weight loss

Does anyone know of any good weight loss techniques/diets? I have only three months to the wedding and I'm no where near the weight I wanted to be at Also, does anyone have any idea of how to tone up your arms (esp. triceps - I HATE them!) Thanks ladies

Re: weight loss

It's all about the tricep ropes. Here are some pics of how to use them.

Re: weight loss

A lot of people have said eating oatmeal every morning will help you lose weight. I don't know how fast that will happen though. I know that weight watchers seems to work for everyone if you do it right,

Re: weight loss

I've been doing Weight Watchers since practically forever and I just reached my goal losing a total of 42 pounds. Granted that took over a year, but if you were to join now and REALLY stick with it strictly you could probably lose between 10 and 20 before your wedding!

Re: weight loss

FH and I are on the smash diet. Its a book. We started on Monday by sat we both lost 10 lbs. If anyone has seen the show on vh1 Celebrity Fit Club the book is by Dr Ian Smith. If you google smash diet it will come up. Frist 9days you cant have nothing BUT fruits veggies egg whites brown rice. veggies can ONLY be raw, grilled or steemed. Good Luck.

Re: weight loss

South Beach Diet is good, if you can stick with it. It gives you a daily menu for 6 wks worth of meals but once you know the basics you can mix and match. Stay on the first phase longer than the recommended 2 wks if you really want to lost weight. It works, but it's tough, and some of the weight comes back afterwards. good luck!

Re: weight loss

South Beach Diet!!!!!!! I went on this 6 weeks before the wedding and lost 20 pounds! Phase 1 is strict! (and I didn't cheat) However, you are only to stay on that for 2 weeks, any more than that and you can harm your body. I lost 12 pounds in the first 2 weeks, then 8 after that. Also, my doctors cut me down to 1300 calories per day on that diet. So, it was a combination of them both.

Re: weight loss

try working out and eating less - buy some hand weights. honestly - it took me awhile to figure this out, but all you need is 20 min a day of a good, hard workout.

Re: weight loss

i really recommend weight watchers- its not that difficult and a healthy way tolose weight. I started about 3 weeks ago and although i only lost 5 pounds (3.5 the first week) i don't follow it religiously. I try and do my best m-f (and i do go over my points) and on the weekends i don't follow it at all, so if you follow it strictly you will probably will lose much more. I plan on following it more strictly when i go back to the US as my mom and sister are going to do it with me and we will cook accordingly!

Good luck.

Re: weight loss

I've been doing Jenny Craig for 4 1/2 months and I've lost 22 pounds and 20 inches! Definitely look into it!

I used to do that also but my trainer said that oatmeal is fattening. I switched to a high-fiber, low-fat cereal and it keeps me just as satisfied if not more....good luck...I feel your struggle, believe me.

Re: weight loss

Also, the best thing is strength training (like a circuit or something like it) and lots of cardio along with it. The two seem to work wonders.

Re: weight loss

When I want to loose some weight I cook big pots of greens (collard greens, kale, spinach, escarole) with lean meat in it, and that all I eat with whole wheat pasta & prunes Drink TONS of water and just work out. It really works

Re: weight loss

drink lots of water and have six mini-meals instead of three big ones. i've been doing a lot of strength conditioning and have noticed a difference.

Re: weight loss

I lost twenty pounds in 3 months by weight watchers. It doesn't work for everyone, but I'm certainly happy with the results.
