Alright. I'm going at this again! im 5'8 and i weigh 175. =[ I've tried in the past to loose weight and i always seem to fail or find a way to get off track. Im lookin for some inspiration and some tips to make it easier. I'm still in school and i work part-time so i keep fairly active. i hate the thought of having to get n the tredmile and run. Any ideas to make this easier and keep going? How about easy healthy meal choices? I try to eat alot of chicken breasts and rice.. but i need some more variety! Thanks for any help!

The whole world has gone “low fat” crazy — and most people think that if they just begin eating low fat foods then their bodies will have less fat too.


You see, the problem with this type of thinking is that there is no “direct” relationship between fat calories eaten and fat tissue on a person’s body.


The truth is that your body can convert ANY type of calorie to fat tissue, not just fat calories.

For example, if you eat 2 lbs. of sugar every day then you’ll probably gain some fat tissue after a while – but yet sugar has ZERO FAT CALORIES in it. So eating 2 lbs. of sugar every day is a “fat free” diet, but yet you’d still gain fat.


Likewise, if you eat a huge bowl of white rice at every single meal then you’d soon gain fat tissue on your body – but yet this is a fat free food too


You should stop thinking “non fat” and “low fat”– since those are just buzz words designed to make you feel as though such foods are healthy.


The truth is that you don’t need to worry about “fat” calories so much, and you also don’t need to worry about total “carbs” so much either…


What you need to worry about is the exact types of foods that you combine together at each meal, so that you get the proper portion of fat calories and carbs at each meal – which will maximize weight loss.

I tried this lose 10 pounds in 5 weeks program and it officially worked.  I joined Jenny Craig and started exercising just as Martica put it and it worked great.  I still have more to lose, and I'm just going to repeat the program another 5 weeks and get the same success!  Good luck!

Just want to say that I used this workout about 4 months ago and had wonderful results.  I ended up losing nearly 30lbs.  I really liked how the workout was time specific so my mind was always preoccupied.  Anyway, with a low calorie (1200-1600) food plan, the weight really does come off.  I felt really strong and the results are beneficial.

Amy, you said it better than I could have. Except I did better when I was divorced. Now remarried, I'm having a hard time buying and eating healthy! But you're right--I need to take charge and be the boss of ME!

I am single recently and my problem is cooking. I was used to cooking for my husband and three kids (all grown now). I've now gotten into the habit of going to the store and buying chips, pop, cookies and chocolate. It's a quick fix and cures my cravings. It's easier than going to the trouble of cooking a meal for myself. I've recently gained about 10 lbs because of this. What I need to do is get serious, stop this pattern, make my calories one day and stay away from the store. If I stock my fridge and cupboards with healthy foods I do much better. I say I'll lose these 10 lbs in less that 4 weeks if I'm die hard serious. I've done it before. I refuse to be overweight for summer. Even with this extra 10 lbs ****'s miserable dressing for work or something special. When you're at your ideal weight, dressing is an after though, doing your hair, makeup or having more time in the morning is the real reward. I hate feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. Yuck! Oh, and I look 10 years older because of the junk I'm putting in me, sugar, salt, more sugar. That has to stop. Water here I come!!! It is personal choice, stop blaming everyone and everything and take charge of your life. Nothing is more rewarding than being the boss of you. =)

Honey928- Don't give up!  Stay positive, you can do it.  I am 5'0" and am at 145lb.  My goal is 130, so I have 15lb.  They feel like the hardest pounds anyone ever had to lose.  If you think positive (I am beautiful no matter what, and I can do anything I put my mind to) and stick to your plan, you can do anything.  I drink lots of water, and eat lots of fruit and vegetables, and make sure you get all your fiber in for the day.  So far, that has helped me.

Mike Geary (a personal trainer) recently published a very informative article on his website about weight loss.He emphasizes working out is important; however, where he differs from what you have probably heard and read before is that he doesn’t go on about how you need to just buckle down and do hours up on hours of sit ups or cardio work.You need to know what is really important to see fast results. It might surprise you to know that it isn’t an hour a day of cardio or 500 sit ups a day.

He also explains exactly which exercises you should be doing and he shows them specifically with pictures and explains the right way and the wrong way to do them, so that there is no confusion. On top of that he makes it clear that you do not have to even join a gym and he gives you exercises that you can do from the comfort of your own home that will work wonders for you and give you better results than most people get that go to the gym 3-4 times a week.

You will get and extensive and in depth explanation of food and diet and the right ratios of what to eat and when, to achieve optimum results. You will also get a detailed meal plan that you can follow everyday so that you don’t have to worry about what to eat; it’s all laid out for you.
