Diet and Fast Weight Loss – [Forum] Weight Loss: Starting Again

So the other day it was almost 50 degrees out. I’ve been hiding in my sweatshirts and sweaters all winter like I always do, but I don’t want spring to blindside me this time. I don’t want to have to go shopping for all new clothes that I feel comfortable in because I’ve let myself gain weight again.

I have tried to start a healthy lifestyle over and over and over again. In the past it has never been so important though. For some reason in college I could drink every day and live off of handy snacks, dunkin donuts, pasta, and lean pockets and only gain 5 pounds here and there. Those 5 pounds were easy to lose too. Now it feels like they are nearly impossible to shed.

Maybe if I blog my daily meals, snacks, exercise, etc. then I will feel more obligated to stick to my guns. I like instant results and have little patience when it comes to weight loss, but I know that it is a slow process and I need to get motivated. So, here it goes.

Have you ever wondered why certain foods just taste so good and induce extreme cravings in some people?

We all know that our tongue tastes sweet, sour, salty, and bitter, but did you know a Japanese chemist, Kikunae Ikeda, actually isolated a fifth taste back in 1908 called “Umami”?

Diet and Fast Weight Loss – The New New Atkins Diet

The Atkins Diet is legendary. It is one of the few diets that caused a kind of mass hysteria. Food manufacturers lined up to bring new lines of low-carb food, and everyone was talking about Atkins.

Dr Robert Atkins passed away in 2003, and since then the super-fad of Atkins has slowly ebbed away. This hasn’t stopped numerous versions of the Atkins diet appearing on the shelves.

Diet and Fast Weight Loss – “My Love Handles Saved My life” Says Shooting Victim

Crime Scene KC

Superman stops bullets with his burly chest. Magneto catches them mid-air and hurls them back at you. But all this lady needs is her belly.

Samantha Lynn Frazier was vacationing in Atlantic City, New Jersey – her first mistake – when she was shot outside a bar at 1:30AM on Saturday.

So, how did the Florida resident survive? Military grade ballistic resistant skin-alloy called “loves handles,” or belly fat to civilians.

Diet and Fast Weight Loss – [Forum] Do Changes in Weather Cause Weight Fluctuations?

i always thought if you excerise hard everyday you can eat whatever you want because you will work it right off. well that maynot be true………

hi i am 30yrs. old with one child. i been exercising consistently for about 4yrs. i do agree sometimes change is good. However, i used to weigh 230lbs and i am little under 5′10. i workout and i have been for about 4yrs now. i had got down to 170 to 175. i have been running about 4mi a day because running is the quickest way to lose weight and its better than being indoors on treadmill. sometimes depending on the time i have available i will run 2 – 3mi. or 6mi. but most of time its 4mi. everyday during the week.

every winter i tend to pick up weight and this winter i am having more of a problem of getting my weight back down under 180. now it flunctuates from 185 to 190. i do understand during the winter it gets cold for us in the south so i don’t run as hard as i would during the summer and plus you sweat more in the summer. my mom tells me i should change my diet during the winter and then when the summer comes around i can go back to just eating what i want. some people say that you cannot eat what you want and expect to lose weight but apparently i have been with no problem.

i really think i am gaining weight because of the change in weather and not being able to exercise as hard as i would like as during the summer. i kind of like to run because i feel that whatever i eat i can run it off and plus it keeps the metabolism up. i hoping that this summer as gets hotter an
fef
d i continue to run that my weight will reduce back if not i am going to be very disappointed. people say i should change up my workout routine, which i do. i do taebo often on days that its either raining, cold or if i am just tired. primarily i always thought that running or jogging would be the most effective and quickest way to take off the weight and keep it off. also it makes your calves look AWESOME in heels.

I’m open for some advice. what is the problem is it just me or will i be gaining my weight back. i never want to be overweight again thats why i can run everyday. for the last few years i had not had a problem with keeping my weight between 170-175 sometimes 180 during the holidays but now i have increased to 185-190 and i still try to excerise whether its running my 4mi. or doing my taebo everyday..

please some advice. i want my ideal weight back regardless if i am tall and big boned lol….

Diet and Fast Weight Loss – [Forum] Obstacles to Losing and Maintaining Weight

I’m trying, folks, really I am. For the thousandth time, I suppose. I’m about 60 pounds overweight right now. But here’s the true irony: I am in charge of revamping my company’s wellness program. (Physician — heal thyself!!) Some employers offer at work weight loss programs, or cash to help people attend weight loss meetings and the like (and we’ve done that). Some have weigh ins and contests.

But I want to help people on an individual level, because I know from my own sordid experience that weight loss is very personal, and very individualized. I started developing a list of the various obstacles people have to losing weight (as well as to maintaining a weight loss), then trying to come up with various ways to those obstacles. For example, I’m thinking of not only the just-excuse obstacles as well as the real hard-to-get-around ones — “it takes too much time to plan”, “my co-workers won’t stop bringing in cakes”, “I don’t like diet foods”, etc.

From my own point of view, I just happen to like too much the “wrong” kinds of foods. One Oreo? Yeh, right — more like 18 Oreos! And I don’t like to exercise. So, let’s just say those are my biggest obstacles. What would it take to help me get over those obstacles?? That’s the bottom line, isn’t it? Forget the HOW to lose the weight, but the WHAT it will take to lose the weight. Any suggestions, thoughts, ideas??? What are your obstacles? I need your advice to help me with my task at work, but mostly for myself.
