a few years back i lost weight and it was 45 pounds. I ate pepperoni and drank fewer soda and ate lots of ice. I ate once a day only which was pepperoni though. I lost the wieght in 2-3 months. I didnt excerise really just climbed stairs at college twice a day. I have no excuses. I go to work then get kids ready and bring them 30 miles to school and clean house nap and go get older kids then it dinner time and bed for work.

i m 175 pounds and 5'5-5'6 tall. I have heart issues and muscle problems. I do walk 35-30 mins but not helpping.I am not lazy and my friends say they dont know why i cant lose it. I dont eat breakfast, i eat lunch with dinner. I might have a small frozen dinner. Maybe for snack while working at 230am i have 5-10 pepperoni's. I put it on when i had to stay at a friends and they ate chicken nuggets for 3 meals a day with fries. Bad choice i know.

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Never too quickly!! Safely, you should allow about 2-3 months to lose 40 lbs. On average, you should safely lose no more than 2-3 lbs per week. Any more and you could run serious health risks. Exercising is also included in this. Eat your three meals. But, try to add more carbs...but, the cimplex kind (pasta) and not too much protein (meat). Not good to drastically change diet. Also, take away too much sugary foods and sweet and alcohol

I am on weight watchers, at start I lost almost 3 pounds a week then it slowed down/plateaued to 1 pound a week, my councilor said add exercise in my routine, change my diet/food (weight watchers has 2 types of diet). So i switch to core plan, mainly vegetables and fruits, limit meat as much as possible then walked at least 30 mins. most of the week. I started loosing 1.5 to 2.5 pounds a week again. It might seem little, but look at it this way, 1.5 pounds a week is 6 pounds a month!!!!!! I think that is really fast. At some point our body becomes used to what we eat/input and what we do/output, so variety is important. Rule of thumb, portion control..small food, big activity......as they say if you don't want your belt to be supersize, then don't supersize your food. good luck and be patient.

The Dr. Atkins diet will help you to lose 40 pounds however it won't be real fast. It will be over a period of several weeks.
A quick weigh loss you generally gain right back anyway.
You can find this diet on the web, it is mainly foods you would normally have on hand and you don't have to order them or buy special brands.

There are three main ways to lose weight quickly.
1) Use only water as liquid and eliminate all other liquid drinks from your diet. You must drink as much water as possible every day. You must drink about half of your weight. If you have weight of 200 pounds then you must drink about 100 oz of water.
2) The interval between the eating is very important. If you eat once, then you must eat next after 4 hours. You must take breakfast regularly. In the night eat your food three hours before going to bed.
3) Walking is very good. You must walk as much as you can. Walk everywhere you can. Use of elevators and escalators must be reduced and instead of these you must climb stairs more often.
These are some of the fastest ways to lose weight. By just following the simple steps, you can lose your weight very quickly. You must consult your doctor if want to change your diet or exercise routine.

you need to lose 40 lbs fast and safely. you have 5 kids which means you can't afford to go on one of those diets where it drains all the energy out of you. as far as the money goes. you have to lose something to gain something. if you were able to do it on your own you wouldn't really be asking this question on the net. the truth is there is no magic pill. you would have to join one of those medically supervised diet programs. since you mention safety, you'd have to make sure that nobody is making you take any appetite suppressants or other diet pills. with 5 kids, you need energy. you can visit the website, www.livelighteatright.com but this program isn't cheap. the results are guaranteed though. if you email them, a doctor will personally reply back to you, regarding your specific situation. whatever you decide to do, don't do anything risky. no matter how much overweight, you must be a beautiful mother to your kids. and thats all that matters. for now, just cut all complex carbs from your diet. which means no bread, past etc. eat lots of vegetables. drink lots of water. give up all other beverages except water. that should help. dieting must be really hard with 5 kids around so its oging to be a challenge for you. may be you can even start with something simple as weight watchers online and see how much weight you lose. i've known people who lost about 10-15 lbs on that diet. with some people the initial pounds come off fairly easy. so you might just save some money before going in for something expensive.

easy to follow, and one that makes sense. Remember that dieting involves a lot of "mind over hunger" and entails a lot of discipline that should make you avoid most of the foods you enjoyed eating before. It is then necessary to choose the best diet intelligently.
Popular diets make it seem easy for others with all the media hype that they use to advertise their "lose fat fast" agenda. They will use a lot of testimonies about people who were able to lose so many pounds in so short a time. However, if one studies these fad diet packages, many of the diet plans that go with them are unrealistic. Some are based on wrong theories about nutrition and the way the body metabolizes food.

I am not sure that fast and safely go together when you're talking about losing weight. 2 pounds a week is considered safe, but it's not fast.
As for losing weight, there's no secret that it's a combination of a healthy diet and exercise.

I watch what I eat and run for 30 minutes when my Son goes to sleep. It will come off trust me. Set yourself small goals and if you have a 'bad' day just tell yourself you will start again tomorrow. Good Luck and have patience.
