I find that it is easier that I watch the way I eat is best for weight control. When I had my first child my weight just stuck on me. I use to be able to fit into a size 0 clothing with it still being a bit loose. Gosh, those are distant memories now. I tried the diet pills and other techniques but not surgery yet. But, most of those weight that I lost just came right back on. Exercise is good but I found out that I don't have to do a lot just a brisk walk a day for 20-30 minutes. Eat healthier. Meaning eating more veggies less starch. I have a good breakfast snacks in between like carrot sticks then a good size lunch with snacks again in between then a light no meat dinner (sub it with fish for dinner). It help me shed the weight. What works for you?

I've found something that's really working for me recently. Apple Cider Vinegar. Not the pretty kind that's all clear and pleasing to the eye, but the kind from the health food store that is organic. I take 2 tablespoons mixed in with a little water and taken 20 minutes before I eat breakfast, then again right before I go to bed. I swear I'm losing weight. It revs up your metabolism and is a natural appetite supressant. Apple cider vinegar also has alot of healthy benefits, too many to mention here. I highly recommend it. :)

Oh yeah Summer, I tried that too. But it is an acquire taste. Apple cider vinger smells very bad too me and the taste is not too yummy for me. I use to mix it into my salad. That works but just the smell and taste is not my thing. Thanks for the comment.

I agree with you. Watching the food we eat and the quantity is the best way to control our weight. Be health concious as well. Eat a balnce diet. We should not only focus in loosing weight. But check also our health.

I've been going to Curves for Women and working out 3-4 times a week and totally believe in their program. It works! The inches and weight comes off easily, but you still have to watch what you eat as well. I do not drink soda anymore (getting rid of that alone, you will lose several pounds, and also eating whole wheat bread and giving up white bread). I eat sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes. I skip deserts, and eat fruit instead. Cut out the sugar and enriched flour products, that will help a lot.

I love your avatar. It's cute. My daughter loves watching Hello Kitty. She made a request for me to streamline some Hello Kitty cartoons into my website LOL. But the biggest fan of Hello Kitty in my family is my sister. Yeah watching what you eat is very important. Thanks for the comment.

Yup, I had two babies too. When I had my first one I turn to my hubby and said darn it I thought she was going to be like 30 or so pounds LOL. But she was only 6lbs and the rest stuck to me like super glue. Then when I thought that I was actually loosing some weight baby number 2 added a few more pounds to me. Seems as though they both gave me 30lbs each so I am overweight by 60lbs :X yikes. LOL but I do see the pounds going off not fast but slowly. Good Luck hope it works for you too.

Yeah, someone told me in the past that the weight problem of this society is all due to their mental believes. If their head tells them that they can shed the weight and they know how to control how they eat what they eat then they won't have anything to worry about. It's all in the mind set.
