Have u ever tried to Diet? Were you successful?

In Sept 07 I started walking daily but mainly for my dog because he was starting to get overweight but while trying to slim him down I lost a lot of weight myself. If you can you should try and do at least a 30min walk a day and since you have a son he'll make for a great walking partner :) or if he's not walking yet babys usually love going for walks in the stroller. Also just watch ur calories. i used to think this was hard but its not. actually if u intake a lot more fiber you REALLY won't be hungry that much and it'll take a less to fill you so watching the calories is easy. This is what i usually eat - cereal or fruit (sometimes eggs and toast) for breakfast and for lunch i'll have a quaker bar or yogurt or fruit or sandwich or something along those lines and for dinner it can really be almost anything but i eat a lot of chicken (mainly cuz im just really picky eater) but i always try to not go over like 500-600 calories for dinner. I've lost 110lbs in about 7months from walking and working out. i was 260 something I am now 180 and my goal is 175lbs by july which i'm sure ill hit probably in another week. but yeah, the best thing is walking. at least i think swimming is really good too or biking.

When I was kid til high school I was a fat girl. I tried to diet, and here's my formula: a glass of low-fat milk and toast bread (whole wheat bread) for breakfast, a glass of fruit juice and steam vegetables (carrot, corn, potatoes, and beans) for lunch, fried eggs, 2 portions of fruit for dinner. After a month doing it regularly and i lost weight about 5kgs. Would like to continue it but I think I had reached my ideal. Human body varies from one another, some people lost weight more than others. One thing to remember when dieting is that you should pay attention to the nutrition of the food you eat. It doesn't mean that you should always avoid fat, coz it's one thing the body needs. Lack of fat will result in a weakness of the body. Medicines of losing weight has a yo-yo effect, be careful to it.

not, always 46 kg have been lean are 1,68 the contrary serves me..........maybe bye myryam

i am a fat college going girl....and so its quite understood that i am desperate to loose weight. for this, i have tried dieting many times but couldn't continue for more than a day. not that i try out crash diesting...i continue having three meals a day...but even then my taste buds beg me to have some delicious junk food...and i just can't resist. as a matter of fact, i have been on a low diet sonce abt a week....n have lost about 1 kg weight...this is like the longest period for which i've been on a diet...and i wish i continue it this way. although i am feeling a bit weak and depressed....but as long as i am loosing weight...i am ready to sacrifice my happiness for a couple of day...lol..wish me luck!

Dear friends Earlier I washefty but one of my friend advised me to go on diet and also to some exercise regularly to reduce the weight. As per his advise I decided to diet control and started regular exercise like daily morning & evening walking, cycling and other exercise, yoga, meditation, pranayam etc. By doing so since last one year I observed lots of change in my health i.e. reduction in weight.If you try it is sure that you will also be benefited by dieting & exercise. pkc3000

I have been dieting all my life but they never work at all. At least not for me.

I've been dieting on and off all my life. I have the tendency to gain weight easily so I really have to watch what I eat. Not that I'm body or image conscious, but getting heavy has its own setbacks and it's better to stay within the normal range. Anyways, the most effective diet that I went through was the Atkins diet. It's a diet wherein sweets and other carbs like bread, pasta and rice are prohibited. It's very hard to discipline myself not to consume those favorite foods, but I was successful at that time because I was really determined. Other than that, I think the next best diet is the no rice diet. It also makes you lose a significant amount of weight. For now, maybe you can get easy or even do away with rice, softdrink/soda, candies/chocolates and fancy desserts. That will really help melt some inches away. Goodluck! :)

Right now I'm trying to diet for pretty much the first time in my life. I delivered mail for almost 20 years so then I could eat whatever I wanted to because I'd walk it off but now I'm not able to do it anymore and it's all caught up with me. From what I've tried and what I've read and heard the main thing is moderation. "Fad" diets don't work, you just want to eat less, eat more healthy foods and cut down as much as possible on the junk food but don't deprive yourself completely of the things you really love. Drink LOTS of water. I'd love to compare notes with you and maybe we could compare notes. Annie

I lost 15lbs in three months by just changing the way I ate. Switching to low fat or fat free things and watching the calorie intake. I did exercise when I got home from work like riding my stationary bike or I have the lateral thigh machine and while I did that I would read a book. For maybe 10 minutes. In order to stick to a diet you have to make a schedule. I would wake up at 7am take a shower eat breakfast go to work at 10 I would have a little snack either fruit or a handful of unsalted nuts lunch at 1. Snack on the way home which was an apple or something like that which was at 5:30. When I got home like I said I would work out take a shower eat dinner around 7 and go to bed around 9. What helped me stick to my diet even more was if I did really well during the week I would give myself a treat on the weekend. I didn't go overboard it was maybe a candy or something. It gave me something to look forward to on the weekend besides being off. Oh and drink alot of water. At first it was hard to do the diet b/c it felt as if I was always hungry but I would drink a glass of water when I would get hungry. Good luck.

Oh dieting has been a part of my life! and everything that I did seems like forever to get any results. LOL! But I see, I really need to do dieting because I get fat too easily. I was a fat girl when I was in college, too and my lifestyle has changed a lot because of that. Now that I am pregnant, I do watch what I eat and can't help but be concern about it and all. I don't want to get any more bigger after my baby is out. And exercise is very important for me, too.

yes i have tried to diet many times but the maximumi could stuck to mhy dietwas for 4 days. I had weight problem 3-4 years back. I tried everything but it failed. then i joined gym and then i was able to loose 15 kilos in 65 months. now my weight is normal and do not need to to diet as i burn it out in gym. it much more easier than dieting.

i didnt try to diet, i ate anything i want and i still not get much increase on my weight. all i do is to walk everyday from our house to the gate of the company where i used to work. thats is a good exercise.

me personally i never tried a diet, but i also being a guy im sure not many guys do take part in diets! lol my diet is eat what i want when i want and play alot of sports and go for alot of runs :D

I had a food diet before because I got big just out of nowhere hehehe.. It was a little hard fighting your cravings every now and then especially if the food is within my reach. After a couple of months I got rid of my fats and now on my good fit. I don't mind what I eat most of the time, I have a small structured bones that's why I don't get that big, just a little bulky on my hips.

I have tried last year and it works great! i remember my friend losses 18 lbs using same products im using...its just expensive...cant afford anymore..the best I guess is self-discipline!

I started gaining weight in my 30's and in my 40's I am a bit overweight. I started reducing my carb (carbohydrate) intake when I found out I have high level of triglycerides. So from 172lbs I'm now at manageable 160 lbs. I still have some pounds to shed though and I walk a bit after each meal. It help keep my stomach small.

hi, my weight increase about 16 kg after I gave birth to my fourth children. I have tried many ways to reduce my weight. But.. ha..ha..ha... it still the same. recently I walk 1 km a day and now I lost 3kg.

i've ever tried to diet but never work with me... i don't know why...

Hi Gabrielle, Often, I have been taking the 'vow' to follow a strict diet program inspite of my wishes of eating high-fatty, cholesterol, blah, blah... Yet, I couldn't follow a strict diet. Sometimes I tend to starve, but to no anvil. I am sure only a few gifted persons would have really followed diet and would have been much successful. All others should be just watchng them:-(
