Help, Need to Loose...

I have to loose weight, let's say a solid 40lbs for the wedding and I can't seem to do it...I am trying but not hard enough. HELP...The woman next to me at work has her ledge filled w/ CANDY, CHOCOLATE, PRETZELS, CARMEL POPCORN, helpme! How can I loose weight w/ all that 4 steps from me!

I am trying to eat as little carbs as possible. But everyday something comes up. I want the warm weather to get here...I want to start walking from Penn Station to the office on 56th & Park...and go to the gym a few days a week. I want to loose it for the wedding and for me! I need some help and motivation and need support too. Should I buy a scale? I use to be a size 1 and well, now I am a 12 or 14....I just want to get to a 8 ...help! Or a 10!

Re: Help, Need to Loose...

have you tried weight watchers? At least if you try that, you can still have chocolate and pretzels and everything, you just have to make sure you count everything you eat!

Yeah, i was gonna recommend WW. It's a great way to start monitoring what you eat and still eat the foods you love. The great thing about is that you start to think about and plan your meals to make sure you stay within your daily point target.

I started back up last week and lost 6lbs. I just started doing 20-30 mins of cardio, walking more and eating more veggies.

Good Luck!

Join WW. I did and lost 5 pounds in two weeks.

Weighing yourself regularly is a great reality check. I would recommend ww or joining a gym, but getting a trainer to set out your program for you. If you are focused, you can totally do it!
