I have a goal to lose 25 pounds by the wedding... anyone got some good pointers on what works the best? I've doe weight watchers but I dont have time to count, and I've done south beach/atkins... but they make me feel sick- people need those good carbs in their diet like fruit and whole grains... Also I've been going to the gym- taking kick boxing and going on the elliptical... And when I don't feel like going I do my power 90 dvds at home.
Any other good suggestions?

Re: DIET!
Just portion control I guess. I am on Jenny Craig....but if you are going to do it on your own, than def just watch your portion size. Whole grain, high fiber cereal...and work out!! Good luck!!

Re: DIET!
portion control. eat breakfast every morning to get your metabolism going that's very important. drink lots of water and eat a little every 2-3 hours so you don't feel hungry.

Re: DIET!
depends on how and what you eat. I used to eat a LOT and it was all fast food and junk. I stopped munching on crapola and started eating more fruits and veggies. If i have a big lunch i will have a smaller dinner or vice versa. I still eat what i want and i know that if i want something thats not great for me then i have to make it up that day. I dont know if that helps you but ive lost almost 80lbs doing this :) let me know if you need anything! its tough but once you get going it becomes a new way of life :)

Re: DIET!
Eat lots of smaller meals, dont skip breakfast, and eat healthy snacks.
It sounds goofy but I started snacking on vegetables and resisting chips when FH eats them. I used to HATE canned vegetables but i've acquired a taste for canned green beans and now I love them. An entire can (2.5 servings) is 70 calories so I know even if I eat the entire can (which I sometimes do) it's not too much, plus it's healthy to eat veggies and I never used to get enough. I'll also snack on raw mushrooms, etc.
I found a yummy light lemonade that's only 15 calories a serving, and I try to eat small portions. Instead of eating until I'm stuffed I'll eat half now, save the other half and eat it later as a snack. (better than eating the whole thing and snacking on something else later)
I still need to work on the exercise part, but I think I've lost a pound or two just changing my eating habits.
Oh, and drink lots of water!!!!!!!!!

Re: DIET!
Measure everything! It's all about portion control. Eat more veggies that aren't soaked in sauces, more fruit. Switch your breads, pasta, rice and potatoes to whole wheat/grain options (brown rice and sweet potatoes). Remove the fattening things from your salads and sandwichs (cheese, mayo & creamy dressings). That would be a good start.

Re: DIET!
Biggest thing is portion control----and planning If you limit your calories and plan what you are going ot eat for the week, on Sunday, then you are able to stick to it, cause it is already written down for you. Also make sure that you increase your workout--once you do that and decrease calorie intake, the weight should come off

Re: DIET!
For me I do lots of water, and I eat a bigger lunch and smaller dinner. I find this helps a ton. I don't eat white starches either (except white rice with sushi). The no white starches was just a lifestyle change and let me tell you I don't really miss it (I did it years ago) and then when I do have regular pasta once in a while I don't feel guilty about it at all!
My BIL did one of those online programs and lost a ton of weight. It was basically great recipes that fit in with your weight and lifestyle.
Good luck -- I am starting right after Thanksgiving!!!!!!!
