losing weight after the Holiday...

I think that the best time to actually lose weight is during the summer or when you have plenty of time to get started on a diet. I went from 220 lbs. to 180 lbs. in one summer, that would be three months. I cut a lot of things from my diet and I exercised everyday to lose all of that weight. Yes, you have to have the will power, but think about the rewards. I went from a size 20 to a size 14. It was amazing! Today, I am at 170 lbs. and it feels great to go to a clothing store and find clothes that fit me. I never stop exercising and I am sticking to my diet. The goal I have for the new year is to get a real job, manage my finances and to accomplish my goal of learning the entire English Language.

is it your new year resolution or what to reduce weight. well i am in such a shape that i don't really need to reduce my weight but if i put some 4/5 kgs then it would be okay. reducing weight isnt that difficult but you just have to maintain a proper diet and also have to do physical labour. in the morning if you drink a glassof water with a lemon juice in it. it helps reducing fats in the body. apart from that if you sweat a lot of doing what you like the most then also it will help in reducing fat and losing weight of the body.there are also so many different ways to lose weight. if you seriously want to lose it then foloow a dietician and also a trainer(physical).

I KNOW! You just need to be very disciplined. I think December and January and the most fattening months of the year. December because everyone wants to see their family and friends so obviously you'll be eating out a lot. And January because there will be a lot of cookies and sweets given during the Christmas season which will be sitting in your kitchen and begging to be eaten! Ugh!

I am trying to lose weight but it is very impossible this holiday season. With all the dilicious food, all the good snacks and everything i see in the table, i cant resist it, its mouth watering. Yum. Maybe i will pursue my diet plan afetr holiday. Happy new year.

I lost a lot of weight once and over the last ten years or so gained it all back. My dad is comming to visit in april so now i have to really buckle down and loose some weight. I started before christmas that way i wouldn't gain extra weight that i had to loose after christmas. The first week i lost 3 pounds and the week of christmas nothing. But i didn;t gain either. I just quit snacking and eat smaller portions and instead ice cream for desert we making fruit smoothies with our new blender. I need to exercise but i hate exercising.

I'd like to work hard and find a girlfriend who will living with me in whole life. That has been my dream years ago and wish to achieve it in 2009. happy 2009 mylotters

For me, it isn't so much losing weight as it is getting healthy. I need to move my fat butt and eat better. We grow our own veggies, but being winter, I hate buying produce in the store. So I eat more starches and fats. This is not good! So I am trying to shop smarter. And again, get my butt moving!

i hope u are able to do what u want. i need to lose weight to & quit smoking. maybe we'll both do better. happy new year!

hello nhey16, losing weight after the holidays has been a challenge with me as well. I have to work on it though that i need to cut off some of the meals that i am used to and limit my food in take as well but that doesn't mean that I have o starve myself. It just takes willpower and sacrifice without putting myself in jeopardy. Wish me best!!! thanks.

Hi nhey, my goal is to make more good and nice friends like you. take care have a nice day.

Hi Nhey16, Well at least you had an reason for gaining weight because of the birth of your daughter, but I have no excuse, ever since I started to use my computer, I have gain a lot of weight and I can't get into my jeans so I am going to start my exercised on the 2nd of Jan, wish me luck. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you my dear and have fun. Hugs. Tamara

I understand Nhey. I am a mother also and maintaining a weight that I can appreciate does not always come easy. The holidays don't help sometimes what with all of the good food displayed at family and friend's dinners. I think in the coming year I want to try to take care of myself a little more so I can be around for a long time with my family. Happy New Year.

I told myself that eating would be until today. and tomorrow i am going to start dieting , eating only the right foods and walking. i am determined to do this. or i would surely be sickly this year.

To losing weight, sound easy, in practice hard to do it. Need a good planning to make it happens. Like how much calories should consume everyday (may be need nutritionists) . Remember for exercise, or sport that we like, very good for our health. If we do it regularly, i think will succeeded. This is take a process too, the result won't be in short of time, may be need few weeks or even months, so be patience too. Have a nice holiday, and what your planning losing weight programs will succeeded.

Well, I am now 8 month pregnant, and I'll be due in February this year. After giving birth, I really need to keep fit and lose weight, hopefully I can maintain my size like I was before I got pregnant, which is about 40 - 41kg. Now, I am 50kg, the heaviest I've ever been.

Yes I need to get on the ban wagon of losing weight again.

Yup! You have the perfect mind set. I also convince myself in the same way - if I lost these pounds before then there's no stopping me to lose them again :D I started my regular routine of at least 30 minute exercise daily and helped cleaning up our house for extra exercise! Thanks for the comment on my discussion!

Hi Nhey16 , Upto my physic i wish to put some more weight this year and make myself look muscular. Right now i look a little below normal, so i think i will move to gym to make upto something what i desire. Happy 2009. Cheers and regards, forcashksd

I also gained 2pounds for the last christmas holidays and right now I am trying to shield those extra pounds because I felt that my tummy is beginning to look like a big lump in front of me and it is very uncomfortable. Right now I am doing body stretching, walking and jumping to regain my shape before. As for goal in 2009 well, I wish to land a job in writing, I mean a professional and full time writing gig because that's what I always wanted. I am working hard to hone my writing skills right now and hopefully find a lasting career in writing. I hope to study abroad also, preferably a short term course in screenwriting and filmmaking and make an indie film in the coming years. Hopefully.

My first aim is to get into M.I.T usa and i am looking forward in this spring season and also i am learning some german language and also wanna buy 80 gb i pos touch this month and many other too not able to say all fine if the year goes in a good way as i lost my friend in the starting in this year
