this is an everyday thing i do not no if it will work or not with u everyone is differnt:
breackfast: 2 pieces of toast and glass of milk
lunch: pb and j sandwhich with anykind of fruit as much fruit as u want
dinner: whatever u usually eat like if u eat ur whole plate then cut it in a half or a third if u are still hungrey after that then eat fruit or veggies
REMEMBER TO DRINK PLENTY OF WATER AND TO EXERCISE FOR 10-40 MINS. 3 TIMES A WEEK. if that is less then u usually eat then u should lose about 2-5 pounds a week so that would mean by the time june comes around you will have lost somewhere between 26 and 65 pounds it all depends on how fast or slow ur matabolism is.
love ya
lili
p.s. hope u see some results soon!!!

I was just wondering if anyone has any info on low fat diets? Is it better to count calories or focus on the amount of fat you are eating? Thanks to any replies!

Calorie counting diets and low fat diets both work. You could try either, but low fat diets are healthier and easier to keep doing long term!!! If you go on a calorie counting diet, you will have to stay on it forever otherwise you will definitely gain the weight back. Low fat diet should become a "way of life" and will keep you healthy when you are old. Don't try a low fat and low calorie diet it is too restricting and unless you are planning to become anorexic (bad choice - I used to be one so I know!) you will gain the weight back as soon as you stop! Low fat is absolutely best!!!

One of the best things to do that usually will always work(unless you have a medical problem that makes it difficult to lose any weight) is cut out the unhealthy fats(grease, lots of butter....ect), white flour(white bread..ect) and large amounts of sugar(any type of pastry, candy...) and get at least 30 minutes of any kind of active movement every day. Building muscle is also a great way to lose weight because for every 3 pounds of muscle you have you have, you will burn an extra 150 calories. Hope these help, good luck!

hey, im doing the same thing you are, eating healthier foods and not eating junk, i also only eat 3 meals, i heard that drinking lots of water helps too and you should also exercise. Exercising is great too! Even if you walk for like an hour you burn off a few calories, those calories will add up everyday and you will see results, i also lost 10 pounds in about 2 weeks doing the same thing you are, good luck to u! byee

what you can do is go to a gym and work out with some friends.or go to a dietician just in case you do not know what a dietician it is a person who helps you lose weight by giving you some papers on what to eat and stuff like that I my self is going to one soon because I weigh 179 Ilb I am losing kinda by riding my bike and jogging around my trailer park.for snacks I eat frut or veggies . every once in a wile I have a cany bar.if you have a scale you can weigh your self every week for example I weigh my self every Saturday.I do not worry about what other people say I just enore them well got to go by

Here is a little tip, I've always found it easier to lose weight as a "side effect". What i mean by that is that losing weight has always been better for me when it's a surprise. I think the best way to go about this is to start a training regimine, for a sport, or just for personal health. There are many sites on the net devoted to training and cross training for sports. Pick up and program and track your progress by things such as how long you can run and how much weight can you bench. That way, you get two self esteem boosters-progressing as far as health, and weightloss. Trust me, success is sweeter this way. Good luck!

Ok, here is what ya do, there are two methods that work real good for food, 1 is counting calories, although i don't recommend that for people who don't have the time or might forget, but it can improve your math skills. Write down all the foods you eat and record how many calorie's you've consumed either from boxes that the food was in, cook books index, or searching that food on the internet, you'll want to eat between 1300-1600 calories. Or, the other method, you can either eliminate snacks, or only eat fruit and veggies for snacks. Then, make sure you eat breakfast, a small lunch, and for dinner, NO SECONDS!, try to make up your meal 1/2 veggies/ fruit 1/4 carbs (pasta, potatoes) 1/8 meat and 1/8 fats (that would be considered desert, like ice cream, only 1 scoop!). Ok, the next part is the hardest, because you have to make sure you DO IT! I recommend that you pick up and exercise...

I recommend tae bo w/ billy blanks, it's great! If you can't spare the money, then you'll want to either start walking, running, or jump roping. In walking walk 20 minutes a day building up to an hour. In running, start at 5 minutes jogging and increase to 40 minutes! In jumproping, start with 4 sets of 70 jumps, and work your way up to 12 or 15 sets!, or even 7 sets of 150 jumps! Also try push ups, sit ups, and crunches to get toned in your arms and stomach.

O my gosh ppl!A few days ago I went to McDonalds, Don't Ever Go There in Your Life Time!! I went to there website to see how many calories I ate, I had a Big'n'Tastey (without cheese), Value Meal- The Burger Alone was 540 calories, and the regular medium Fries were 450, and instead of a regular diet coke, I got a Medium chocolate milkshake, It was 580. Talk About dieing before your 30, I suggest not going there, The total of what I thought was a smaller meal(Think If Your Ussually got supersized fries- 610 calories) The total of what I had was 1570 calories!! Outrageous!! I'm Never eating there again. According to the Nutrition Facts all the food really is, is Sodium, and Fat, Yes FAT, exactly what all of us here are trying to get rid of! I hope this Makes you think twice before you even pull into the parkinglot. Lord knows i'm never going there again. Talk to you all later bye! (p.s.- Think twice)

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.

Ok, alot of people don't seem to understand the word diet. Many people make it out to be depriving yourself for a month or so then goin bak to ur old habits... WRONG. It isn't about depriving yourself its about eating healthier even if you have some candy or chips once in a while. It's a lifestyle change. It has to be something you know you can live with permenantly.
