Re: how did you lose BEST?

I am not one to jump on the low-carb bandwagon, but after speaking with a doctor and a nutritionist, they both suggested to have a diet with food that will fill you up and is dense with nutrients (ie. meat) rather than food that is dense in calories with little if any nutritional value (ie crackers cookies, bread etc) They also suggested sushi. It worked for me. Just a suggestion.

i think running is the best way to shed pounds...but you really have to be consistent and stay focused. good luck!

Body for Life is my favorite on all accounts: Weight lifting and aerobics switched off and on. Eating 6 meals a day that includes one protein and one carb plus vegetables, I really love it!

Re: how did you lose BEST?

went to the gym before breakfast and ate healthy afterwards.

cardio (sprint run and bike), weights to tone my body. i low-carbed because it takes the bloat look away from photos... ate lesss fruits cuz there's a lot of sugar in them, altho natural it's still sugar which turns into fat. just be smart about everything.. know what's on your plate and make sure your intake's in moderation. my eating habit became snacking throughout the day rather than having a full meal during set hours. don't forget to drink lots and lots of water. water makes you full also. ppl think water's water.. it's not solid and blah blah blah but it's true.

it helped a lot! i looked and felt great! the 7mths that you have right now is perfect timing! start now and build your stamina. good luck and stick with it! =)

*consult with a doctor if you become pregnant. i note this because obviously a baby on the way will need certain nutrients like folic acids and all that good stuff.

Re: how did you lose BEST?

I'm not the best person for long term weight loss, but a great program for something 2 weeks before teh wedding is Cyber Trim at GNC. I lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks. (Used it before I went to my friend's wedding a few years ago.) It's basically a high protein, low carb diet, --and you drink a TON of water. honestly, you don't even have to buy the CyberTrim to get the results--you can probably get same results from Atkins.--But I've never done Atkins, and Cyber Trim worked for me. Oh...I'm just babbling now.

One word: Atkins! I have lost a lot anf have only been doing it for 3 weeks now. Did it before and lost 40 lbs in about 2 months...so it totally works and it's natural...no pills!

The only caveat is that you have to forgo all bread, pasta (carbs), sweets (sugar) and coffee (caffeine)...the first week is the hardest, after that it's smooth sailing. Go to www.atkins.com and read up on the Induction Phase, if you think it's for you go for it...I promise that if done right you will lose A LOT.

Good luck!

Did you really lose 40 lbs in 2 months??!

Do you miss bread and pasta? Those are the 2 things I would go NUTS without!

Re: how did you lose BEST?

6 small meals, plenty of water and excercise. Try to forgo the bad carbs (rice, pasta etc.. and substitute them for the good carbs (fruits and veggies.) I'm not a fan of fad diets, but the low-carb lifestyle really works if you can manage it. Hope it works for you!

PS. I have lost almost 150 pounds and still losing. I have another 30 lbs to go with 6 months left till the big day!!!!

Re: how did you lose BEST?

I lost 10 pounds my first two weeks on South Beach. I had trouble loosing more than the 10 though. Drink plenty of water and do some sort of exercise.

Re: how did you lose BEST?

Sounds boring, but for me it's eating decently and EXERCISE!!!

Re: how did you lose BEST?

Last year I did something similar to the South Beach Diet...which is a low-carb diet like Atkins. for the first 2 weeks you have to avoid bread related products and sugar. After the first 2 weeks, you can reintroduce the carbs back into your diet slowly making sure thatyou don't gain weight in the process. I actually lost more weight on the third week of South Beach (when I started eating whole-wheat products) than I did on the first two, so you might just want to try cutting out enriched flour and eating things made of whole wheat or grains. Drink lots of water and workout. I think gettingmotivated is the hardest part! You'll be fine!!

Re: how did you lose BEST?

Thanks! I truly appreciate it! I've been overweight my whole life and tried everything. It wasn't until my mom had kidney cancer and her operation had to be postponed until she lost weight. She too is obese. The doctors wouldn't operate until she lost a consderable amount of weight. During her dieting , the tumor grew and eventually they had to remove the infected kidney instead of just a portion of it as when she was first diagnosed. After that, I really woke up! I didn't want to go through that, so I started to do something about it! It's been almost 3 years that I've kep it off and I'm still losing a couple of lbs a week. It's an addiction I'm trying to overcome, one day at a time!

PS. Mom is doing well, but is in severe pain every day.
