How can I lose 40 pounds?

Okay, well first, don't give into temptation! It is okay to reward youself every so often, but not alot! Second, drink lots and lots of water! Whatever you normaly drink, replace it with water! Milk is okay in the morning too, or whenever (if) you evre drink milk. Third, eat lots of fruits and veggi's. Bananas are the best fruit to eat when you are on a diet, but if you don't like them all fruits are good. Fourth, keep up that walking! It's good that you do that. Maybe after you start walking the 1/2 hour each day, bump it up to 45min, than an hour. You'll see yourself get stronger day by day. You could also try swimming after walking. It'll relax your muscles and work your arms and legs. And after a long walk taking a refreshing swim is always good! Fifth, Of course, cut down on your snacks during the days. Eat 3 healthy meals, and a snack between lunch and dinner. And try to make it a healthy snack most of the time (somedays it can be a sweet if you want, but only once or twice a week). A good snack I like eating is Okra. It's canned, and goes in the fridge. A whole jar contains only 5 calaries and they are good for you, and I just LOVE how they taste, so I can eat them fine without worrying about getting sweets! *If I think of anything else I'll let you know. But doing all these helped me lose 15 pounds so far.*

I struggle with my weight but recently lost 30 pounds and it seemed almost effortless. Here is all that I did. I ate three meals and two snacks a day. (Breakfast is VERY important). I increased my fiber intake. I drank 8 glasses of water each day. I ate nothing two hours before bedtime. And I walked 30 minutes 3 times a week. I did not stop eating things I loved. I just didn't binge eat. The increase in fiber and water made me feel full and satisfied most of the time. By not eating two hours before bedtime, I was always hungry in the mornings and ready to eat a healthy breakfast. I lost thirty pounds in approximately three months.

If you find out I want to know! I've been taking Alli for about 2 months, but haven't noticed any difference, except for the need to keep close to a bathroom!!!! I did the Atkins diet for awhile and lost about 15 pounds, but then I just couldn't lose any more. Of course, when I quit, I put the weight right back on, then some. I wish there was an easy way.

Hi there. You can try cutting right down on your carbs, sugars and keep up with walking... It'll happen you just got to be committed and have patience... Anyway, good on you for getting out there and doing it... Good luck...

if you wanna lose weight, then do it with the healthy way. but please remember that healthy way is to lose weight gradually, not readily. don't taking diet pills like cheapterri had advised. diet pills have bad effect to your body, it's not worthy. with gradual weight lost, you can more easily maintain your targeted body weight once you've achieved it. sure it best to have a nutritionist to assist you, bu i can suggest these. cut in a half your usual meal portion. no chips and soft drinks. eat more fruits and veggi's. it contain fibers so that your stomach will take a longer time to digest it, thus you'll feel full longer. drink lots of water, water will help the cell's metabolism. so, what you eat is going to be metabolize into energy instead of turn into fatty tissue. stop eating anything after 7 pm, even fruit. just do these things continuously and you'll start to lose weight.
