Best way One way to lose it is drop calories down to 1200-1400 per day, 2-3 litres of water or sugar free squash per day, reduce salts, fats and sugars as well as carbs. Don't eat carbs after 6pm!! I did this and have in total lost 88lbs. I'd lost most of it in 8 months but still going although I don't want to lose it now!! Good luck :-)

Fixed that for ya. Congratulations on you weight loss, but don't tout your way as the magic prescription for all people... it may work for you but that doesn't mean it is a guarantee for everyone, or that it is the "best way" for anyone but you. In fact since we know literally nothing about the OP except gender (height, current weight, age, activity level, and so on) your advice is potentially dangerous, honestly.

Don't eat _____ {insert any food} after ______ {insert any time} is bunk as well. Meal timing has zero effect on weight loss. It's HOW MUCH you eat, not WHEN you eat it, that determines your weight loss. The only real reason to restrict what time of day you eat any particular kind of food is if it gives you indigestion or bad dreams. Also advisable is to not eat when you're asleep. Past that, the easiest and most sustainable way of eating is the one you find that is sustainable for you. People find success when they stop making it difficult with arbitrary and unnecessary rules and limitations, and figure out what they can reasonably do for the rest of their lives.

I've got about the same goals.

Lose about 40lbs total...20 by June is a 1/2 goal. I *re*started my efforts Jan 1. My plan involves: track EVERYTHING I eat on MFP (by holding myself accountable, I don't put as much in my mouth). I plan to do at least 2 complete workout programs this year ( I have a few Shaun T and Jillian programs .... And I've embarrassingly never finished ONE - ugh). Also, there are a few 5Ks and races in my town I want to do. I used to run a LOT, and want to get back to where it is easy.

So far I am down ~5lbs and just started the second phase (Beta) of T25. They say the hardest part of working out is lacing up your sneakers... Is about right for me.


So, let's cheer each other on and feel better physically and mentally by June. Feel free to add me!

If you want some motivation for working out / running I suggest joining a local running group. I stumbled across the local chapter of a nationwide group called Moms Run This Town / She Runs This Town (they're in the process of changing the name to include ALL women not "just" moms) and I can't tell you how fantastic, supportive, encouraging and most of all MOTIVATING it has been to be a part of it. Might be worth checking to see if there's a chapter in your area!
