well,it sounds like you’ve been through alot. Do what I do: exercise each day,eat healthy(including no sodas)but pick one day to be able to have a little bit of sugar or so,but don’t over do it. Then you will be fit in no time.

There was a special on Extra this weekend about POWER-POPS. Apparently, people are using them and losing significant amounts of weight. They contain hoodia, an appetite suppressant that apparently is more effective, because of the sucking used to ingest the ingredients. Take a look.

hi am not sure whats available in the markets…but, this is what i did to lose weight… PLEASE DONT TAKE PILLS… pills are nothing but anorectic agents… they make you feel less hungry… there is no way to loose weight fast… though , sauna , steam and massages help slightly… it has to be combined with diet and excercise… pills are very bad in the long run… can lead to impotency and infertility…
i lost 10 kgs in about 5 months time… i am getting married in august and i desperately needed to loose weight… i was 65 kilos when i started… according to my BMI , i was 10kgs + overweight… i stand 5′2.odd and 65 kilos is grossly overweight…
just dieting wont help like i found out in my case… diet + exercise will do the trick…
i’ll tell you what i did… it worked for me… hope it works for you too
the trick is not to starve but to eat smart and stay healthy
what you should cut down :
oil , butter , cheese , margarine , mayonisse , sauces (depends , will get back to that a bit later), chips , crisps, nuts , chocolates , sugar , cola, fizz , areated drinks ,ice creams , chocolate , alcohol , cakes and everything else thats hi – cal… you’ll need to avoid everything thats sweet , oily and sticky… if you are not sure about what foods to avoid… check the net…loads of info available…
vegetables / meat to avoid :
potatoes – very very important , beetroot (its a root and has concenterated sugar in it) , all kinds of roots basically except carrot… avoid lamb, mutton , pork , beef, and prawns… all these put on weight… eat only lean meats… thats fish and chicken.. avoid eating egg yolk… eat just the egg white…
fruits to avoid :
mangoes , bananas , jackfruit
now that we had a look at what foodstuff is to be avoided…you might be wondering if there is anythig at all that you can eat… thats how i felt… there is loads of stuff you can eat actually
here they come
fast foods are a big no no… you can order salads and special lo cal foods that are avaailable in most outlets…
its best to eat at home for the period you are dieting and trying to lose weight…after those few months… once you’ve shed your load…you can get back to your usual lifestyle… of course with some caution…
my diet…
breakfast:
skimmed milk (use skimmmed milk , is low in fat , other typer of milk are higher in fat content) , fruit… i am from India… am not sure where you are from and hence you might not understand certain food types we consume here… but let me tell you something… Indian food is very very oily and very difficult to diet…
and try cereal in the mornings… oats, weetabix… etc… have a good breakfast…alwaays use brown bread… whole wheat brown bread is very good for weight reduction…
for lunch , we are staple rice eaters… rice is bad for fat reduction… but i still took rice because its a habit tht cant be changed… everyone takes rice here… so… rice – one cup – 100gms and lots of veggies cooked in less oil.. and absolutely no coconut and curry with less oil… all in all keep your oil intake to 2 tea spoons everyday… that would be just for seasoning… also using olive oil helps a lot…
then for dinner… compulsarily have wheat… pasta is a good option…but make sure you buy wheat pasta… check before buying… and of course in pasta absolutely no sauces… some varities of sauces are acceptable… as far as they dont have cheese , butter , oil ,mayonisse and fattening substances in general… you can use tomato spicy sauces etc… make sure your sugar intake doesnt cross 2 – 3 spoons per day… (not tablespoons) and no butter and ghee of course… eat a lot of fruits and vegetables… and all kinds of cereal… if you are hungry… eat a fruit… or you can eat stuff like puffed wheat and puffed rice… but no puffed corn… corn products again put on weight…
eat sandwiches as much as possible… i dont know which part of the world you are from and hence cant suggest much for you in terms of recepies…
and combined with dieting… you need to excercise for atleast an hour everyday… you’ll see the difference…defenitely… if you think gym is boring… take up dance classes… or run along the beach… if you have one… or skate… or just about any physical activity… brisk walking will also help…
the key is to stay healthy while you diet and lose weight…
drink loads of water…atleast 6 glasses per day… and do a lot of physical activity…. take the stairwy instead of the lift…. and small things like that…
if you have any more queries…mail me… cheers and good luck its not difficult…you’ll get used to it in a few days… and of course the results are fab:) who doesnt want a great looking body…
you can get back to your normal lifestyle once you slim down… after that… its just eating what you like and burning it out the next day with just a little bit of excercise also check your weight everyday… its a great way to motivate and monitor your progres

It sounds like you need to find things to make you feel good about yourself and enjoyable ways to improve your health. You are obviously able to improve your diet so you need to work out how to avoid the ‘loosing heart’ bit. A few ideas…
Find a physical activity that you enjoy – there are hundreds of sports and other activities even gardening that could help you and if you enjoy them you’ll keep it up.
Find a friend who also wants to loose weight or get fit and help each other so when one doesn’t feel like keeping it up then the other can give them a reason to carry on. (This worked for me and my mum)
Find more interesting ways of eating healthy foods. If you can enjoy preparing and eating healthy food you might not be so interested in the unhealthy stuff.
You can do it – you’ve already shown that – so seek out all the enjoyable things you can gain from being fitter and eating better and even if you have blips, don’t give up.
