    Lose weight
    Hi,
    The best way to lose weight is to count your calories... not carbs.
    First, get yourself a cheap little paper back book of Calories in Foods; available at most grocery stores, or even drug stores.
    Then, write down the number of calories you eat and drink for 1 day, 24 hours.
    The normal maintenance calories is 2000 per 24 hour period; with 2000 calories, there usually isn't any weight loss or gain.
    Many yrs ago, I checked my calorie intack, was gaining weight, and found I was eating over 3,500 calories a day! I cut back to 2000 calories a day, and in a month or so, was back down to my normal weight. I was 24 at the time.
    I do wish you the best of luck. Check your daily calorie intact, both food and drink, and I'll bet it's way over 2000.

    Once I ate nothing but ramen noodles for a week. I lost some weight. I wear a size 5 jeans so you can imagine I didn't look too healthy. I'm 5 ft 6 and I weigh 120 lbs. I use that gazelle thingy a lot and now I have a lovely booty. :p

    .

    I Agree with fredg counting calories is a good thing to do. I would also like to add that you should try some type of exercise; it may something as simple as walking down to the store to get milk rather than driving the car.

    I know my daughter was over weight, we decided to adopt a dog hoping that maybe walking the dog would encourage her to walk more, well that did not work, but I walk our dog Miss Piggy three times a day and I have lost weight, and toned up a bit. I did not even realize it was happening.

    The other thing is throw out your scale; it is your worst enemy. When it was in the house I got on it every chance I could, if I did not lose weight I was sad, and found myself stuffing my face. It seems the more you think about it the more down you can become.

    Go for walks, ride a bike just get out and do something. The one thing that helps in our house was preparing things to snack on ahead of time. Like pepper slices, grapes, cut carrots or cheeses in baggies in the fridge, or apples and bananas on the counter this way rather than foraging for junk food you open the door grab a good goody and you are done. And never go grocery shopping when you are hungry.

    I agree with you highly intelligent very smart handsome pretty people. I hear eating breakfast in the morning too helps. I never eat breakfast. I ought to. I got big when I had my kids and believe me no longer look at over weight people the same. It is very hard to deal with and not at all easy as it looks. I'm glad I got back to size 5 me. Good luck.

    Did you know that eating healthy snack like apple slice or carrot sticks during the day helps to raise your metabolism? So it is better to snack than not to snack as long as they are good snacks, running is good to. You should do it in the morning it will help to set your metabolism for the rest of the day.

    Now children. YEs there are some over weight people that are just as cute as I am but its not safe just like its not safe to be too thin either. You know what? Half the people who call themselves over weight are not overweight they just have curves. Skinny people that don't have any shape are jealous so they say you are fat. What about the vegetarian thing?
