people seem to think that stopping eating at a certain time of night prevents storage of fat when your metabolism calms for the night but what they're really doing is cutting down calories. i've read in quite a few places that it doesn't matter when you eat- it's the overall ratio of calories consumed:burned that determines your weight gain/loss.

YES! i love my boyfriend's siter and my mentor anf friend. she gave me this really great p.m. conditioning for weight loss yoga set for my yule gift! i really love it and i plan on trying it out tomorrow night. i'm hoping it'll help with my semi-insomniac behavior lately by relaxing me while helping me lose weight. i plan to do taebo for 30 min. first thing in the morning to get me energized and to burn calories and to use my new yoga set at night to calm me down and stretch out my muscles and tone...

Hi Jessica, Try to use as little butter as possible or use a low fat spread. Tell you parents that you are going to give up chips etc as a new years resolution so you dont want any fatty foods for dinner. Gte an aerobics book out of the library and do some. If you have a stairs, run up and down it. Try and go swimming regularly with a friend because it is a really good and fun way to get exercise.

Ht. 5'5", Start: 158 lb, Today: 126 lb (BMI %tile: 66), Goal: 115 lb - hey, everyone's been asking me how i went from 5'3" 158 pounds to 5'4.5" 126.5 pounds. well the first thing i wanna say is that it was not easy. weight loss is not any easy goal to acomplish, so if you dont suceed the first time dont give up, it'll take a couple of tries before it actually works. over summer i was very active. i didnt go out and take a jog or anything, just normal activities, walking around with friends, swimming, stuff like that. i also watched what i was eating. it took awhile to get it all off, but eventually it did. be patient and dont give up. good luck everyone!

The best way to start losing weight is to set a reasonable goal.
Then, start by cutting down your portion size at meals. If you serve yourself, just take one scoop of pasta less than you normally take. If your mom serves you, or you have tv dinners, cafeteria lunches, etc... then just leave a little bit of each thing on the plate.
In regards to junk food, put a small amount in baggies; then put the baggies in a special cupboard.
Allow yourself one a day.
Also, if you find yourself sneaking food because you don't want your mom to know you are eating (I did that alot), ask yourself why you are sneaking it. If you need to sneak it, do you really need to be eating it?
Good luck!

Don't take on more tha you can hadle. It's not that I don't think you can't handle it, it's just that sometimes I make a huge plan for myself instead of taking it a day at a time. this makes me overwhelmed. I try to make smaller goals.

eat the healthiest stuff first before you dig into the yummy stuff that you know you won't be able to stop and eat as slow as you can- put your fork down between bites so you'll notice the full feeling sooner...

hey yall wuts crackalackin? I'm just tryin to tell ya, that no matter what diet you are on, it is easier to stay on it if you plan your meals ahead of time. I dont really know about planing your activities time, cause i know that i irritate myself when i do that and i dont stick to it, but when you plan your meals, ya have to eat and then you know exactly what you should eat, and how much of it you need to fill you up. talk to ya later-peace out

just eat less then you do- change your eating habits slight ly- only drink water and eat way more veggies and way less junk food and less carbs. you can do things that'll shave off pounds without making it complicated. also up your exersize- do a lot of cardio and a few days of weight lifting with free weights(which are really cheap- i got two 5lb ones at tj max for 10 dollars)you might want to invest on a fun cardio work out tape such as taebo because it's worth it and doesn't cost that much. also- drink 3 cups of green tae a day and as much water as you can and have at least 4 servings of veggies. good luck!cut back on those calories!

I know it is really hard to get into a routine because i just started a routine about 2 months ago. My family started to workout every morning, not a hard workout but a little one, about 20 minutes long. Just walk or something. Then once you get in that routine start cutting back on some foods. Something that I cut out was soft drinks. I cut out all sugary drinks. It was really hard for a week or so then it started getting easy. A good place to workout would be a gym or something, because if your just at home by yourself than you probably won't feel as motivated as you would if you were at a gym, because there are people around. I've been doing this for about 2 months and have lost about 15 pounds so far. It takes time but when you get into the habit of doing this than it will be a whole lot easier.
