What has helped you lose weight?

I've always been thin, and, given how I eat most of the time, there is no danger of me ever being overweight. I eat a primarily vegetarian diet (with a bit of fish maybe three or four times a month) that features a lot of fresh, local vegetables. I don't add refined sugar to my food. I use natural sweeteners instead in my cooking. I also like to add heat to my food in the form of hot peppers; this, of course, keeps my metabolism high. That isn't why I do it, but that is the end result.

Hi Mominique25, I do my best to have 40 min or so of evening walk around the neighborhood regularly. Cutting down the amount of eating sweet and fatty food would bring great help to lose weight It's rather difficult initially as chocolate and cheese cake as well as cheese and milk coffee and roast chicken are all my favorite food Anyway for healthy sake I have to force myself to take a little only. It's yet better than to stop eating all of them lol... Happy posting

Inspiration helped me a lot. I hang one of the dress that I really wish to wear in my bedroom- right at the back of my door. Each time I saw it, it inspires me to lose weight and keep me off from unwanted foods or having extra food. And I can say that it really works for me.

It takes time. You haven't Been at it that long:) Lots of fruits and veggies. Stay away from sugar that's not natural sugar. Something sweet once a week won't hurt;) Lean more towards organic, I know how hard that can be and expensive... Here at least. Water water water!!! Seriously water! Move, just move. Walk or jog in place. Do some jumping jacks while watching tv. Go for walks. You'll do great:)

Lots of fruits and vegetables. I use to eat lot of rice. But when i stopped it completely i started losing weight.

Discipline is the best to lose weight. If you want to lose weight you discipline yourself from eating and have proper exercise.

I am overweight, and I have lost some weight, and then end up putting some of it back on again. I just haven't found anything that will help me to lose weight and keep it off. I am on a yo you weight loss, where it goes up and down, and I cann never decide what my weight really is. I do try to eat properly, and that can be hard to do at times, as there are lots of food out there that are so tempting to eat, and really aren't all that great for me. I will not give up though, as I know I can do it, as I do believe it takes a lot of willpower to be able to meet my goals in my weigh loss program. I drink my fuits every morning, and i think that does help too, plus, I do eat celery sticks and baby carrots. I know I will get there in time, as it doesn't happen overnight. I didn't put it on overnight, and I won't take it off overnight either. Take care, and have a very good day.

I mean pressure and this made me feel so bad and think of lot of things in daytime,i believe doing exercise also helps a lot and you may benefited from it.lol,anyway,this may still has something to do with personal health condition.

I want to lose my weight, too. And in fact I have tried a lot of ways such as eating less and doing more sports. In my opnion, running is the best way that has helped me lose weight. At the begining, maybe you will be upset bacuase it seems nothing happens in your weight. But if you keep doing this, you will get a big surprise when you find yourself really lost weight.

Determination is the key to lose weight.. if you are determine to eat right and exercise everyday for sure you will lose weight.. I did some diet and exercise and now I see the result.. I watched what I eat and I exercise everyday., if I can I walked for 30 mins a day and I only eat lots of veggies and fruits and less rice.. sometimes I have cheats days but I maked it up by exercising..

I've tried losing weight on purpose, but it makes me depressed and unhappy. So although I might lose some pounds that way, I would always get it back by eating more afterwards. So now I no longer keep a diet on purpose, and live with the fact that I am a little 'chubby', and I gradually lose weight not because I did it consciously, but because I was busy with my own business. We've learned so much about how to lose weight, but it doesn't work on me. I think for me, losing weight should come natually.

well I have lost my weight by being one line work and forgetting to take my lunch and breakfast... in that way I have lost some weight.. and another way is just to take lemon juice with warm water in the morning and before going to sleep.

Stress makes me lose weight. When I am under a lot of stress, my weight goes down naturally. Being sick also makes me lose weight. Just this month I had cold and followed by cough. My weight had gone down about 3-4kg.

I was always slim and never tried having a diet to lose weight before. However, when I started working as an online instructor, I was sitting all the time and began gaining weight. I was 57 kg last January and my students offline always asked me to have a diet. They said I'm getting bigger and looking like a 'pig' (as Koreans say it) hahaha! Because I heard those kinds of comments everyday from them, I felt a little uncomfortable and tried to do some diet. I just did an after six (didn't eat anything from six pm), I did that for almost 3 weeks. I also ate rice only at lunchtime. After at least 2 weeks, my students began to notice that I'm getting slimmer.It's already April and I stopped doing after 6. Hoho! Anyway, I checked last Thursday and I weighed 49 kg. I don't know if it's good or bad after doing something to lose weight but it's enough for me.. Hihi!
