  • I totally agree with what has been said so far. I'm 54, and the age I'm at I think makes it more difficult. But, I have found that you must eat to lose. The calorie per day as recommended by the site. It works! Good luck-Chris.

  • Something I do to fool myself-take a 6oz. (60 cal.) container of Dannon Light & Fit yogurt, stick it in the freezer until almost frozen. It's just like ice cream, and yummy!

  • Like you said-your goal is to be healthier. It is a total lifestyle change, and it has to be FOREVER! We, in the group of people with weight problems, have to face facts. It's taken me 5 years to reach my current weight. And I still have 48 pounds to go. But, I feel great. Much healthier, in many ways. I will never go…

  • On Dicovery Health cable station, I watched a program with Dr. Oz. He says anything with "hydrogenated" in it should be avoided totally. BAD,BAD,BAD for your health. That and anything enriched. That eliminates alot of different foods, mostly packaged. Chris.

    in hello! tips on losing weight needed Comment by c-grandma February 2008
  • I have it. I'm 54, and it's hard to lose the weight, even tho I diet religiously and exercise most time 6 days a week, but it CAN be done. I'm thinking it's the age thing with losing the weight. Poly cystic doesn't mean you can't lose weight. Exercise, diet, and water-key ingredients. You CAN do it! Keep your chin up-Chris.

  • So, I have a question-is it bad to go over your daily allowance of fiber? I wouldn't think so, but I'm in the negatives in that area some days. Not the cal., or the carbs. I would think more fiber would be good. Just wondered.

  • Lay on the floor, in front of your couch. Put your feet up on the seat of the couch, with knees bent, butt right up against the front of the couch. Try to stay in this position as long as you can. I find it relaxes the muscles in the lower back. Good luck!-Chris.

  • Has anyone heard of calorie cycling? I read about it recently and wondered what dieters thought about it. From what I make of it, it's eating your required calorie amount one day, and then the next day, go lower. It's supposed to break plateaus and make the body believe you are not in starvation mode. I read about it on…

  • Fruits, veggies, yogurt and water! Protein, too. Lean chicken, or tuna. Packaged starkist tuna steaks are a good source of protein.

  • They say starvation mode makes it harder to lose weight, but I rarely, if ever, reach 1200 calories and I'm losing, slowly, but still losing. 1200 calories is alot for me. I eat mostly fruits and vegtables, some chicken and tuna. No sugar, no flour. You just have to find your "key' to losing slowly. I just increase…
