advice:
1. Learn to love water
2. learn to love salad
3. learn to love chicken and turkey
4. get a pedometer and don't go to bed until you've walked your 10,000 steps
5. Lift something heavy several times every few days
I'm currently 175 on my way to 140.0 -
Make this journey a life change not a diet. You have to change the aspects of your life that need it. It maybe your eating exercise many things effect it. Little changes go along way. We did. It out on the weight over night so relax and know that the weight won't come off over night !! It takes time dedication and a lot of hard work !! Keep at it am you will succeed !! x0

Definitely agree with this. Also, incorporate some exorcise. The pedometer is a great tool. Start slow, but make sure to pick up the pace gradually if possible. If you're going for fit, a healthy heart and lungs is always a good thing. I started my weight loss by changing my eating habits (I needed to do loooots of reasearch on what healthy eating was because I didn't have a clue!). Once the weight started falling off, I decided to add exorcise (I HATED exorcise, so the desire to try it was surprising to me). I started by walking a few blocks, then a mile, then two. Then I thought, "hey, I wonder how long I can run?" First I couldn't make it around the block, but little by little I added jogging into my walks, and now I run 3-4 miles 4-5 times a week. NEVER thought that would be possible.
Another tip, get a close friend or family member to join you in the journey. They can offer tips and motivation.
I hit a 8 month plateau in my weight loss after losing 35-40 pounds, and am currently trying to get back on track to getting to my goal! sw: 210 approximately. cw:165-70. gw: 1450 -

The how long it takes depends on how aggressive you are being with your weight loss. Other than vacation that I took this summer, I have averaged 10lbs lost per month since December when I started or 2lbs per week. My weight loss has been totally diet modification (I am not on a diet, I am eating more healthy and with proper portions) and walking on a treadmill for exercise. I still have about 60lbs to go until I reach my total target but only 33 left to go in 2013 for my 2013 target which was 100 lbs lost in 1 year.0

I want to lose over 80lbs!!! I've already lost 6lbs in two weeks!!! I am working hard and squeezing in whatever exercise I can!
Feel free to add me as I would love the encouragement and I love to route people on. It gives me a reminder to celebrate every little step you can because it is a step in the right direction!0 -
Yes, I've lost about 60 and gained a lb or 2 here and there... It took about a good 8 months... but you really cant judge how quick you will lose on someone elses weightloss. Simply because it depends on how hard you exercise, how great you eat and just the chemical balances within your body along with how your metabolism works as well :-) Good luck on your journey WHATEVER YOU DO... NEVER GIVE UP0

Just started today, and have over 40lbs to lose. ???? Have tried various diets before, but hoping this one will suit me. Good luck to everyone.0

22 lbs down, 56 to go.
I quit drinking sodapop. It was miserable for the first week, but now I don't miss it.
I started parking at the far end of the parking lot. A friend and I started walking for the last 10-15 minutes of our lunch hour.
I started watching portion sizes.
Started reading labels and paying attention to sodium content. Started drinking more water.
This has worked for me thus far, but everyone is different. You will need to find what works for you.0 -
I'v ju tartd and have 60lbs to lose. Here's to losing it!0
