When you guys say "diet" how long do you plan to stay on it? A couple of weeks? A year? Untill you loose enough weight? Then you easily go back to the way you were before, eating a lot. After you've finished your diet you always end up gaining all the weight again. If any of you are serious about loosing weight, dieting is not the answer. Loosing weight or being healthy is a life changing process! You have to be prepared to change your life for the better. TRAIN yourself to eat healthier and actually excersize at least 3-4 times a week. Its more efficient if you do this slowly and surely. You want to make yourself look good for a life time, not for a month and then gain it all back again. When you have a craving for food or for 2nd helpings remember that food is the reason your changing your life and try to resist temtation. The more you become accustomed to healthy foods, the more you like the taste of them! Remember you can try every diet in the book and still not be able to shed the pounds, or just gain them all back after you go off the diet. But when you change your life to become healthier you not only look good but your happier too.
