I don't eat in between meals. I just eat three times a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner. In between meals is really a big factor to gain weight. I limit also myself in eating to fast food chains because those foods contains high calories. Have some exercise too. Don't just sit down all day so that the excess calories will be burned.

well i think our stomach gets used to practically no food at all. So when you finally decide you've lost enough wait and actually want to eat a normal sized meal, you're going to gain wait like crazy because you'll be overfeeding that teeny stomach.
Also, I never intended to lose weight, but I fell sick and lost 2kg in one week*unintentionally*. But I still suffer the consequences.
hat u could do, however, is to cut down your meals in porportion. Meaning, dat you eat the same stuff you always do, BUT you make dem slightly smaller portions.
Also, cut down on soft drinks and sweets. Go with the diet version of this stuf.Exercise regularly but don't become crazy with it. It will harm you.
This advice sounds cliche, but it does the trick better than anything else, without making you compromise on your health.
Taking those liquid meals and slimming pills have known to have distarous effects on many, and there's no saying who the next victim will be.i think that this will be useful.BYE

Step 1 Once you reach target, add 250 calories a day to your existing daily calorie intake. This means if you’ve been having 1,250 calories each day, you should now have 1,500 calories a day.
Step 2 After a week, weigh yourself on your usual scales. You’ll probably have lost a little more weight. If so, add another 250 calories to last week’s daily allowance. So, if you were having 1,500 calories a day, now have 1,750 calories daily.
Step 3 After a week, weigh yourself again. If you’ve lost more weight, add an extra 250 calories to your daily intake, for example from 1,750 calories to 2,000 calories each day.
Step 4 After a week, if your weight has stabilised that’s the amount of calories you need each day to keep your new slim shape. If you’ve gained a tiny amount, drop your daily calorie intake by 100 calories, for example, from 2,000 calories to 1,900 calories daily. After a week, weigh yourself again. If your weight has stayed the same, that’s the amount of calories you need each day for weight maintenance. If your weight has gone up or down, juggle your daily calorie intake by 50 calories a day until your weight eventually stabilises.
Step 5 Weigh yourself once a week on your usual scales until you are confident that you’re maintaining your healthy weight.

STAY AWAY FROM SUGAR! That is perhaps one of the most important things to remember when trying to lose weight. Just switching from regular soda to diet is a big help, and eating sugar free things instead of candy and other sugary things really makes a difference. Also, switching from white bread to whole wheat helps. Little things really do add up! :)

Read this article in the newspaper for Quick and easy tips to burn fat. Check it out.
1 Commit yourself to 10 minutes of continuous exercise as you wake up. Choose only three movements and perform each in succession non stop for 10 minutes. For example, on Monday you can perform modified push-ups, followed by crunches for your abs followed by stationary lunges. On Tuesday, you can perform free-standing squats with hands on hips, double crunch for abs and close grip modified push-ups for your triceps. Take a quick breather when you need it.
2 Time yourself while walking in your neighborhood. If it takes 10 minutes to walk to a certain destination near your office or in your neighborhood, try to make it in eight minutes.
3 Try to use the staircase as often as possible. Tell yourself that you’ll take the stairs six or eight times (no matter what) a day.
4 While seated, perform some isometric exercise to help strengthen and tighten your muscles. For example, when you are seated, simply contract the abdomen for 30 seconds while breathing naturally. You can also tighten and contract your legs for 60 seconds. Perform about three sets per area. You’ll feel your muscles get tighter in just three weeks if you do this a few times every week.
5 Exercise as you watch TV. Try this technique: Take periodic five-minute exercise breaks during the commercial breaks and perform some muscle-stimulating and calorie-burning exercise. For example, take five minutes and perform only ab crunches. Then, when it’s time for another five-minute break, perform modified push-ups. During the final five-minute break, perform stationary lunges. Try to do as much as possible in five minutes and increase the number of reps during each subsequent break. It won’t seem a hurricane task as it’s only five minutes at a time, split over a 30 or 60-minute timeframe.
6 Perform one exercise per day for seven to 10 minutes. For example, Monday: free-standing squats for seven minutes. Tuesday: chair dips for seven minutes. Wednesday: crunches and hip lifts off the floor for seven minutes. Thursday: modified push-up for seven minutes. Friday: stationary lunges for seven minutes. It’s quick, simple and teaches consistency.
7 Want things even simpler? Take the longest route every time you have to walk somewhere — even if it’s to loo.
8 Double-up the stairs. Every time you take the stairs, simply take a double step, or every alternate stair. It will be just like lunges and the stairmaster combined. Great exercise for the legs and butt.
9 Be on the move when you are cooking or cleaning. While you are in the kitchen, try to break into a mild jog or dance, while food is on the oven. Also you could broom and mop your house. That’s a workout on its own.
10 Perform any of the above exercises with your spouse or friend. The support will further motivate and energise you to get going on your workout timetable everyday.

You have to cut down the calories you consume and burn more calories with exercise and activity. That's the bottom line.
I am taking an all-natural supplement called Hoodia Gordonii as a natural appetite suppressant. It is working amazingly- I'm actually quite surprised.
