Starting over again...

I think you need to not avoid the things you crave. It would be better to give yourself a small amount of the foods you like than to avoid them altogether. It seems like if you try to stay away from them, you will feel guilty if you "fall off the wagon" by consuming them after avoiding them for as long as you can. You should eat a variety of foods and not just the same thing day in and day out. Are you eating any vegetables? You should eat more fruits as well. It would be better to go back to nature when eating than to eat processed foods. I don't know much about the wholemeal diet bread, but I think you would be better off eating some fruit and maybe an egg or something like that. You need to have a balance of all the food groups throughout the day. If you know that eating too many carbohydrates (bread, rice) makes you gain, then you should try to eat more fruits and vegetables, especially raw ones since they have the most nutrition. I have pretty much given up on dieting mostly because it is not good for you to not have a balanced healthy diet. I haven't worried much about my weight over the recent past because although I'm a little overweight, my other health problems made it so the doctors didn't want me to lose weight. Now that I'm done with chemotherapy, I will be able to consider eating a healthier diet and getting some exercise as my body allows. I hope you are able to succeed! Have a great week!!!

Hi my friend! So you're in diet huh?! You should watch "The Biggest Looser" of ABS-CBN for some tips,hehe! Honestly me friend,it takes a lot of discipline to pursue our goal or plan. I for one has this goal of having an exercise at least 3x a week,I even made a discussion out of this and I'm happy to know the tips of my friends here and some mylotters on their exercises schemes. It helped a lot! I now exercise,lol! But sometimes still lazy,waaaa!!! The key to your success is consistency my friend. Just be consistent about your daily diet and for sure you'll get what result you want,hehe! Goodluck my friend!

They say the key to this is discipline. I am also trying to do some dieting..cutting down carb and calorie intake..but like you after a few try i do get tempted again to what i love and often times those are loaded with carb and calories! But this time i am also determine to make this work..but am not eating wholemeal diet bread or something..just cutting down from rice and carbo loaded stuff..

I made a full life style change. Though I was not big to begin with I use to be a terrible roller coaster dieter. I use to starve to be thin. My son actually was my mentor in assuring I stopped the crazy dieting. So 3 years ago he and I went to buy a really nice home bicycle which has Jillian Michaels voice which controls the pedals so I can't cheat. Along with daily exercising, my son encouraged me to drink water. I never drank water in my life until 3 years ago and now I do not drink sugar juices and or colas at all. I drink almost a gallon of water daily. My son said mom if you go to a gym it will take you 30 mins to get there and 30mins to come home. So do one hour at home. I began eating healthy, drinking water and one hour on the bike Mon through Friday. I lost 70pounds in four months and am very thin. I actually had to stop the 5 days and now only do half hour a day for 3 days a week for cardio and for 3 years kept them off, eat normally, but healthy, still drink water and my metabolism is high. Therefore, this goal I set out to achieve, I achieved. As my son said to me, it is a life changing decision one has to make and he is right.

I have been doing vigorous exercise the past 2 months, for 1 hour every other day, after work. My supper would really be only a few spoonful of rice and viand. So far, my tummy ( my target area) has already flattened a bit. In fact, my pants have already loosened up. Good luck, my friend. Just be determined to do them. You can do it.

I don't need to lose weight, but I do need to do weight training. My goal is to do aerobics exercises plus weight training at least 3x per week, but that for me is so difficult. I also would like to eat less junk food and more healthy food, like japanese food. I will start to do that after the end of my vacation! Good luck to you too! :)

I don't know any tips, I am sux at dieting. I just can't help it, my mom always cook something awesome whenever I eat less. I totally think it's awesome that you can go on a diet. Since instead of dieting, I tried burning more calories. Do something that can burn what I eat.

Hi adnileb: I wish you the best luck. Don't give up. I also sometimes go on a diet when I think I need it. And in my personal experience I've seen that discipline is the key to have the best results. You just need to focus on your goals and you'll do it. ALVARO

Wow, I wish you luck. Then I could go following your method of dieting. Didn't we agree to have an overweight society before?

No, I don't do diet plans. I don't think I can stick to it for long. I eat whatever I want and whenever I want, but I'm not overweight. I do take rice for breakfast sometimes and once in a while I skip lunch, but not always. I know it is a difficult task to be on a diet plan. Keep it up, girl. I know you can do it.

I have started a diet and I am still on it for the past month and a half so I hope I can keep it up as long as possible. So far I am succeeding in keeping on my diet but I always have cravings to eat some candy or something. The only word of advice is to try to keep your mind off of food, try to keep your self occupied. Right now it is summer and I can go by my own schedule so if I feel hungry I either log on my computer or just go to sleep if I have no plans for the day. Maybe put sticky notes in you kitchen saying "REMEMBER YOUR DIET". Best of luck to you!

Ohh diet is one thing I can never stick to!! I have had 2 failed diets this year so far i get so bad cravings that I end up eating what I want to!! I'm thinking of starting a diet again but not so soon I guess hahah!! Anyway good luck for your diet. I know you can do it Just try and stick to it for 21 days coz people say if you do something for 21 days, it turns into a habit and it's not so difficult after that. Good luck

Hello adnileb, Its not necessary that to loose wait you need to starve yourself what is important is to do lot of physical work like jogging,skipping rope,cycling,swimming and many more which a gym trainer would tell you better and with that eat healthy food.This is myth that people loose wait just by controlling diet.

Good luck with this diet... Everyone I've asked about loosing weight say exercise is the key. Change your daily tasks, maybe walk to the shops, walk to work and eating healthily will follow once you get into a routeen.

Good luck! I think that a diet is like a bra...it has to fit the person just right. If this one doesn't work for you don't get discouraged. I have had a ton of goals. Some I have accomplished and some..well...I changed..lol...not failed..just didn't see the importanc after a certain amount of time. Take care.

Wow, I wish you luck. Then I could go following your method of dieting. Didn't we agree to have an overweight society before?

For starters, I hope you are on Synthroid for your thyroid condition. Having a Thyroid condition makes it hard to loose weight. Now, I am a diabetic and I cannot eat rice or any other carb. So I found it easy to loose weight just staying away from all carbs. However, I do have to offset all that protein with vegetables. It seems to work for me. Maybe you could try that instead of eating bread and rice or carbs in general. I do not eat any cake or candy either because of the sugar. Sugar in itself is a carb and causes weight gain. Whatever diet you do, you need to exercise along with it. Hope this helps.

The longest you implemented your diet was 2 weeks? I have to commend you for that.It is not always easy to change a habit , especially eating habit. I planned to go on an excercise that will flatten my stomach, that was 2 months ago, but I am yet to take the first step. I will always come up with excuses on why I have not started, it will either be that am to busy with work or I don't have the necessary tools. but in reality it was a question of me struggling to change my routine. So far well done to you and keep it up. You have just given me the boost to start.
