Healthy weight loss tips
* Take one pound at a time
Don???t get overwhelmed by how much weight you need to lose. Try to remember that "losing 15 pounds in two weeks" is nothing to celebrate. It is important to realize that the more quickly weight is lost, the more likely the loss is coming from water and muscle, not fat.
Since muscle tissue is critical in keeping our metabolism elevated, losing it actually leads to a decrease in the amount of calories we can each day without gaining weight.
Fat loss is best achieved when weight is lost slowly. Strive for a weight loss of no more than 3-4 pounds per week. One pound of weight is equivalent to 3500 calories.
* Set Reachable Goals
For instance, if you know you need to get more exercise, begin with a manageable goal of, say, walking 10 minutes a day that you know you can achieve. Then build your self-esteem by achieving the small goals you set yourself.
The same logic applies for losing weight.
* Stay off the scales
Don???t get discouraged when your progress seems to be slow according to your bathroom scales. They do not provide a true measure of what is going on with the body.
If exercise levels are adequate (5-7 days a week), you may be putting on muscle but losing fat, thus losing inches even if you are not losing pounds. It's always a good idea to do several body measurements to have a second objective way to monitor progress.
* Stay focused on being healthy, not thin
# Many people become more successful at long term weight loss when their motive changes from wanting to be thinner to wanting to be healthier. Change your mindset to think about selecting foods that will help your body's health rather than worrying about foods that will affect your body's weight. The Food Pyramid offers a basic outline of the types and amounts of food you should eat each day to give your body the nutrients it needs for optimal health.
* Fat Free?
We've known for some time that limiting high fat foods in the diet can be helpful with weight loss. That's because fats pack in 9 calories per gram compared to only 4 calories per gram from proteins or carbohydrates. To many, the message to limit fats implied an endorsement to eat unlimited amounts of fat-free products. Just to clarify, fat-free foods have calories too. In some cases fat-free foods have as many calories as their fat laden counterparts. If you eat more calories than your body uses, you will gain weight. Eating less fat will help you to lose weight. Eating less fat and replacing it with excessive amounts of fat-free products will not.
* Drink plenty of water
Drink eight glasses a day. Water is a natural appetite-suppressant. Nettle tea is a great weight-loss tea as it supports metabolism and has diuretic properties.
* Reward yourself
# Each time you reach a goal, such as losing 5 pounds, reward yourself with a gift or a massage.
* Seek help if you need it
# A big key in long term weight control comes from receiving encouragement and support from others. Find a friend to lose weight with or you can check to see if groups such as Weight Watchers, or eDiets offer programs and resources in your area by clicking the links. You may also wish to check with your local hospital to see if their registered dietician conducts group weight loss programs.
* Watch your portions
With the advent of "supersize" meals and increasingly huge portions at restaurants, our concept of normal serving sizes is a distant memory. Be mindful of the amounts of food you consume at a sitting. When necessary, divide your food in half and ask for a take home bag. It is all too easy to be a "plate cleaner" even when served enormous portions. Learn to pay attention to your hunger level and stop eating when you feel comfortably full, not stuffed.
* Eat your food slowly
Did you ever notice that thin people take an awfully long time to eat their food? Eating slowly is one method that can help take off pounds. That's because from the time you begin eating it takes the brain 20 minutes to start signaling feelings of fullness. Fast eaters often eat beyond their true level of fullness before the 20 minute signal has had a chance to set in. The amount of calories consumed before you begin to feel full can vary significantly depending on how quickly you eat. So slow down, take smaller bites and enjoy your food.

excercise. that really helps. ive lost around 30 pounds so far so we can both be fighters against obesity. try eating more health foods. NO MORE JUNK FOOD at all. junk food brings the fat all back

The first think you need to do is talk to your doctor and get a plan for the weight loss and stay under a doctor's care if you need to lose that much weight. Your doc may also refer you to a dietician who can be a great help.
When you have seen your doctor, them a sensible program is what you need. Here is what has worked for me.
1. Eat three nutritious meals and three snacks everyday. Cut out junk food. You probably need about 1500 to 1800 calories a day.
2. Drink lots of water - at least 8 big glasses a day. Stop drinking soda.
3. Begin a simple weight lifting program at home or go to a gym if that is possible for you and get some advice, at least initially from a trainer. Ordinary household items (tins of soup, for example) can serve as weights for beginners. Invest in a sensible weight training book. Any large book store will have several.
4. Walk, walk, walk. Start slowly and walkaround the block the first day. Walk a little farther every day. Buy yourself a pedometer and aim eventually for 10,000 steps a day.
5. Record everything you eat and all your exercise to make sure you have a "calorie deficit". Two of the sites I've included will help you do that.
6. Park at the back of the parking lot instead of close to the door. Always use stairs - never the elevator or escalator.
7. When you have lost some weight and are a little fitter, a mini stepper is an easy piece of equipment to have at home and gives great results. I bought mine at a second hand store for $4.
I hope these thoughts help. You can do this in a healthy and sensible way. Good luck with it.

I had great success with the Body for Life program. 10 weeks, 45 lbs, and kept off, still losing. You can find it on the web, but it's a pretty rigid program, you need to be dedicated. you'll never be hungry, you eat ALL the time.....just not crap. Good luck with your search

I used a plan called Shapeworks and I lost 95 lbs in 8 months and have kept it off for over 4 1/2 years now. It is a very healthy plan and easy to follow. Here is where I found it and met my personal coach that helped me all the way through it: www.loseweightnow.com/tfward

You need a life style change, not a diet. It takes will-power and patience. If you need help, I did the Nutrisystem diet and lost 30 pounds in 3 months, but I was exercising too. You have to find time to exercise. Nutrisystem showed me portion control and types of food to eat. Like I said, it is a lifestyle change that has to happen now, before you have children, so you can care for them and teach them the correct ways.

I have a friend who has just lost 30 on weight.She said he neither eat lunch nor dinner ,only apples .Its about 1.5month.30 on weight lost.

HIV works well

I lost 40 on Weight Watchers and have kept it off for 2 years.
