I have found what works best is to eat healthy and workout...sounds cliche but when you stick to it, it may take longer but in the long run it does work. I finally stuck with it this year and lost 40 pounds.

anyone plz help me to track & share the recipe,really wanted to reduce in 3-4 months.

I'm with you. I fell completely off track and gained ten pounds in a few months. But that doesn't mean I don't know how to get it done.
I've lost almost 100lbs in total.
There are so many tips, suggestions, etc. I can give you. Just let me know if I can help! I'm here if you need me!
Best of luck!!!!0 -
ok then where &how to start?0

Have you tried to use MFP yet? Pick a loss of 1lb a week, follow the calorie limit they give you. Add in exercise a few times a week(whatever you CAN do right now(walking, jogging, etc), and eventually add in more strenuous exercises as you go on). If you do that, and stick to it, you'll lose weight. Not that hard really....0

If the gain was not due to super slacking and has come out of the blue, it may be hormonal. If there is an imbalance, it can cause unexpected weight gain. You should definitely have it checked out if that is the case. But, if in fact, it is from super slacking, just get back to your routine and it should self correct. I wish you great success!0

Unfortunately, I can't really make any good suggestions based off of what you've said. It could be a bunch of things and it'll be up to you to go to your doctor to make sure it isn't a medical issue or to really take into account what you are eating and how much.
All I can do is suggest you look to make sure your calorie goal is correct, exercise, and make sure to log everything.

This is very true. If you have eaten a lot of sugar and starch as you have packed on the extra calories, if will have damaged your metabolism. If that is so, you will have to "reboot" your system. I am currently on a fast from all forms of fructose--including fruit--for two weeks. Obviously, that means no sugar as well (as sugar is 50% fructose). There is a book called, "The Fat Switch" by cardiologist, Richard J. Johnson, M.D. It is a real eye opener on the dangers of sugar and simple carb consumption. I will NEVER eat sugar again (even though I used to LOVE it--that's how I got to be in poor health). BUT--I am slowly but surely regaining my health from eliminating sugar and wheat from my diet (and adding in three hours of vigorous exercise per week). If I can do it, anyone can. 0 -
you need to think back and retrack what changes you made. DId you change your workouts or activity level? What did you change in your nutrition? This is the only way to bounce back out of this. When I hit plateu or suddenly some change occurs, that is what I do and have to go back with what worked for me. Good luck0

OP, just to let you know, you don't have to cut out sugar. I have been successful with my weight loss with getting in exercise, watching my portions and teaching myself to lean towards healthier choices. If I eat sugar or something "not as healthy" - I do so in moderation.0 -
I'll sound like a commercial here, but My Fitness Pal has made this so simplistic and easy for me. Set your weight loss goal, set your lifestyle. Look at what the program tells you to do with your diet. Do it. Add exercise to make the eating part have more wiggle room. Skip exercise and adhere strictly to what the program tells you. Screw up once in a while and move on to the next day.
Honestly, logging my food makes a difference. I log my breakfast and lunch, and then I can see how much 'room' I have left for dinner. Or if I know I'll be having a large dinner, I log it early so I can see what my limit is for lunch. Exercising gives you more calories to work with if you want to.
Support, suggestions, achievents, etc from other people here in the forums is a big help too.0 -

LOL. I'm not suggesting that the odd brownie is going to cause immediate death or even that most people cannot lose weight while including a moderate amount of sugar in their diet. I am just reporting on myself and how obesity research bears out what I'm saying. I have found that it is much easier to regain my health (and simultaneously lose body fat) after cutting out sugar entirely. Sugar consumption, like alcohol consumption makes burning body fat more difficult (there's lots of research that demonstrates this) but it is certainly not impossible.0 -

I know exactly how you feel.
A month in hospital, feeling sorry for myself as well as bored out of my skin had me hitting the snacks.On top of all that, well meaning relatives and friends were bringing me takeaways in most days because they know how much I hate hospital food (in the UK hospital food is infamous, second only to prison food in unpopularity!). I ended up gaining back the 10lbs I'd worked so har to lose (being paraplegic, a motorised wheelchair user with pain and breathing difficulties meant I had to dig hard to lose the 10!)
I am so angry with myself, but hope it will motivate me to dig even harder.
I've restarted the intermittent fasting (five days eat normally, two days have one meal of 400-500 cal and water or black tea/coffee for rest of time) and this time two friends as well as my husband have joined me. It is helping enormously! We are not in competition, but are supporting and cheering each other on. I agree with the other posters, get one or tow people close to you who have your best interests at heart and go for it. And, if you want support from anyone here, just keep posting...0 -

