Just wondering how everyone is getting motivated and staying motivated to lose weight? What gets you moving? I am struggling to lose the weight and not sure really where to go and what to do! I am new to these forums and trying to figure out how it all works. Please help with suggestions!


Thanks in advance!!!

Low Carb diet is the best way, with fruits and vegetables and a shake in the morning. I know a sharke in particular that gives you 8 essential amino acids. It works really well. I have tried it mysel. I cuts down your hunger and keeps you going all day. I have a colleague of mine who lost 150 lbs and 7 inches from it. He was extremely obese and diabetic. Now his weight is a lot more manageable.

AI'm doing mine through weight watchers. I did weight watchers about 4yrs ago and lost 2stone then I stopped going and last year I lost another 2 on my own just by following my own diet and exercise but since august last yr til now I put the 2 stone I lost last yr back on. I lost half a stone and started following the ww diet again a little over a week ago and lost 6lb in my first week.
Weight watchers seems to b the only diet that works for me
 
If you are willing to count calories, that's what's working for me. The nice thing is that I can really eat anything, so long as I have the calories for it (WW is similar, if I remember right). Moderation is the key. The one and only way to lose weight is to eat fewer calories than you burn. That's it. Special diets, programs and all of those are all just ways of helping you do that. And if that's what helps some people stay on track, that's fine. But it's possible to do it on your own and it's not that hard.


In order to do it this way you need to measure or weigh your food, so you know exactly how much you are eating and track every bite you take. Also, you need to figure out your BMR (it's not hard, I can help you if you are interested) to see how many calories you typically burn a day then eat less than that. 1000 calories less a day to lose 2 pounds a week.


Once you get started, it gets easier. Starting is the hardest part, but after a few weeks when you see that number on the scale going done, it helps keep you going. Good luck!
 
Thank you for your responses. I am going to start a food diary and according to my activities need to be at a 2000 calorie a day diet. I am off and running (literally). Going to head to North Beach, take a run and see how much damage was done there from Hurrican Irene! We still have around 20+ trees to cut up!


Have a great day! :biggrin:

AHello Everyone,

Today is my 23rd day on a low-carb diet. I have been documenting my progress and all of the tips and tricks I have learned.

I have lost 11 pounds so far and would love to offer support to anyone who may need it.

Good Luck Everyone!!!

Low-carb, not no-carb, diet worked best for me! Sticking to it, sounds so simple yet it is hard to do. Motivation is key, yet hard when you hit that wall and don't know where to go! Just increase your activity a bit and reduce the calories and you should get over that plateau in no time! Good luck to you! You're doing awesome, joining these forums shows your determination!!!
 
Hi,


Its absolutely right that you should go form low carb, high fiber diet.Also motivation and determination is really important. Engage yourself in physical activities in order to burn more calories. Give yourself a treat as you are really doing well.


Have a Good Luck.


Kimberly.
