I know you don't like weight watchers, but IMO they really are the best. It's a realistic diet which takes life into account, and it works with food you buy from the supermarket, and really just makes you think about what goes in vs what you put out (excercise wise).
Sureslim seems to be effective while you are on it, but everyone I know who has done it has put the majority of the weight back on. It's not a maintainable diet, and its sooooo expensive!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I think its pretty basic .. eat less and do more.
A calorie is a calorie after all .. so as long as you are eating less than you expend in energy (be it with exercise or running around after kids), you will lose weight. Although one tip is to eat little and often .. it helps to rev up your metabolism. ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!

The pregnancy one - no brie, alcohol, runny eggs, rare steak - squashed stomach = smaller portions. So far is worked a treat less than 1kg gained in 5 months. The part of WW that worked for me was attending the regular meetings, I couldn't put things off till later as each week the scales would show how well I'd done. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

it is expensive initially but not when its a lifetime cost...you only need to repay if you have children etc........ so it was one of the cheapest for me and if you do it right no you dont put the weight back on thats why different diets arnt for everyone.........basically (dont think i worded it right) im looking for something quick...i know not wat to puut into my body and i formerly believe that exercise comes first along side diet (healthy eating) but i dont have time to make anything and have tried a old style shake that didnt do squat ..... ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

There is an extreme fitness one on the market at the moment which looks awesome!
Oh and if your weight gain is medical related and your exercising and eating well .. isnt there some kind of medication to "fix" your underlying problem? ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!

One thing WW taught me which helped was keeping a food diary and writing down everything you eat each day, you'd be surprised at what you are eating and you'll get a bigger picture of where to change what you are eating. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> [/url] Angel June 2012 |

Yep I could have done it without going to a gym .. although in saying that I have equipment at home, I couldnt have done it without equipment such as dumbells and a bench.
Although I could have lost weight without going to a gym and no equipment, I just wouldnt have been able to get contest ready. ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone!

We followed the body for life food suggestions and the weight absolutely fell off my DP and mum (shes got a thyroid prob where she gains weight). My DP lost 10kg in just over a week without exercising and while that sounds like alot he ate a portion appropriate meal every 3 hrs so he certainly wasn't starving himself!!!
Good luck with whatever you do -------------

I lost all my pregnancy weight within the first month after giving birth by changing my diet, take away meals once a week-once a fortnight, water only and no fizzy etc, although occasionally have cordial. And I eat better meal portions so about a fist full of meat and the rest is veges. Also snack on things like rice crackers or fruit.
Walking whenever I can... Also living in a 2 storey house helps I reckon because I am always up and down the stairs! My MIL is using Wii fit and enjoying that... She tried Zumba but felt really uncoordinated! good luck! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Couldn't agree with LF more. I lost just over 30kg and did it without the gym. Just ate healthier, got rid of junk food in my house and worked out at home. I got a few dvds off trademe for an average price of $15 (some were more some less) and the weight came off. Sadly its going back on with pregnancy. |

The seafood diet....................I 'see food' and I eat it 
That's what winter does to me. When summer comes it's all salads and lots of walking. But at the end of the day it's all about calories in/calories burnt. It's simple science and if you have the motivation it can be easy. At the moment I have zero motivation, so the extra winter insulation (and post preggie weight) is still there.  -------------

My brother did the Caveman Diet.
The diet basically means that you eat like a caveman. No processed foods, no bread etc. LOTS AND LOTS of fresh fruit and veges, nuts all throughout the day (no set times for meals - just when you feel hungry) and then a big 'feast' at the end of the day which is also whole foods with meat like poultry. He lost a sh*t ton of weight and they've made it a lifestyle change. ETA: sorry, it's about eating like a caveman would so sometimes very little and only what they were able to gather/hunt. So some days they wouldn't have meat cos the hunt didn't go so well etc. Also, one of the (more hardcore) guidelines is "If it can't be eaten raw, it can't be eaten" because cavemen didn't have fire. That's not to say that you can't cook it though. I've adopted part of it. Instead of breakfast and lunch, all I eat is fruit and nuts and water during the day whenever I feel hungry (plus coffee - gotta have my coffee) and then a meal when I get home. I was surprised to find that I have enough energy to still go to the gym everyday and do a really hard workout (Crossfit anyone?) plus, people keep saying that I'm fading away but "not in a bad way". So it, plus the gym, must be working. Also, I don't crave any foods, just what I *need* to eat and fuel myself. It also saves me money, not buying lunch during the day which is always a plus. Check out Cavemanpower.com. Quite interesting. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I eat almonds, a small handful every day.. Its actually one of my "snacks" and keeps me fuller than a packet of chips would..
I also have protein shakes which doesn't take me long to drink or make and they keep me full too. I'm not on a diet or anything. I do eat all day ------------- Mummy to two beauties... Formerly Kaiz. |

First of all it's awesome that you walk every day :) now all you need to do is tweak what and how much you are eating and you will be away laughing.
If I could offer you one piece of advice it would be don't skip breakfast. Breakfast is the worst meal to skip. If you feel you have to skip a meal, skip dinner. However, I don't recommend skipping any meals. Have porridge for breakfast every day. It's good for you and it's yum and you don't have to work it around your kids because you can serve it up to them as well. If you were to change justbone thing in your diet, it should be this. Please don't go "on a diet". They are just a quick fix, what will you do when you get back down to your goal weight? Will you start eating the same as you were before the diet? Make a lifestyle change instead. Your kids will thank you for it :) By the sounds of it you are already teaching them awesome things about excercise with your walking and running. Help them learn to make healthy decisions about food as well. Sorry, I know I sound like a bit of a fanatic. I've never been overweight either so perhaps you could say I don't truly understand. It's probably not as easy as just "making a lifestyle change", but you don't have to do it all at once - just a little bit at a time. Start with breakfast
P.S. Sorry about all the spelling mistakes. Have done this all on the iPod touch. Will fix it up when I get back on the real computer.  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Ooh I agree with above poster, I didn't have the best diet during pregnancy but it was better than before I got pregnant so when DD was born, hello hospital food... Wasn't what I was really used to but I figured they were serving me porridge etc for a reason so when I got home I changed my diet and did it for DD. I don't want her eating crap all the time iygwim! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Definitely good ideas Stacey.
We had a lifestyle change & in that process we cut out all preservatives & additives, well not all but all the ones that are not good for us. This does mean that things are cooked from scratch, I have lost weight as we don't have as much processed crap in our diets. Plus I've also cut out dairy which has helped weight loss. Plus porridge every morning! That plus b/f instead of exercise  has seen me lose 15kg. I've lost 4 kg since sept & am hoping the slow weigh loss will mean it stays off.
Fast weight loss is not good, it's what we all want though. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

And I agree .. anything fast isnt good ..

One tip I was taught is to do outside supermarket shopping - where you only go round the outsides - and avoid the middle as that's where all the processed stuff is etc. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> [/url] Angel June 2012 |

| Oh, dear! Please, don't think about diets. They don't work. And any diet should be approved by doctor for being healthy. The only way to keep fit is to have active like and eat healthy food, counting calories (only for the first time for getting a good habit). If you follow these recomendations you'll be able to eat everything you want and any time you would like: on parties with lots of tasty food and drinks from https://www.findmobilebars.com/mobile-bar-rental/" rel="nofollow - mobile bars for events , family meetings, gatherings with friends. It really works. Just try. |
