I'm really trying to lose weight what should I do.

[de3ik]

In addition to a healthy diet (low fat and high fiber) and exercise (at least 30 minutes for at least 5 days per week) you should also take fiber and drink detox tea to keep yourself regular and clear out waste from your system. An unhealthy system can make it more difficult to lose weight from what I've heard. When I lost weight I was also taking two tablespoons of psyllium husk fiber (similar to metamucil, but not metamucil.) in some water every day, with plenty of water and drinking detox tea several times per week. Occasional fasting and detox helps to clear your system too. My aunt told me you should take half a grapefruit, half an apple, and half a lemon with the skin on (beware it is very bitter) and chop it up in a food processor (to make sure the pieces are small enough to blend), then blend it with water in a blender to make it a juice. Do it in the morning on an empty stomach and drink some water thruout the day with it. It should help to detox your system. Do it from time to time to keep your system clear and free of the waste that builds up.

Also beware of most paid systems that propose to help you detox your system. Only one called Colonix has had any real successful reviews (drnatura.com) and it's up to the person as to whether they would try it or not.

Let me know if this helps

Try cutting back on sweets and meats, eat more veggies and exercise. A detox is great to start out. Eat less amounts of food but do not skip any meals, drink plenty of water all day long.

 Everyone has to do what works for them. Don't go on a diet!! Just make healthy lifestyle changes.
When you make a meal try to focus on veggies and fruit being your main dish and the meat, potatoes, and rice being your side dishes. Fill your plate with a lot of veggies and add a little of the things that make us fat.
 In the morning try to eat things like yogurt and fresh fruit or oatmeal with raisins and apples with a slice of whole grain toast. Stay away from bagels..they are high in carbs. Fruit smoothies are a great way to get energy too. I just buy my favorite frozen fruit (a cherry blend) and then add things like bananas, fresh pineapple, granola, and things you like. My family loves my smoothies. Adding a little honey to make it taste better is great too.
 Another good thing to do is make a pitcher of water and add some grapefruit slices,orange slices, and some fresh mint. Drink this all day long. (as much as you can) and it will help burn fat.
When exercising... don't do things you are going to hate or not look forward to. Don't make it something you feel you HAVE to do. Make it something you WANT to do. Put on your favorite music and dance or if you have an ipod or portable music device...walk around the block while listening to something up beat. When watching tv, or waiting for something to load on the computer do some squats or jumping jacks. Always remember that every little bit counts. Even if you do 10 squats it has made a difference.
 Don't feel like you can't have an occasional sweat or treat. When you do just make it a small portion and eat it as slow as you can paying close attention to the textures and tastes. Make sure that you make it last long enough for your brain to kick in and acknowledge that you got a treat! LOL this may sound weird but the main thing that makes us fat is over eating. It takes our brains about 10 min to realize that we are full. If we rush through what we are eating we feel like we need more or were cheated out of having what we want.
 Most important!!! Try not to stress about things. Stress makes us fat and makes us want to eat more. Find something that will help you to feel content in your life. Love, family, meditations, prayers, puppies. What ever makes you happy that is healthy for you.

My mother lost 75 pounds on weight watchers and I got on the diet at one time and played around with it for a couple of weeks and lost 8 pounds myself.  I have stopped eating red meat and pork and Ive lost 10 pounds that way.

Many of us know what we have to do to lose weight but the problem is doing it. I can do fine for a while but then something happens and I am off track.

All you have to do is get shingles.  I lost 14 pounds because I absolutely couldn't eat because of the pain.  I drank a nutritional drink every day but that's about it.

Im 5'2 and weight 152 I ws 185 three months ago. I dont know how I did did it, It was very hard. But I drank two 8 ounces of water everytime I eat a meal it can be a snack too. Another inportant tip is to look on the container before you eat to see the measurements of the calories.If you dont like to go to the gym then just take a walk before it gets dark outside, or you can dance to three full songs( I was doing that for a month now I head to the gym every night around 7 pm. good Luck!!!!

You are correct about the need to remove waste from your system. When you remove all the old junk from your body it leaves you feeling purified and makes you think twice about what you put in your mouth. I usually do an enema but at least twice a year I do body gold colon cleanser.  I've always heard about the great reviews from dr natura but have yet to try it.

I have had weight issues since I got sick. A year ago I was told that I have an underactive thyroid and once they stabilize it I will lose weight. They still havent stabilized it and I still havent lossed any weight.

      Consult with your nurse/doctor. Watch your diet very carefully, drink plenty of water and walk-and-walk every single day to exercise and burn some extra calories.

[DeliriousKris]

I agree with what people before me have said...
It's a lifestyle change.

I started off with counting my calories religiously. I have 2 apps to track them on, and I try and exercise often (though with work and school, both full time, I don't have as much time to work out as I'd like). Take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator, park further away from your destination...it all adds up.
Don't cut out treats all together...make sure to give yourself a SMALL treat every so often so you don't crave it so much, and look up healthy alternatives to your favorite junk foods.
My husband and I are making cheeseburgers tonight with turkey meat and low fat mozzarella cheese. Much less fat and calories than going to McDonalds, and I think it's tastier too!

I go to online web sites that let me know what is overweight and what is obese for my gender and height. It will also calculate your BMI. I eat things like pickles which have no calories to help supress me apitite. I also soak cucumbers in white wine or apple cider viniger. The viniger has no calories and a large cucumber has around 15 calories. Your able to eat a  lot this way with very few calories. I avoid food shows and stock up on things that I like, but don't love unless its good for me. Avoid carbohydrates and eat lean meats like fish. I lost 100 pounds after my daughter Ruby was born and now working on losing my baby Alicia's baby weight.
