Answer 1

A diet rich in whole grains and fiber, protein, and just healthy foods in general. The whole grains will be a lot more filling than the starchy carbs, and thus will curb your apetite. The protein will also help curb your apetite, and along with resistance training, will help develop more muscle. More muscle equals a higher metabolism, this is key, and many lose sight of this when dieting.

Combine with an active lifestyle and plenty of water and you're ready to go. www.bodybuilding.com has a lot of information for those looking to be healthy. Don't let the name fool you, its not just for bodybuilders. Also they have lots of pictures of people who have lost 70+ pounds, and how they did it. Everyone's different, but there is something for you.

You sound dedicated, and this too will help you. Don't be discouraged because it takes time to lose weight, just as it does to gain weight. Just know that life will be so much more enjoyable when you are happy, and trust me you will be very happy soon if you do your research and stay dedicated.

Answer 2

Here is a good diet to follow if you want to lose weight:

Meals
You will eat 5 or 6 meals a day every couple hours. It is critical that you do NOT skip meals or push them off. These meals will NOT fill you to the gills. They will, however, take away the hunger. You will need to keep on hand some whey protein powder which you can get at any GNC (get Designer Protein brand) and some protein bars (get Clif Peanut Butter Builder Bar if you can). You can switch or duplicate any meals except breakfast (ie eat two salads instead of one salad and one protein bar). You cannot deviate otherwise (ie, no snacking or taste testing between meals). You will follow this meal plan 6 days a week and on the 7th day you can eat whatever you want (within reason and without binging). You can have as many spices as you want, but limit condiments. Absolutely no fried or breaded food. All meat/seafood is to be grilled or baked. Try to work up to drinking a gallon of water a day. Room temperature water is best as it doesn’t shock the system and is easier to drink. You can have as much green or white tea as you want (hot or cold)…but use Stevia as your sweetener. You can have diet cola, but try to limit to one a day if any. No coffee.

(8:30) Meal 1 - Omelet made with egg whites with veggies and 1 slice cheese, ¼ cup OJ w/seltzer water or one fresh orange, and 1 slice whole wheat bread w/ calorie free butter spray.
OR
Meal 1 Option - One bowl oatmeal (1/2 cup dry), ¼ cup OJ w/seltzer water or one fresh orange
(10:30) Meal 2 – 1 scoop of protein powder mixed in 1 cup of rice milk, soy milk, or plain yoghurt.
(1:00) Meal 3 - 3 oz tuna, turkey, or chicken w/ 1 tbsp light miracle whip or vinegar with a big vegetable salad.
(3:30) Meal 4 - 3 oz of turkey breast (deli meat) and a small apple
OR
Meal 4 Option - 1 protein bar
(6:00) Meal 5 - 3-4 oz of lean meat (steak, chicken, fish, pork loin, and turkey), 3oz sweet potato, and serving of vegetables.
(8:00) Meal 6 – If still hungry, protein shake mixed with 1 cup of rice or soy milk or plain yoghurt.

As far as exercise...you need to do 3 days of cardio and 3 days of weight training. Try doing 30 minute cardio sessions and 30-45 min weight lifting sessions. Takes no time at all and you will see a BIG difference. But you HAVE to diet AND exercise.

Answer 3

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:)

Answer 4

What helps me is compliments. Just lose the first 10lbs and get someone to give you a compliment. Seriously, positive motivation can be bigger than negative. This motivates me to eat less and workout more.

This also helps me, look at cute clothes in magazines, that you can wear once the weight is off.

Then theres the small things that help, like just walking more, steps vs elevators, fidgeting, life style changes. And watch your beverage intake, those cals can add up.

Answer 5

oh, you are almost there, you don't have that much to lose.

you're not much taller then me.

go for walks, 10-15 minutes at a time, utilize the breaks you get at work.

eat lots of protein, veggies, fruit etc.

lay off : breads, pasta, sweets, soda pop, candy etc.

you need to MOVE your body at least 30 minutes a day- minimum.

drink skim milk, in-between meals

3 meals, 3 milks, and water (you can add crystal light, because it's sugar free)

this is what i've been doing for almost 5 months and i've lost 75 lbs.

Good luck!

if you have any more q's feel free to email me privately.

Answer 6

Cut back on processed foods.

Leave a little on your plate each meal

If you need a treat, get a small one. Even if you buy a Reese pb cup and only eat one! Share the other with a friend. Or throw it away ( I know this is hard!) It either goes to waste or waist!

Move more, park farther away, take the stairs, every little bit helps.

Good luck!
