on 11/22/2005 I was 20 lbs. overweight when I began a diet program at church. The program ran only every other season. After 1 & 1/2 years of yoyoing, I'm now 50 lbs. overweight. Just make small changes you can live with every day.

on 11/22/2005 The way I lost a couple, was eating what I wanted. But only in small portions. Less greasey foods though. Like, 2 peices of chocolate in any or a small peice of a donut and vegetables, with lots of water!!

on 11/22/2005 I have a digital camera & I've been taking a photo of myself in the same clothing on the same day every month. It really keeps me motivated to eat well and work out so that I can see the changes month by month.

on 11/22/2005 I find I'm closer to my best weight when I'm in my best emotional state. When a person is feeling emotionally secure and happy with themself food isn't a center point of their life. Tackle emotional issues. Daily walks can lift spirits and it's exercise

on 11/22/2005 I find that I'm most successful when I write down the food that I plan to eat for the day at the beginning of the day (I count points from W. Watchers)- it's like having a map. I can also look forward to the treats I've included.

on 11/22/2005 I try to buy small plates, about 1 1/2" smaller that regular ones. I fill my plate and it look like a lot more than it really it. Also-put your veggies on first. It doesn't leave much room for junk!

on 11/22/2005 I have had a lot of trouble losing weight and when I finally realized that it was because I am a compulsive overeater it really opened my eyes! Maybe you are too!

on 11/22/2005 Okay, if you MUST cheat and eat that burger or pizza or other greasy food, at least do this: Take your napkin (you may need more than one), and blot your pizza slice to remove excess grease. Do this, and you'll be shaving off many calories!

on 11/22/2005 Do interval training: if you run, bike or powerwalk as fast as you can for one minute, then slow down for a minute and a half for 40 minutes, you'll be well on your way to losing weight faster!

on 11/22/2005 If you want to lose weight, stick a photo of yourself inside your fridge or cupboard. It really does stop you from reaching for those treats.

on 11/22/2005 Before I put anything in my mouth, I ask myself, "Is it worth it?" I find myself eating a lot less and being more conscious of what my body needs versus what it craves.
