I lost 35 lbs last summer by walking 4 miles a day and limiting my intake to 1700 calories. I've only gained a little back. Now I am playing softball, walking again, and thinking about joining a weight loss program to get rid of the rest of the excess.
It really bothers me that I am a bad witness to my community by being overweight.
Good for you!!! Not only for your "witness" but being over weight plays so much on your health... I personally don't want to be a widow at a young age because my husband is a lil over... And i don't want him to lose me... So we are working together to be healthy..........It means alot. His father died of heart disease.........we don't wanna go there............

*sigh* I did nothing yesterday.... I wasn't finished so I did nothing again today!
I started by eating 2 oz. pureed food twice a day, along with a couple protein shakes. Then I started eating about 3 oz. of soft foods with more protein shakes. Then I started eating about 4 oz. regular food a couple times a day with water, mostly.
Now I eat about 5 oz. regular food twice a day with a couple 2 oz. snacks during the day. I eat mostly protein, mainly meat and nuts and eat about 50 carbs a day.
I need to keep a food diary so I can see exactly what I'm eating, how much, and when. Just out of curiosity.

I'm on a mission to lose some weight. (I guess that is why I started off with a breakfast of chocolate) Anyway, I wanna know what has worked for some of you.
In general, I eat very healthy. No fried foods except occasional eggs cooked with a small amount of butter. We never drink sodas, koolaid, or that stuff. You won't find hardly any boxed or canned goods, and NO chips or snacks in our home. We eat mostly fresh fruits and fresh veggies and lean meats. So we eat pretty healthy. BUT... I need to lose 60 lbs. I've started walking a mile each day except sunday and I work out lots on our home gym thingy... but I need a jumpstart that doesn't involve those diet pills... Anythoughts??
fasting. makes your stomach shrink.
drink green tea, eat less meat. Do you eat a lot of bread? It should be the most "nutty" kind of bread you can get. What about starches? Rice, potatoe, pasta?

There probably isn't much else to do except anything that can increase your metabolism. Do you drink green tea?
