ok thing is do you actually need to diet and if so go to a weight watchers meeting I have been going and so far have lost 7lbs in two weeks which I would consider good and this week I have lost 2lbs so in total in 3 weeks I have lost 9lbs and I eat very healthy and still get to have my snacks with my points count. I also have the support of the rest of the club and you get honoured when you lose 7lbs with a silver 7 and a coloured stone when you have lost 14lbs its nice to get a reward no matter how small and the support is great and you get great recipe ideas.

Make sure you drink lots of water - you often mistake feeling hungry for being thirsty. Snack on fruit, nuts etc. Increase your exercise doing simple things like taking the stairs, walking one block further than usual...

Do not weigh yourself more than once a week! and try to make it fun not torture - good luck

drinking 48 to 64 ounces of water is important, it helps keep you hydrated and full feeling longer. i weigh and measure my food portions for my meals. last night i weighed a four ounce portion of meatloaf, 1/2 c mashed potatoes, 1/3 c green beans and 1/2c milk. this am i had 1/2 bran flake cereal, 1/2 milk and 1/2 sliced banana, around 11, i'll have a dannon yogurt. dinner left overs were planned for lunch today. i also plan out my meals and therefore grocery shopping a week at a time and i tape the planned menu to the kitchen cabinet, so i know what i'm eating each day, if i "dashboard dine" , i.e. stop at a fast food place, i'll choose something not healthy for me. i know if i do 3 meals, a snack and drink my water i feel better and healthier.

I think Weight Watchers is probably the easiest and most sensible diet plan out there, right now, if you need to join a program. Best of luck to you!

Thats pretty much what weight watchers is but with my snack if i feel like a biscuit i can have one so long as I point it but I like it because I can have a bit of everything and my points per day is 24 so I have plenty and if I do not eat them all I can have a little extra tomorrow if I want to but I never do.

If you go to this website, they will give you a suggested diet plan for free. I plan on starting mine on Monday.

Weight watchers worked for me, but I found the meetings difficult to go to given my work schedule. (excuses, excuses)
