I'm 23 and I gained a TON of weight a couple of years ago due to an illness..I've lost around 40lbs and still have a ways to go. At first I want on a very low calorie diet and did light cardio like walking...The weight came off fast at first, but I couldn't keep eating so little because I'd start getting hungry and tired of not eating anything. So, basically now I have decided to stop obsessing about simply losing weight and to focus on becoming healthy and improving the overall quality of my life. So I gradually stopped eating foods I knew I'd binge on and replacing them with healthier choices. I basically eat a ton of fruit (mostly in smoothies), lots of whole grains and lean meats. I've only been doing this for a couple weeks and I feel so much better! Whenever I slip and eat something unhealthy it's like my body rejects it and I get sick and don't want to eat it anymore. The more you eat healthier foods the better they will taste!

I'm going to have to go with the good ol' simple answer:

Healthy diet and exercise.
Also, drink plenty of water.


Best of luck to you

Start stuffing your face with fruit and salad. Salad without storebought dressing. Salad you can add a bit of cheese, some freshly squeezed lemon and a drizzle of olive oil. This is a fat free salad dressing.

Fruits. Always be nibbling on fruits and vegetables.

Drinking lots of water, lots of water. 8 to 10 glasses a day.

Do not be drinking lots of juice, juice has tons of sugar in it. Cut out all caffience products. Coffee, cola.

Also get off your butt. I mean this in a nice way. Instead of taking elevators, take the stairs. Start small and work your way up.

Take the stairs going up. Not down, no benefit there.

Do this everyday, park farther away from the entrances to work, to shopping.

Never buy your food in impulse, never go grocery shopping when hungrey, not good.

No more pills, no more shakes. Throw these quick fixes away.

The faster you lose the weight, the faster you gain it back and when you gain it back I will guarantee you, you will be heavier then you are now.

You need to lose weight slowly and carefully and properly in order to keep it off.

PLEASE HELP !
There's your problem!

Stop stuffing your face and get off your butt!

If your office has a lift ... Use the stairs instead!

If you get a bus into work, walk to the next stop and get off a stop early each day!

Take low calorie snacks and fruit into work with you!

Drink water instead of fizzy drinks / tea / coffee!

Make sure you have a small, healthy breakfast (a bowl of cereal with a little milk!)!

Make a healthy lunch to take with you to work instead of snacking / eating rubbish!

Take lots of little small steps and they'll all add up to a big result!

First step; stop complaining.


Eat fruits and veggies avoid processed foods, caffenie and sodium.

Drink lots of water, no soda or diet soda or flavored waters.

Exercise as much as possible, every day.

There is no simple quick way to loose weight. You have to change your lifestyle.

I agree with all of these, any "quick fix" will never be a permanent solution, and will be bad for you.

Changing your lifestyle and improving gradually will give you the best results. Sorry!

Eat apples, drink lots of water before each meal...and if someone cares your apprearance more than what you have inside, he/she is not a smart person. Everything takes time...be patient please.

Here are a few steps:
1. Take a walk every night
2. Stop eating after 8 PM
3. Clear your fridge of junk food
4. Take your own food to work
5. Avoid candy - eat fruit

I also read an article which is called Fast fat loss
It made a lot of sense to me
