"weight" the one word nobody likes to talk about. There is always a new diet out or some new health shake or weight loss pills that will "magically" make you lose weight. I believe some things do actually work. But how do we know what ones work and what ones are just wastes of money? Everyday I see weight loss pills advertised on tv. Do all of them work? Does one work better than the other? These answers will only be found by testing them out I suppose. I've never tried weight loss pills. I don't think I want to waste my money on something if they are not going to work. I think just cutting back on sweets, red meat, and breads can really help.

 

I havent lost any weight since I last found out I lost 4 pounds. That was 8 days ago. And I lost 4 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks. So maybe I'll lose some more soon? I dont know. This makes me upset that I weigh 148. That's a lot to me considering that I used to weigh 135 only a couple years ago. I'm now going to cut out pasta's and breads for a while and see if that helps. If it doesn't help then I'll start eating them again. I've been doing everything "right'  i suppose.

 

Who tells us what we are supposed to weigh? Why all the new diets? Do movie stars tell us, media? I think the only way to figure this out is a doctor. There is a certain weight you are supposed to weigh with your height. Is that so hard to keep to our weight? YES! Look at all that greesy, fatty, junk foods out there. Even the non-junk foods arent healthy for us. French fries, burgers, pizza. Why cant healthy foods taste good? They can I believe. I have found I really love salads now, and some veggies I used to hate a few years ago. I like fruit more and that's healthier than have a quarter pounder from McDonalds with fries and a shake. That's just fattening and unhealthy. I dont get why some foods are even out. They rot your teeth and make people get overweight.

God I sound like a mother. lol.

Re: Weight
i lost ten pounds when i was going through all that crap with Trav and i have been eating sensible since then and haven't lost a thing.  I think part of my problem is that i have no motivation to excersize.

Re: Weight
A common misconception about weight loss is that you can lose weight simply by changing your eating habits. As for pills, sure some of them might work to a certain extent. But riddle me this: if these pills are so effective, why do ALL of them say "for best results, take regularly with diet and exercise??" Key factor: EXERCISE! But if you just eat less fattening things and exercise regularly, why would you even need pills?? I'm not knocking all diet pills because I've taken some pills before that actually do work though. And they were free because some stupid company sent them to me and I didn't even order them. In any event, best of luck to you with whatever diet you choose. A little recommendation though: be wary when cutting carbohydrates from your diet. One reason those no carb diets work is because you can get used to it rather easily. But it's a lot more difficult on your body than you might imagine.


That's all the ranting I have for you today.

The East Coast Diet.  That'll sell! Smiley

Re: Weight
I tend to rely on the percentage indicated as healthy by the  American Heart and Lung Association.  Depending upon your sex, age and height, there's a range of body fat percentage that is considered healthy.  If you are in that range, this is a good thing.

Other than that, it should be all about where you are healthy  and comfy.  If you're both, why stress? Stress is a negative factor when it comes to losing weight.
