I used to weigh 180 now i am 125. The way i did it. Only eat enough calories for the weight you want to be ex 125*100=1250 cals and eat between 25-40 grams of fat. But if you want a toned body you have to do strength training or you will have flab. Also when you exercise try to go over 20 min cause that's when you really start to burn fat. ALSO IF YOU USED TO DRINK 3 SODAS A DAY STOP AND START DRINKING WATER. YOU WILL LOSE 15LBS.

you???
it's not for a diet, it's for medical reasons. Besides, i don't like alcohol anyway... makes me nauseous (after just one drink), and gives me a headache.

jmick, kudos for being able to throw away food when you're full... i cannot do that, i feel guilty for not eating it, and i feel even more guilty if i buy it at a restaraunt and don't eat it at all... i also agree that it's harder for women. Our bodies are built to hold that extra flab in order to keep our babies warm when we're pregnant, so it's difficult to lose weight.
and hagfish!!! I tried what you said with the bell peppers and onions. I made a stir fry type of dish with chicken, bell peppers and onions, sauted them in olive oil with some seasonings, and it was to die for!!! My hubby made me promise i would make it again today!
It was soooo yummy and healthy at the same time... i guess this will work after all
i'm eating a bowl of cereal in the morning (and not a huge bowl like i used to), a couple of pieces of fruit for lunch, and meat and veggies for dinner. No more pop or any other type of drink, only water. That combined with working out for an hour every day should get me fit in no time!
AAAANNNDD, what's even better, I'M GOING TO HAWAII IN JANUARY!!! My dad was going to just take my mom for her 50th b-day, but he's decided to take the whole family! I'm soooo psyched!!! YAY!

that's what i did and i have tons of energy now. i don't feel like i have to sleep all the time. i also get more motivated to work out more. soda is very bad. plus it gave me mood swings. crazy i know but it did.

I'm glad to hear you liked that recipe. I actually cooked it last night too. Yummy
It's a shame that many of our parents pushed guilt on us if we didn't clean our plates. I really think that is something people need to unlearn. What is there to feel guilty about anyway, it's not like McDonalds or whoever was going to give that food to the poor if you didn't buy it (not likely anyway).

i know, it's more that i feel guilty for spending the money on food that i'm not going to eat... i think restaraunts should have full portions and 'light' portions for those of us that can't eat as much!

yeah hag, when i don't want to eat anymore i give the rest to the dogs, they can clean the plate. i always hated being told to eat everything on the plate. sometimes your just not hungry.

I think that’s a great idea, I’d love see an option on the menu like that. My wife and I went out to a local Italian place this past weekend and I got chicken vesuvio and I swear my plate had a 5lb chicken on it and 2 more lbs of potatoes…I think I ate half of it and I was really full! I never feel guilty for throwing away fast food—it’s so processed it hardly qualifies as food (food stuff maybe).

yeah, fast food isn't a problem for me, but expensive italian food is... i don't know why, and that's something i'm trying to work on.

When I had both of my kids back to back it did a number on my body. I was up to 250lbs. a friend of mine told me to eat a good breakfast and a good lunch then a snack and skip supper. Nothing after 5pm. I lost 50lbs. I am at a stand still now so I joined a health club and now I am back on the weight loss track.
Oh my husband is a little guy also and he has been lifting weights like crazy tring to bulk up. He has been taking whey and creatine (have no clue how to spell that??) and it has helped tremendously. The trainer just told him if he ever had to take a break from working out to not take the stuff because it would bulk in a bad way and it is hard to get rid of.

congrats, burnt jamaican! iit is a real spirit lifter to lose weight! My sister has lost 30 lbs... she was at 185, and she's short at 5'4"...
tonight, i'm going to try the chicken thing again, but with a twist. I'm going to broil the chicken breasts with a salt free chicken seasoning and garlic salt, and then melt some provolone cheese on top. Then i'm going to saute the veggies again. Tomorrow i'll buy some tomatos and make the tomato/cucumber/onion salad i mentioned before
i'm soooo excited!!! I've never cooked anything joe enjoyed this much... he just called me a little bit ago and told me he's been thinking about the dinner i made last night all day long, and that he can't wait to have it again tonight. Knowing him, he'll want me to make it every night forever, but then he'll get burnt out of it, so i'll have to change it up. Mabye i'll make chicken teriyaki one night, and a chicken parmesan another... mmmmm!!!! We also have this quesadilla maker, so we put chicken, fat free mozzarella, and tomato sauce between 2 wheat tortillas... it makes a great dinner! you can also add pepperoni to that mix, makes it extra good!!!
