Re: Quick Weight Loss???
You can lose weight quickly on Atkins....but the prob with me and Atkins is that I'll be fine... and then I'll hit a wall to where I am sooooooooooo sick of eating all meats and no carbs.... its really tough- but if you are determined.... you can lose up to 10 lbs in 2 weeks!!

Re: Quick Weight Loss???
I just read online that this girl went from 147 to 117 by taking an Acai Berry suppliment along with doing a Colon Cleansing system. I was thinking of doing a detoxifying flush for health and weightloss purposes, but I've been trying to find the best one...and am still hoping I'll find it online. I heard that's supposed to be very good for you though b/c it cleanses your insides and makes you clean out all of the years of build up and plaque in your intestines which can add to weight gain. HTH!!

cut out all white foods meaning white bread, white rice etc. basically processed crap and replace with multi grain, water water water, cut your carbs n ot all but startchy carbs (pasta, sweets that stuff) definately do like 40 minute of cardio 3-4 times a week like bike, treadmill eliptical dont take pills not worth it they can screw you up maybe take the hydroxycut cleanse thing

Re: Quick Weight Loss???
sounds like you are plateauing...
my ww leader used to tell us to 'shock' our bodies and eat different things to increase weight loss...
also, it's SO important to eat as soon as you get up in the morning to jump start your metabolism and eat fruit with EVERY meal... often times it's better to eat smaller meals several times a day rather than 3 big meals a day.
oh! and i saw a girl suggest peanut butter- stay away from it until they find out what is causing the salmonella!

Re: Quick Weight Loss???
You should never eat fewer than 1200 calories a day. Your body will just rebel and store all of the fat and calories. I would do the workouts - you can do an hour and that will significantly help. You could also try cutting out carbs entirely for a few weeks and that'll speed up your weight loss. But don't potentially damage your health in order to lose a few extra pounds. Work out, low carb, and drink a lot of water.

Re: Quick Weight Loss???
my biggest piece of advice dani, Do NOT take pills. I used to take them to lose weight quick when i was younger when stackers still had ephedra in them and would lose lots of weight quck, then wen it became illegal to take them with ephedra i coulnt find anything that worked. I started taking Hydroxycut and it seemed to work at first, but then everytime i took it my back and stomach would be in pain. The side effects r terrible! Stick with the diet and exercise, it should do the trick.
if u r def going totake pills, go for Ali, itsthe only thing the FDA has approved for weight loss! good luck! tell me what u do and how it works! im gonna do whatever u do to lose the weight!

NO PILLS...NO FADS... Weight loss is all mathematics...gotta take in less than you use. Track your food. Use fitday to do it. Try to eat 5/6 smaller meals a day each with a lean protein and veggie. Two or so with a healthy carb. (brown rice, sweet potato, oatmeal wheat bread...)
Exercise is really second to your diet. Weight train 4 times a week, do some cardio. And LOTS OF WATER! Eating under 1000 calories is ridiculous and so unhealthy. Take it from someone who has finally gotten her metabolism somewhat back on track after years of exercsing for 3 hours a day and eating between 600-800 calories. NOT worth it. You will be beautiful on your wedding. DO NOT compromise your health to lose a few extra pounds.

Re: Quick Weight Loss???
Dani. I COMPLETEY relate to wanting to be happy with photos but to you and ALL LADIES- PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS.
This past Friday, I show up to the church for rehearsal- my cousin's wedding was on Saturday.
NEITHER the Bride or Groom were there....the Groom was RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL. He started Atkins on 1/1 and lost over 30 pounds in about weeks. He missed rehearsal and was morphined for the ceremony. He checked out against Doctor's advice. Their honeymoon is cancelled because he is back in the hospital, not sure what exactly is wrong. Definitely kidney stones but seems more complicated.
PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE....whatever you do, be VERY careful. You can imagine the agony the Bride, his family...we all, were in.

Re: Quick Weight Loss???
Thank you sooo much for all of your advice, ladies. I will def. take all of it into consideration. But so far what I think will work best for me, and be the most healthy would be to eat fruits with each meal. Alot of you suggestied that. I'm sticking to about 1000 to 1300 calories a day...since thats what my body is already used to over the past 6 months or so. lol. I am going to work our for at LEAST 40 mins a day...I was informed that it takes 30mins to get your heart beat up enough to actually start burning calories. Also, I got a little travel sized toothbrush and toothpaste...so whever I get a craving to eat, and don't really 'need' to, I brush my teeth. Also, I am now drinking PLENTY of water. I am hoping that this will all work out. There is more that Im donig, but I didn't want to bore anyone... Thank you girls soo much for all of your posts and FMs...really means alot. I may alternate between a few of them just to 'trick' my metabolism as many of you had said as well. And, I'll use weights in all of my workouts. Thank you again ... It really means alot. I'll let everyone know my progress as I go... lol

This is exactly what I've been doing for the past 3 weeks and I lost 9 lbs so far. I am drinking lots of water, cut out breads and pasta, I'll eat very little wheat bread if I get a craving. Walking will definitely help...make sure you get ur heart rate pumping. Don't do anything drastic, if you starve your body will burn all the good fat and store the bad fat....defeating the purpose of dieting.
For snacks eat veggies, yogurts (i've been snacking on Fat Free all natural dannon yogurt) it has 1g of fat and it's yummy. Salads are good too but make sure you switch it up bc you'll get tired of it fast....throw some tuna in there for some protein.
Like the other girls said....eat different things, your body may have gotten used to the same things and needs something to boost it back into weight loss.
Good Luck Dani

Re: Quick Weight Loss???
Hey Dani - One EASY factor to just consider is this - do you eat within the first hour that you wake up in the morning? If you don't already, you're in luck because this is a wonderfully easy way to jumpstart weightloss because you boost your metabolism! :)
'They' say you can lose 10 pounds by just eating breakfast (within the first hour you're awake) alone!

Re: Quick Weight Loss???
well you can do the one beyonce did you know the lemon juice with the pepper, but dont do it for more than one week MAX becuase its hard on your kidneys or Slimquick has a new thing called the gentle cleanse (I think it basically the same as the lemon one one gentler)

Re: Quick Weight Loss???
Special K challenge!!! I lost 40 lbs on it 5 years ago and kept it all off until very recently when stress due to work/my stepfathers illness caused me to eat like a maniac.. The best part was I never felt really hungry and if I ever did I was able to eat unlimited fruits and veggies all day. FM if you want any info on it..

Re: Quick Weight Loss???
Don't use any diet pills.. those things scare me and they are not healthy. My cousin did some natural cleansing thing before her wedding and she lost alot of weight from it and was overall healthier. I will try and find out what it was called.
