[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 551738, member: 84"] It's not healthy to lose more than 2lbs a week. It actually increases the chances of you gaining the weight back PLUS more. Last thing you want. Portion sizes, trust me. Look up REAL portion sizes. You'll be amazed. It doesn't take long to get used to. Exercise. Again, no extremes. I did the gym, thought I was doing good until I started doing good ol' fashion heavy housework and yard work and saw that it was a MUCH better workout than any machine in the gym. I also walk the dogs 2 miles a day and getting ready to increase it as Maggie now requires a longer walk. You'd be stunned at how much a brisk walk can do for you with little to no risk of injury. Lose the soda, even diet. I don't like soda, hard on your teeth and hard on your stomach not to mention a TON of extra calories just to attempt to quench your thirst which it is formulated NOT to do. (so you drink more) Make healthier choices of foods. An apple vs a candy bar........both have sugar, but the apple has lots of vits for your body and is good for your teeth. But be wary and read labels well because not everything claiming to be healthy is really any different, often they add in more salt ect...or hidden sugars and fat. Don't think of it as a diet, think of it as living healthier. Bad thing about diets is, once you stop, you start gaining the weight again however slowly because you fall back into old habits that helped create the problem in the first place. Don't forget to let yourself have a treat about once a week or so. :) [/QUOTE]
