Weight Loss Tips?

Hi all--sorry for crashing.....does anyone have any weight loss tips that have worked for them? I had no trouble maintaining my weight over the past two years but ever since the wedding, the pounds are creeping up on me!

Also, what is a healthy amount of weight to lose in one week?

Thanks!

not that i necessarily follow these things....

portion control, especially when eating out
exercise!!!!
drink lots and lots of water
buy healthy snacks you like so you don't tempt yourself with unhealthy crap
eat lots of small meals
eat breakfast
cut out soda/alcohol as much as possible

i think 1-2 lbs a week is ok, but it depends on how much you have to lose

salad salad salad!

i have coffee for breakfeast (if i eat im hungry ALL DAY)

i have a large romaine salad with tomato, feta, cucumbers, olives, and grilled chicken daily. with red wine vinigar and a TINY amt of oil.

either diet soda or water.

and a reg small portioned dinner, steak fish pork anything... no dessert.

if i go to the gym its only once a week with FH by him (i dont have a membership)

edit: since xmas i have slimmed down a lot and now my size 10 jeans are big on me... i was a snug 12 around new years

I agree with bluegreen08.

Watch what you are eating and excercise. Do mostly cardio with some strength training and you will see results in just a few weeks.

One thing that really helped me was cutting out ALL white, processed foods. Eat all whole grains! Brown rice, whole wheat bread, whole wheat pasta, etc. EVERYTHING!

Also, exercise is key.

I can't help! I just wanted to say good luck. I'm doing low carb and last week I felt so much slimmer, this week I feel bloated again.

my trainer said ...hot water with lemon!

What is that about? I heard that on here a while ago. I put it in cold water and take it to the gym.

that makes me poo

weight watchers - honestly only thing that works for me and i dont have to do a ton of excercise.

I don't have time working two jobs to go to a gym so by curbing my portions and eating well I have lost all most 30lbs!
