I live by Weight Watchers.
But if that's not for you, portion control and exercise. That's really about it.

Re: So mad at myself!!!!
maybe look up a cleanse online- they mostly involve only having liquids- like teas, soups and juicing fruits and veggies- i'm sure that will help you drop weight fast- good luck!

Re: So mad at myself!!!!
feel free to lurk over on lifamilies! on the newlywed board we post our healthy meals/snacks/food for the day...it's a thread called healthy eats.
even if u don't have the motivation to exercise right now, just changing ur diet to lean protein/VEEERRY little carbs(and only good ones when u have them), healthy snacks & LOTS of water - u will definetly see the lbs. come off the next few weeks. I just started two weeks ago getting healthy again & i am already down 4lbs...i also had to put dh on a strict diet for his job, and he's down almost 6. feel free to fm me fore meal/snack ideas if u'd like...but like i said, lurk over on lifamilies & u'll see the healthy eats thread on the newlywed board..it'll probably be super helpful!
also - when i eat healthy, it makes me WANT to exercise..even if it's just going for a walk. baby steps! once u start u'll feel so great!

doing something like this - u'll drop weight fast, but know as soon as ur done with ur clense u gain it right back...if not more. def. not the way to go if u're looking for long term results.

WW and portion control. If you eat a lot of something you know you shouldn't... liek refined sugar, complex carbs like pastas and breads (esp. white), then cut them out or cut them down. My friend cut out sugar and lost 7 lbs. No soda, candy, cakes, etc.

Re: So mad at myself!!!!
so this prob isnt a long term strategy...but i hear you can lose 10 lbs quickly on the cabbage soup diet. You prob gain it right back...but it could be a quick solution

Re: So mad at myself!!!!
I think a great motivator is to take classes at the gym. I make it like an appointment at night...if I schedule the class into my plans for the day, I have an easier time getting there. Also, bring a friend...having someone depend on you makes it easier to go. For a quick fix, try the Kellogs cereal diet. You choose a Kellog's cereal ( i like the yogurt and fruit kind) you eat two bowls a day and one meal of your choice. The box says you should loose 6lbs in one week. I have tried it and it is definitely one of those starvation diets but I shed 5lbs.

I feel you. Unfortunately I don't have much time till my e-pics. Its next week....I just am waiting on some responses from LIW girls and then I will call tomorrow to book my photographer....they all have it on hold for next week anyway so basically call and cancel whoever I don't want and pay them the downpayment the day of the e-pic (I live in fl) I just have a baby 4 mths ago so I am still not back to my skinny little jeans...depressing but there are cute lil shirts that they sell now that do a great job hiding the belly...but u still have a lil time to take off some more weight b4 the pics even if its 5 pounds but u have to be determined....good luck

Weight watchers is a great option!
But also, maybe you can join or go to our gym and get a personal trainer. They're good at kicking your butt into shape.
Good luck! I'm sure you can do it!

o I totally agree- i was going for the fast weight loss since she wants to drop 10 pounds by May 20th.... same thing when you do no carbs- when you start to eat them again you gain it all back- but it works for short term

Re: So mad at myself!!!!
I totally hear you on this one!! My bridesmaids and I were all talking about this earlier today... I need to get back onto some sort of schedule. It sounds weird, but once you are doing it regularly, you'll most likely keep up with it.
I used a 'food journal' a while back and found it to help immensely. I kept track of what time I ate, what I ate, and how much of it. I helped me with portion control because I knew I had to face the facts and put it in writing! I also ate several small meals a day, because it helps kick your metabolism in the *** and gets it going.
That got the results of -12 in 9 days.
I also used to walk. It was a good workout, and not too strenuous. I'd give myself an hour to walk, and by the end of the 1st week, the results were noticable and I felt great! I stopped going when the winter came, but I am going to start again next week!!
