How do you loose weight

I just started doing the same thing the beggining of Febuary. I just try to eat a more well balanced diet, portion control and I try to excercise a bit. I've lost 8 lbs so far. I also don't totally cut out treats. I will still have a treat from time to time, I will just eat it in moderation. I also try to have healthier snacks, such as lightly buttered popcorn.

Dispite commitment, dedication and hard work....I don't.

I am an older person and as I got older I started to gain and gain until I felt very uncomfortable. Diets, any diets did not work. So two years ago I decided I would stabilize my weight. Enough was enough. I adopted a healthy life style, cut out all pre-cooked and prepared foods and most canned foods. I eat oatmeal but buy the rolled oats and cook my own instead of using the instant packages that contain a lot of sugar. I eat 5 or 6 small meals or snacks a day. Fresh fruits and fresh veggies, meat, potatoes and rice all prepared from scratch. I don't use canned soups. Did you know a small can of Campbell's tomato soup (10 oz) contains 27% of sodium. That is like filling up the can almost one third with salt. Anyway, in the past two years I have not gained anymore. I have lost 10 pounds, not much, but now I am working on the next ten pounds. I found a walking partner and in good weather we walk for an hour 2 or three times a week. I also walk by myself wherever I can walk to. I still have a soda and a small bag of chips once in a while, eat fast food the odd time and order a pizza about once a month. So, this is my story, I don't feel deprived or hungry and I am loosing slowly but surely instead of gaining. Good luck to you, I think you are on the right track.

You have to exercise regularly to lose weight. Aerobics, running , fast walking like that. But healthy diet is also essential. Have less calories, eat more vegetables Don't eat cookies, pastries, sweets too much. Just a bite for taste each enough. And you should follow this for ever. Because your weight increases means you don't need those extra calories!!

kudos to you for making that change. i've made a change in my lifestyle too. i eat relatively healthy. and have started walking. a lot! we (my best friend and i) started last summer taking her 2 dogs for 3 hour walks almost every night-beats sitting at home watching the tube. however, last fall, one of her dogs was hit by a truck and broke her leg very badly-she's pretty much better now, but, because of the plates in her leg-which when they get cold cause her pain, we've put the walking on hold until the weather gets warmer-which will hopefully be very soon! we've tried the gym thing, but found that we were never really motivated to go-but we both love walking! and i'll let you in on another thing i do. i have cheat moments. some people have cheat days-a day where they eat things that are not the best for them, guilt free. well i have cheat moments. if i want something like a piece of chocolate-i have it. but only one piece. same goes for all that other "bad" stuff. and i don't have any guilt about it because i don't feel like i'm being deprived of anything, nor am i really going off my "diet" or my lifestyle as i call it!

Yes the biggest losser workouts are good. I to have lost control of myself. Taken babysets' agree DIETS are no longer apart of losing weight you have to do a life style change.

I have tird many times, but no work. I think maybe present life is too good for us, we can get enough to eat and take our favorate snacks when we wants. So I keep eat on eat, and now weight enough. Once have a time, I am so busy that can not have enough time to sleep and enough to shopping for snacks, so I lose about 10 kilo in that period, but when the time has gone, I take all the weight back in less than three month.
