Weight Loss

[Kenzerino]

Does anybody, by chance, know of a great
weight loss program? I've decided to start
trying to loose a few pounds.
If you have any suggestions that would
be great; thanks!

Welcome to our community.  

There are a lot of weight loss programs, but I think tigerlilly gave you excellent advice.  

Let us know how much weight you have to lose and we will most certainly help you come up with a plan.  The support here is fantastic.

Well, I'm not sure what you need but I can tell you what I have done that has worked so far.

I stopped drinking pop. It's water and 1/2 decaf coffee now.
I stopped eating fried foods, extra carbs, and deserts.
I stopped eating after dinner.
I stopped (mostly) eating out.
I started eating fruits and veggies, complex carbs, good oils and lean proteins.
I started counting W.W. points to make sure I didn't and don't overeat.
I started exercising 5.5 hrs per week. 4.5 of cardio and 1hr of strength training.

I stick to this more than not. I'm not perfect and I have my bad days but try to keep them to a minimum. For me it came down to excepting the fact that I can't cheat my way to healthy. Once I came to terms (mostly) with the lifestyle changes I was going to have to make I was ready.

How much weight do you have to lose? Are you already active? Are you an emotional eater? These questions can help you figure out what might work for you. Let us know and welcome!
