I know many here have talked about losing weight and have tried many different ways to do it.
I would like to say that for some losing the weight is very easy, but, hard to keep off. For some losing and keeping off is very hard.
One no matter what they do in order to lose weight need to be patient with themselves. It does not usually come off overnight. You have to work very hard at it and find ways you can do it and keep the weight off as well. Good luck to those wanting to lose weight. It is not easy and very hard task. Do not give up.

People do these diets and they gain it back when they want food.
Change the food for good and the weight won`t come back.

Andria,
I found out that diets do not work. I learned giving up things forever and cutting down on sweets and eating less at mealtime. If you are not hungry do not eat. Drink more in between meals. Do not eat and exercise a lot and walk if you can. Also, people have to lose the weight only for themselves and only when they are ready to do it.

You are right it very difficult to follow any diet plan you choose to reduce your weight. The bigger problem is the weight lost by following most of these plans gets restored as soon as you leave the plan. in effect all the trouble you have taken to loose the weight is useless. The best thing is eat normally eat well never exceed the limits and exercise regularly.

I find diets are not the answer. I find giving up things that are not good at all for us and cutting down and I only eat two meals a day and do not eat in between meals anymore. I drink instead. That is not true what I have done is the right way for me. Everyone has to find their own journey. I found mine and for the last 2 years, almost 3 I have kept it off and plan on not gaining it again.

I have played with my weight lately. I am 145 pounds but I am trying to increase it to 150 because people say I look thin. I was 150 early last year but I trimmed down to 145 by July. This morning I weighed 149 pounds.

Do you think you are too thin and need to gain weight? You are getting closer to 150.

That is great Amber. It is a real battle to keep weight off after we worked so hard to lose it. I worked very hard to get where I am today. For a long time I could not look at food and want it. Now, I can look at food and not be hungry. So true when you give up things you see how bad they were to us. I do not eat candy anymore or cookies. I do eat sweets but not like I once did.

@Hannihar Yes it was and here I am doing it again. When I lost it the last time I was working a few jobs and was so busy I never gained it back. Now I am retired for a few years and have been enjoying life. So here I am doing it again but these past 2 weeks I have started to exercise a lot more than I have the last couple of years.

@Hannihar I'm slim .But I'm told that drinking warm water mixed with one or two spoonfuls of honey and lemon juice helps reduce weight.

I have drank hot water with honey in it. I found my own way to lose weight and hopefully will keep it off this time.

It did not have anything to do with losing weight for me. It has to do with I do not eat at night and only drink so that is a drink I drink.

I think one has to know when the time is right for them to find their own journey into losing weight and keeping it off for good.

It is also change the way you eat. Also patience because it does not always show that you lost right away.

Faye so true. Those that are thin and do not have to worry about that maybe worry about wanting to the weight on and have a problem doing it.

@Hannihar True, like my mom. Her weight loss is due to multiple surgeries - but she struggles to keep weight on. Currently on a medicine to help her gain, and I push high calorie at her every chance I get

@Hannihar I do not feel deprived. I did not tell you that I often drink two Slim Fast shakes and 3 snacks with a nice size meal. I know that many people are now going to tell me off on myLot about this diet. I like the diet, so if I like the diet, why not do it? What I still have are my mochas and cappuccino. Like I said, I do not deprive myself.
