  • I grab a hot cup (or two) of green tea between meals if I start feeling hungry.

  • You don't need to go to a gym to lose weight. If you don't like working out then don't. There are plenty of ways to get exercise without ever stepping foot into a gym. You can lose all the weight you want by diet alone but adding physical activity into the mix is not a bad idea. You said you feel tired all of the time. It…

  • What I did to get away from the restaurant rut was to start planning my meals long before I get hungry. This way I can focus on preparing a delicious healthy meal well in advance of that deep hunger creeping in and telling me to run out to a restaurant because I'm too tired and hungry to prepare my own food. It gets easier…

  • Hi Julie. I like to look at my daily accomplishments rather than think about reaching my target weight. My blood pressure has been improving, waistline is decreasing, energy level is increasing, old clothes are fitting again :-), and overall I just feel better about myself and feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment.…

  • I get satisfaction and motivation out of watching how baggy my current clothes get as I drop the pounds.

  • After reading this article (assuming it's all true) you may never want to drink soda again. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/01/12/what-happens-to-your-body-within-an-hour-of-drinking-a-coke.aspx

  • I have not taken Losartan but I have lowered my blood pressure with dieting and by reducing my sodium intake. I went from 155 over 99 down to 122 over 83 in less than 3 weeks. I think this drop is mostly due to greatly reducing my sodium intake as I've only lost about 7 pounds.

  • Let him know that he's inadvertently impacting your health and ask that he not eat his evil foods while in your presence. Don't let him become your scapegoat for living an unhealthy lifestyle. As you continue to gain weight and find it increasingly difficult to get off the couch, you will eventually come to resent him,…

  • nm212, I had a friend in a similar situation. It turned out she was skipping breakfast. I encouraged her to start eating breakfast and she started losing lbs again. If you're skipping meals, don't... if you're not skipping meals, try eating more often throughout the day (without increasing your daily calorie intake).
    in lose weight first, or focus on muscle? Comment by jmiguy October 2013
  • You shouldn't be running while you are very overweight. You could seriously injure yourself. Try something low impact until you lose enough weight to run without risk. I tore my ACL (not while running) and the swelling in my knee was the worst pain I've ever experienced. It required 2 months of therapy and recovery before…