I gained alot weight in last few month about 15lb in 4 months,i was 150 now im 165 lb with no reason.
anyone plz help me to track & share the recipe,really wanted to reduce in 3-4 months.
tips & suggestions would be great.
The short answer is eat less move more..
but the kind answer is think of how you want to be, the clothes you want to wear, the shape you want to be?
It is all so `do able` not a word I know lol.
Tomorrow is a new day..plan today what you are going to eat and log it in your MFP diary then throw in some exercise x0 -
Logging food will help you get a grip on how much you're actually eating, and how many calories your favourite foods have. It can be quite a shock!
The other great thing about logging is that it really motivates you to exercise because you can "buy" more food.
Honestly, keep to your calorie limit and exercise (cardio and strength / resistance) and you will see results. It was slow for me, about 6 months to lose 20lbs, but sustainable and worth it!0 -
This is cutting edge research. Dr. Johnson, in addition to being a cardiologist is head of the renal division at the University of Colorado Medical Center. He teams up with a number of researchers in various medical disciplines.
That's great. But what the others are asking are for links that back up his research. It's great that you read his book...but have you looked at other research or did you just go off what the book told you?0 -
To joylia & aroundthemulb
too much sugar in your diet is not good not been really watching the argument..lol x either way that is my answer0 -

To the OP...sorry about taking over your thread like that. But as it's been said, find out what your TDEE is supposed to be, log everything you eat and I'd suggest logging your exercise. Give your body about 2-3 weeks to adjust and then review how you are doing 0 -
I am in the same boat now! I gained more than 20 pounds during the last two years! I am going through a menopause and my body is storing the food I eat as fat instead of burning it! I believe I just need to be really truly committed to lose the pounds by focusing on my calories and my physical activities! so now I just joined the myfitnesspal and I am going to keep track of my calories on daily basis and exercise 3-4 times a week (walking for at least 40minutes)
When I was younger losing weight was never a concern, first because I was in perfect shape and second I used to lose weight if I for some reason missed one meal !!
Now is the time to take my weight seriously! I am ready to lose 20 pounds by taking not more than 1500 calories a day, and exercise three to four times a week. I am vegetarian and I eat healthy diet since day one that is made of lots of green veggies, fruits, nuts, and once a week a piece of Salmon.
I am going to cut on sugar and flour. Any food that has sugar is a no no except fruits. Also no breads, rice, or any food that made of flour or has flour in it! It's called "no sugar no flour diet" This will help cutting the cravings!
stay focus, stay strong, it is not easy but it can be done!
I wish everyone on this site best of luck!0 -
Hey, I lost 14kg in 3 months just by logging what I eat and weighing food on digital scales. Having an open diary that others can see really helps also. Lots of exercise and heaps of supportive friends too. Will power helps to, anyone is more than welcome to add me, the more friends the better the journey 0

Start with setting up your MFP goals. I'd advise you to set it to lose approximately 1 lb per week max for now. Eat all the calories you are allotted but not more. Work on integrating a reasonable exercise program into your weekly routine. Being too ambitious with your weight goals or restrictive with your food goals can set you up to fail. It's better to take your time and keep your weight off forever than to continue to yo-yo diet.
You do not have to stress about cutting out any specific food items. Just keep whatever you eat within your calorie budget.
Don't make things harder than it has to be, and you'll find success.0 -
I was on myfitnesspal for 10 months.Eating only the calories I was suppose to and exercising and lost and gained the same 5 pounds over and over.I had tremendose stress and think that is a big factor when trying to lose weight because sress produces to much cortisol.
I tried 12 weeks ago Time Fasting.Eat Breakfast, lunch and dinner every other day but on the fast day drink water,coffee or tea and eat supper. When exercising do both Cardio and strength. I have lost 15 pounds,15 inches and dropped almost 2 pants sizes.
The benefits of an every other fast is the increase in growth hormones to preserve muscle during the mini fasts,you reduce the insulin levels (insulin stores sugar and fat in fat cells).since less being stored in fat cells it now needs to burn fat for fuel.
the pancrease stores and produces glueagon,it is being produced faster to break up fat cells because the insulin level has decreased. The andrenal glands kick out the bad stress hormones cortisol and norepinephrine.
My blood pressure went down to normal also.
It might not be for everyone but it did work for me and I still make sure I keep right at the 1240 calories on the eat days.Then on the fast day I eat a very good supper of 600 calories.0 -
ok then where &how to start?
Lay off the refined sugar/white flour foods. Eat lots of leafy greens and other non starchy vegetables. Whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats are important. Control intake and get moving. You can eat the yummy 'bad' stuff occasionally, it just can't be the rule anymore.
No secret recipe to lose weight, just common sense.0 -

OP: apologies for being involved in the derailment of your thread. You can read everyone's comments about sugar and make our own conclusions. If you decide not to follow the route of following the unsupported advice to give up sugar, I would suggest you have a look at this post:
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/819925-the-basics-don-t-complicate-it. It has other links in it which may help.0 -
LOL---over-the-top emotionalism is somewhat amusing but not enlightening.
Neither is anything you've said.
All you've done is promote a book and hijack this thread entirely away from what the OP asked. You've completely derailed this thread and contributed absolutely nothing but pages and pages of dribble.
Start your own sugar thread.
I have done that already. You are just as guilty as I of "hijacking" the thread (my apologies to the OP but I really was trying to make a suggestion that I thought would help). "Pages and pages of dribble" when I merely cited a book that details lots of interesting research? Sad.0
