I have never heard of any individual person whose age is 20-25 years old;-)
Seriously though, this is about eating less calories than your body needs. That is the road....keep your eyes on that road. Sips of water between bites of pizza, or how big you open your mouth or puking are not tactics that will matter.

Hello all, welcome to my diary. I went from 163 lbs to 195 lbs in 2 years so I need to make some changes. I will try to update daily.
I don't really have a time frame for losing this weight. The most important thing is making a lifestyle change. Hopefully, I will be able to do this in 7 months (November 1, 2010) at the rate of around 2 lbs a week. However, I expect to drop the initial 20 lbs fairly quickly, at perhaps 3-4 lbs a week. I actually lost 5lbs in the past week by making minor changes to my diet such as stop eating 2 whoppers a day
Strategy
1. My diet will mainly consists of raw vegetables and fruits. A plate of fruits or vegetables will always be next to me. I'm too lazy to cook and if I cook without oil, the food ends up tasting terrible.
2. I will drink lots of water. I will drink a big gulp of water between every bite of fatty foods such as pizza, burgers, etc.
3. No matter what I eat, I will limit how big I open my mouth (just to get into the habit). As a rule, I will not stretch my lips or open my mouth wider than I would when speaking softly. This, obviously, limits the size of each bite.
4. I will chew thoroughly until the food is completely mush.
5. I will exercise a minimum of 30 minutes a day.
6. If I do eat fatty foods, I will take a small bite and enjoy it as long as possible. If I mess up big time, I will puke it out. Of course I will try to keep this to a minimum and only do it as a last resort. Hopefully nobody objects here.
I will post my progress before midnight each day.
Yeah, don't puke it out. That is stupid and yeah, objectionable.
Look, get the right information. It's not the size of the bites, it's not how much you chew. It is all about calories in vs calories out. Just stop eating more than you burn. Find out your BMR and cut that number. Don't be expecting to lose 3-4 pounds. This isn't a race, it's a slow burn. I'm glad you are ready and willing, just get the right information on what to do first.
