Weight loss tips?

[Willow Oak]

The secret?

Drink water instead of pop- I cut back on my pop intake- now it's more a treat than a thrist quencher.

I used to drink two 12-ounce cans of coke at every meal. Then I went cold turkey and started drinking only water instead. It was awful and I hated it, but within time I got used to it. Now I always drink water at every meal, and I can't stand the taste of coke. That one thing was the only adjustment I made.

And oh yeah, I dropped from 245 to 190. Now all the women want me!

By the way, I do eat less than before. I've thought about it, and I think that the coke tasted so good at the time, and I was enjoying eating so much because of it that I tended to eat more. Switching to water slowed down my eating a bit. Just a theory.

Well Done everyone, I am still going strong with Weight Watchers i have now lost 7kgs, i intend to loose that all over again if i can, by the summer time, i am taking it slow, as it is not that easy to loose anyhow at my age, and i want it to stay off for good this time, people are telling me not to loose anymore, which really bothers me, i know there is a lot more i need to loose, sure it has taken a wee toll on my face, but what can you expect at my age, a few more wrinkles in the face are sure to appear, but you cannot have it both ways, i want to be healthy and slim and i am going to be.

Keep at it everyone.

I wish I could say I'm still doing well. I'm back up another 15 pounds. I've been stress-eating like crazy. I KNOW what to do to lose the weight, but I just can't seem to get back to eating properly. Sigh.

Congrats to those of you who are losing -- I know how exciting and empowering it is!

Just do not do one of those crazy diets...Like only eating fruits, like watermelon.
