I am trying to get in shape for my wedding and I am having a difficult time. App 2 years ago I lost 60lbs by taking effedra. Now I am trying to maintain the weight and I have gained 15lbs since. I was just wondering if anyone had any words of wisdom or tips for success....

DO YOGA! It gives you a great butt, flat abs, and incredible arm muscles. It lenghtens you whole body. Unfortunately, I have been doing it for so long, I needed to add something else to take off the weight I want to lose so I joined curves as well. But when I first started I lost so much weight and changed my body shape.

I lost weight this way. I cut out foods that were high in fat, no red meat or pork. I only ate chicken and fish. If I wanted to snack I would have Baked Lays or Snack Wells cookies. The dressing on my salads were either just viniger or lo-fat dressing. I gave up mayo. For toast or sandwhiches low-cal whole wheat bread. I rarely ate pasta. It was difficult at first but I lost the weight.

All you need to do is exercise. That will help you keep the weight off. I come from a family with lots of health issues so I struggle with this. I would suggest getting a pedometer and trying to monitor your activity. The American heart Association recommends that everyone should take 10,000 steps per day. I usually average 6-8,000 a day (it's hard when you work). But I also try to work out 3-5 times a week on top of that.
But find a type of exercise that you like to do and definitely mix it up.
HTH !

Drink a lot of water. - and exercise. DO NOT cut out EVERYTHING and deprive yourself - b/c you'll lose the weight and then gain it all back plus the second you put a piece of cake in your mouth !! - Just eat everything in moderation and exercise. You'll drop those extra 15 before the wedding !! Good Luck !!

Portion control and calorie counting. Plan out your meals- keep a journal of what you are eating- helps you stick to the diet if you need to write everything down. In order to lose weight, you should be eating 1000 to 1200 calories a day and exercising. It's not about starving yourself- it is about portion control and being active.

Atkins, but I only do it to a point. I have my own version and I go to the gym 5 days a week and take pilates.

Get a friend to exercise with you!!! Join a class at a gym, having people around you will help motivate you.

I have a friend that lost 10 pounds with the special K diet. You have the cereal twice a day and either eat a sensible lunch or dinner. You also can have two pieces of fruit. She said she never felt hungry and for lunch or dinner she had whatever she wanted. She said she ate the cereal with fat free milk for breakfast and dinner and just ate a healthy lunch. And she walks.
