    Good luck to all.

    My advice: don't do fad diets...develop a healthy diet you can stick with for life. Limit the trans fat & refined carbs as much as possible. And EXERCISE.

    i weigh around ten and a half stone. im 5'2 so any excess is too much...

    doing well so far, went to the gym on thurs and did a full cardio workout.

    went on walk today, it IS sunday...

    Tip:

    Drink a herbal tea like strawberry and vanilla when you get a sweet food craving.

    btw, anyone else notice the impossibility of dieting when ur period is due??

    A great website to use is http://www.sparkpeople.com

    You can track what you eat and it gives you an exercise program. It can also be tailored to either losing weight or just getting fit.

    Mkay, I weigh 174. I would like to weigh 170 by the end of September.

    For reals, it will be difficult, because I'm going to New York for four days, and I plan on eating nothing but cheesecake. Yum. :)

    I'm in. I'm going to Australia next week and I'll probably be doing nothing but eating out but I'm going to try!!! Hopefully I'll walk a lot....

    I started an office job about 6 years ago and have gained about 22 pounds over the 6 years! I need to curb it now! so starting.....148(eek!) I want to lose about 15. I wish by the end of the year!

    I try to go to the gym 3 days a week, kickboxing...but I don't always make it and I love sweets. LOVE 'em!
    bugs in the way...I feel about you

    Um, yeah, I know, I threw that in in case anyone wanted to do a conversion.

    HOw's it going everyone ??

    Weight control is a great thing. MY father had sever heart diseae at age 50 and a 5 graft bypass operation by 55, so I'm majorly gung-ho on CV risk control.

    Anyone want any advice, just ask, it's what I do for a living.

    No, I'm a general practitioner, and I give lots of advice about weight loss, diet and exercise as part of that. I control my own weight so I don't wind up a premature death statistic form ischaemic heart disease like my father did.

    about the interval training. I take my Ipod everywhere and I have songs I like to dance too. so when they start playing I start dancing. I do it atleast 10 times a day which is at least 40 mins of cardio and Its FUN! If you don't feel like dancing in public, do it at home.

    There was a good study recent;ly that showed that short burstes of intense exercise caused much more weight loss than a single proplonged session.
    Playing drums is good too. Did you ever see a fat drummer ??

    A pound a day is done often.
    Good healthy foods.
    No sodas, no white foods - flour/sugar/rice/noodles.
    Eat whole grains, wraps vs breads.
    I did this, still do.

    yea a friend of mine told me this is what he studied up on
    and now does his work out this way.
    short lil bursts of intense exercise, then slow down, repeat several times. cardiovascular and stuff.
