Weight Loss

I'm nearly in the same place as you are. Don't try too ard or become desperate. Go to www.caloriecount.com Helps a lot if you're trying to lose weight. and always stand up and walk after a meal. Really makes a difference

I have been obese for a good portion of my life. Tried many diets, even lost a little weight on my own through exercise. And I have finally found a way that works. Weightwatchers works. I have lost 24 pounds so far. My sister has lost over 70 pounds on weightwatchers. I have been on the program since October and my sister has been on it over a year. So you can keep on it long term and it does work.

I am also currently trying to lose weight and like you I am hoping that it helps my self-esteem. I've been on my current weight loss program for a little over a week. I have lost 5 pounds and I'm so happy about it. Basically, I've tried to cut back high calorie and high fat meals. I normally eat a bowl of Special K for breakfast or an apple, for lunch I have a turkey with mustard sandwich on wheat bread and cottage cheese with peaches or pineapples. For dinner, I have been eating either a salad with fat free dressing, a bowl of Special K, low calorie soup, or a low calorie stir fry. I exercise atleast 30 minutes every day and I drink ONLY WATER! I can't stress how much water helps when trying to lose weight. I've also been trying this too. It is a mixture I drink before bed and 30 minutes before I eat breakfast. You take on cup of water and bring it to a boil. Pour it in a half teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Let it cool for 30 minutes and had 1 teaspoon of honey, stir and drink half of it. Cover the other half and put it in the refrigerator. In the morning, 30 minutes before you eat drink the rest of the mixture. You don't heat it back up, drink it cold or set it out and let it get room temperature. It doesn't taste the greatest, but I heard that it helped lose weight and at this point, I'm willing to try anything. Good luck with you weight loss! I hope both of us can do it!
