Weight loss tips?

[pitc9]

A good tip is to eat several small meals a day instead of 3 big meals.

I've heard that eating 6 small meals a day is good because it keeps your metabolism constantly working
3 meals and 3 snacks: breakfast, a mid-morning snack, lunch, a mid-afternoon snack, dinner, and then a snack about an hour before bedtime.

That's exactly what my sister-in-law does. She's small and is able to keep her weight constant this way.

Good job, Caseysmom!!!! My sister is faithfully doing weight watchers and has lost over 15 pounds in the last month. She is trying to lost 15 more.

Good luck to you, Sumbirdy. When you drink soda, are you drinking the ones with sugar? There are so many diet sodas that you can drink that won't give you the added sugar. You just have to be careful to limit the number you drink because the salt content is very high in soda. After doing LA Weight Loss for a number of months, I learned that if I limit myself to 2 Diet Cokes per day (my personal favorite soda), I'm fine and drink water the rest of the time.

Are there any diet sodas out there that don't taste like diet at all?

Try Diet Coke with Splenda. I don't like Diet pop at all but I'll drink that!!

Rather than start another weight loss thread I thought I would resurrect this one.

I'm so frustrated!!!!! I've been on a good diet and exercise program for two weeks now and I haven't lost anything....nada. Yes, I'm 100% behind this and I'm doing this for myself.

Mon, Wed, and Sat are hard work out days. Tues and Thurs are swim days. Fri and Sun are rest days. I'm really watching what I'm eating....low fat, low salt, low sugar....lots of good fruit and veggies...cut way back on meat...eating lots of grains, legumes, beans...what more can I do? I don't eat any sweets or fried foods and I've cut way back on bread.

I drink tons of water all the time, no pop, no coffee, drink green tea...am I just being too anxious??? I would have hoped to show at least a one pound loss, but no...nothing.

My good friend and neighbour is doing this with me so we have a good support system in place. She inspires me and I inspire her.

I'm thinking seriously about WW. From your comments, it works so maybe it's time I give it a try.
