I'm terribly bad about keeping up with diets (i.e. cutting things out of what I eat entirely) and I'm not the most athletic person in the world. I'm looking for some good tips on eating better without sacrificing too much, and a few exercises that are easy to stick too that won't break the bank and fun.
Most importantly is making this easy to stick with. I want this to work so I want to start slow and work my way up. PLEASE HELP.

what worked for me was I just ate less and better. drank more water. walked more. I cut nothing out of what i ate, just the amount and better quality. if i went out for fast food, i got kids meals instead of double mega beef bombs. (you should see my grandaughters mcdonalds toy collection-) )
so far i've lost around 70 lbs. in two years. good luck.

Walking, skipping, drink heaps of water, fruit and vegetables, plus low GI foods which keep you full longer.

Tip number one: Try drinking diet V8 splash instead of OJ or other juices. I found that is taste just as good with the Vit. benefit, but only contains 10 cal per serving.
Tip number two: Find an activity that you like to do that cause you to sweat and that you can do for at least 30 minutes. Then incorporate that into you daily routine.
Tip number three: Set small reachable goals and blow them out of the water. I can lose 2 pounds in a month you lose five. You feel less pressure and it makes you feel like you are achieving more. Instead of feeling like you are not and diving head first into a box of ice cream!!!

Well you can drink green tea, not the bottled ones.. Go to a super market and get yourself some real green tea bags... but most of all try to walk a lot, if you're going to a mall try not to park close to the mall. Park far away so you get to walk a lot, which helps... just move around, that should help you lose weight.. Losing weight is not easy, but just do it slowly and try not to eat too much in one meal.. spread out your meal..

Exercise everyday like jogging around the block
Skip meals. Eat 2 times per day than 3 times per day
Dont eat until you're full
Eat fruits at night if your hungry.
Drinks lots of water and stop all the fast food and chocolate.
I found this on this website. There are more tips and info.

Just try and cut out a lot of the sugar and fast food from what you eat. A good thing to do to help you stick to a stringent diet is to have one cheat day a week. Where you can eat whatever. Just think during the week "If i can just wait til Sunday". And for exercises, try running with an MP3 player to keep your mind off of it. Vary where you run too, to keep it interesting and not repetitive.

cut off a limp if you want the easy solution.
or just stop eating.

The only route 2 permanent weight loss is a combination of exercise and diet.
Very low calorie diets or fad diets tent 2 lead 2 d yo-yo phenomenon, in which people lose weight, then quickly regain all they've lost and more. The additional weight is often even harder 2 shed.
Thanks!

Well think of it this way. As of tomorrow don't think in terms of dieting anymore. Instead think in terms of it being part of your lifestyle. No counting calories...no counting carbs, no running marathons ( unless you like that stuff) think instead of eating the things that have traditionally been healthy. Make sure you eat fruits and veggys but not exclusively...You can have a steak or you can have ice cream...just don't do it every day all day. And don't deprive yourself of it if you like it...life is meant to be enjoyed and that includes food. Just make sense of it...too much pressure is put on losing the weight by a certain amount of time. Dont think about losing weight....think instead about eating right every day and believe it or not eating right means that if you eat the healthy stuff every day then you can also have some treats too...Just not in excess thats all. And don't excersice for the purpose of losing weight...thats too much pressure. Excersise because you are doing something you like...yes ...do something you like. I hate ice hockey but I love soccer so I play alot of soccer but not to lose weight, but because I like it but wait...there is a benefit.....while you are playing something you enjoy, you are making your body healthier and probably losing some weight too. This is all life style stuff not diet stuff...you aren't going to do this stuff just for a few months. Do it for the rest of your life, I mean I plan to play soccer till I am old because its fun.And if you just want to walk on a path regularly in the country somewhere, thats exercise too. Now excuse me I have some grilled tuna and steamed broccoli with a little cheese sauce waiting for me...oh and alittle chocolate too to top things off before I play some tennis later...Good Luck!
