Do a modified Atkins - cut out as much sugar & carbs as possible.

* Drink lots of water * increase your fiber - Natural ovens has a low carb high fiber bread 5 grams per slice, eat beans, more cereal with fiber * Eat less carbs - try to eat it as early as possible, like for lunch * get some exercise - I go for a walk during my lunch hour * eat more vegetables and fruit * If you like eggs, use one whole egg and the whites of another

Weight Watchers is the only thing that has ever worked for me and you have a little under a month so no matter what you decide to do, you should do it right away.. Atkins had the same effect on me and slim fast always made me feel like I was starving!

Re: Any Weight Loss Tips?
I know this sounds like a lot of work, but it's so worth it!! Go buy the Body for Life book. It's a 12-week program, but I saw results right a way and when it comes down to it, it's only 20 to 30 minutes of excercise a day. But somehow that little cardio, combined with light weight training and a high protein, low fat, low carb diet is amazing!!!
You may not notice a change in the numbers on the scale, but your body will change so much, the fat turns into muscle and redistributes itself. It's the only thing that ever worked for me.
Good luck

Water, exercise, lots of fiber and....
SLEEP!!
Most people don't realize that you need to get enough sleep to lose weight. The same way starving makes your body hold onto food, sleep will do it as well.

I did WeightWatchers and I loved it, it was sooo easy and I still eat similar to the plan. I tried Body for Life, but it didn't work for me. You got one day to splurge, and I really splurged!! Good luck!

I started the South Beach Diet and I lost 10 pounds in two weeks. They give you a lot of food to eat so don't worry about starving. The first phase lasts 2 weeks. That is when you loose the most weight at once. Then you go to phase two which lets you eat GOOD Carbs. Oh I forgot to mention the first two weeks is no carbs, no sugar no caffine. Although I did have caffine I just reduced the amount.

Re: Any Weight Loss Tips?
You know, as Usuk2004, I used to be on the Body for Life Program, and it does work. I saw a wonderful difference, AND, it's a healthy way to eat.
Also, I would like to add that you should increase your water intake; also, lemon water is an excellent cleanser. I usually have a tall cup of hot water with one equal and squeeze about 3 lemons in the cup. It actually tastes pretty good. Or you can always use cold water instead of the hot water.
The great thing about the lemon water is that it also counts as the water intake for the day and it isn't as boring as plain water can be, especially after 8 glasses.
Good luck

Re: Any Weight Loss Tips?
What always works for me when I want to loose quickly but healthily (is that a word?)....the Special K diet. A bowl for breakfast and a bowl for lunch (with skim milk) and a healthy dinner. I usually also have a piece of fruit with breakfast and a Special K bar as a snack during the day if I still feel hungry. You can consume beverages normally, but I always shift to diet drinks and lots of water. It really works, but who the heck can eat Special K forever?? I usually switch it up with the Special K with strawberries so I'm not having a bowl of the same stuff 2x a day.
Good Luck!

South Beach Diet! It is has a two week Atkins type no unnatural carbs, fruits, sugars, starchy veggies like potatoes (but you can eat vegetables and beans), but you are also watching your fat (low fat cheese, lean meats, etc..) After 2 weeks you integrate fruits and whole grain carbs. Basically, its a low fat, high fiber diet. That plus regular exercise has worked for me!

Re: Any Weight Loss Tips?
I am a dietitian and deal with this question all the time. You need a diet with Balance, Variety, and Moderation. Some other tips would be: Watch your sugar intake and count calories. Think of calories as money. You want to make them go along way. A simple way to cut down wasted calories is from liquid. For example, sweetened ice tea, soda, orange juice, ALCOHOL. Hope these few tips helped!
