Hi, I'm new here and I just had a question. I am getting married in July of 06 and I need to lose 60 lbs before I walk down the ailse. I've been following my usual routine and I have a normal sleeping schedule. I'm eating correctly and I am working out 4 to 5 times a week and keeping hydrated, but I'm still feeling down and my energy levels have been really low lately. I don't know what to do.
I've gotten a few suggestions from a few of my friends such as drink more water, mix up my workout routine and a few said to to try xenadrine nrg, which seems tempting to try.
I need to lose the weight before I get married. I know I have a little over a year to lose it but I want to get a head start before I start to gain anymore weight.
If anyone has any suggestions it would be a great help.
(I have a pack of xenadrine nrg that I am going to try I think.)

Re: Help needed to lose weight!!!
You need to incorporate weights into your regular work out. Do youalready do this? What is your diet like on a regular day?

Re: Help needed to lose weight!!!
i think you sould try weight watchers...thats what i did and i see the weight falling right off...i did the same as you eating right and working out 5 times a week!! i learned that my meal portions are what did it..you have no idea how calories add up...once i started weight watcher is learn how to portion myself...i havent worked out these past 2 weeks and i lost 2 pounds just counting the points...when i do work out and follow the plan i find i lose like 3 pounds a week...GOOD LUCK...

Re: Help needed to lose weight!!!
Thanks for all your advice. I have tried the whole weight watchers thing and I didn't like it. I didn't like the idea of obsessing over points and everything that I ate. It was more of a hassle than anything because I constantly had to add up the points to see if I went over for the day. I just feel that it may work for some and not for others.
I also do incorporate weights into my daily work out schedule and I eat rather healthy.
But I decided to try something different. I decided to try xenadrine NRG and it works. I took it this morning before heading off to work and I already have an energy boost and better yet it lasts up to 8 hours which is fantastic. It may be placebo effect, but I will take it!. I checked out their site and I am getting a free pack, www.xenadrinenrg.com. I am pumped! This excitement is even enough to get me back into the swing of things :)

You may be eating healthy but to lose weight you need to be eating the proper amount of calories. I would try to play around with the number of calories you're eating. And with weights - are you lifting heavy enough weights? Are you fatiguing your muscles?

Hmmm...I'm not an expert in fitness or nutrition, but the girls here have given you some really good advice. In order to lose 60 pounds you'll need to make some lifestyle adjustments (barring any medical conditions that may be contributing to your inability to lose weight) - I don't think that taking meds is going to offer a lifelong solution...
Good luck with whatever you do. I know there are a lot of people on this site that have lost significant amounts of weight, and it's a great accomplishment!

I agree. Don't resort to pills for weightloss.
Can you be more specific and tell us what it is you do for exercise and what you eat on a regular basis? There is most likely room for improvement.

Hey Girls,
I just wanted to let you all know that the 6-Day Body Makeover really works!
The author is the fitness trainer on the Reality TV show Extreme Makeover.
The book has helpful recipes, menus, & tons of exercises.
It's a great way to slim down in a short amount of time
Here is the link to the book: http://www.twbookmark.com/books/73/0446577855/index.html
It is so obvious! One is pushing Xenadrine and the other is pushing a Book. GET OUT!!!!

Re: Help needed to lose weight!!!
Hey everyone, Sorry I haven't been here in awhile. I was actually on vacation. I apologize for making people feel as if I am pushing xenadrine NRG I am just really curious of what everyone thinks I should do. I like to hear others advice before I decide to go along with making an important decision.
I am also not the one who is promoting the book whoever said that. I have no idea what that book is. I am actually kind of offended that people think that I am promoting a product. I thought these forums would help me with any problem because I would be able to receive advice from people going through the samething as myself and that it would help me get through my problems a lot easier. But I guess I was wrong.
But for all those that did give me good advice thanks so much. I will definatley take it into consideration.
