.
Dinner: Fruit or a garden salad.

Once or twice a week, I ate a larger meal but limited the fat and sugars.

Answer 4

I lost 10 kilos (a little more than 20 pounds).

I started power walking for 45 mins each and every day. After going for my walk, which was after work, I would have a small tub of yoghurt for dinner and that was it. I cut back on chocolate and junk food, and that was it. One the weekends, as well as my walk, I did a 45-50 min cardio and weights DVD.

My weight fell off really quickly (I was not "fat" to start with), so I had it easy. It was hard work though.
