My church is currently doing a 12 week weight loss challenge and I am the spokesperson. There are 6 weeks left and I have not lost a pound! I can't say I'm giving it my all because honestly most days I over eat. I even wasted two weeks by joining weight watchers and that failed. I don't have to win the challenge but I need to show as a leader I'm doing my part and I lost some weight. How much can I lose in 6 weeks and what can help me get it off ? I want to continue my journey even after 6 weeks but I need help the most now. Any ideas? I will work on the obvious and stay under my calorie goal each day! But more needs to be done

    I have lost 15 pounds in less than 4 weeks. I am walking for 60 minutes EVERY day, because my DR told me that women over 40 have a harder time losing weight and need to exercise more. I have also stuck to my calorie limit (1400) calories a day, and have added lots of fruit and veggies to my normal routine. I eat 5-6 times a day as well. And I have upped my fiber intake to 30 grams a day and I eat a yogurt every day because I read that calcium helps with weight loss...

    Hi Miss Beezy,
    You can easily lose weight in 6 weeks. What do you think the reason(s) is you haven't lost any? With your permission, I'd like to look at your diary. That's where it all starts. Beatlemom has a great food plan going. How much do you see yourself losing in 6 weeks?
