Typically I try to walk a few times a week but it is SOOOO hot here right now that I would have to go after dark or at 4:30 in the morning!

Continued success!!

I'm having the same problem here, and even the dogs are getting too fat now, the vet says Bruno needs a diet Its just too dang hot. We've been out a few times after dark, about 11pm, but both my hubby and I work evening shifts so it gets to be difficult to get out more than 2ce a week. I want to get a treadmill for the dogs.

I lost a few pounds (no idea how much, I don't own a scale) by reading food labels, cutting out the evil HFCS, and I took Watkins Thera Trim and Reduce Plus at meals. They help to burn calories and curb cravings. Now a lot of my clothes are too big, rather than too small, and I can live with that

Congratulations on the weight loss!!!

I have had some free time in the afternoons now that my hubby is hundreds and hundreds of miles away so... I decided that rather than sit and wallow (and possibly gain 50 pounds or 22 kilos) I would get my behind in shape and surprise him with a new me when I go see him in December.

Keep up the good work everyone!!

Congrats on the weight loss! I'm on a 2 canker sores on my freaking tongue diet. It hurts too much to eat. Seriously, I've lost like 5 pounds already! I'd rather not lose weight and be able to eat!

A lot of diet pills these days are just concentrated caffeine, which will give you a rapid heart rate and shaking that can be alarming.

The stuff I mentioned before is a "diet pill" but no caffeineThera Trim Duo

Wow! I would love for you to post some tips into how you are losing the weight. I am also a size 20 and started the zone diet about 3 months ago. I lost ten pound within 3 weeks but since then my weight has just frozen. I am still eating 'in the zone' and go to the gym 4 times a week for a 45 minute work out each time, plus I walk my dogs seven days a week and still nothing ... what is your secret? Congratulations by the way, you are gonna look gorgeous in that size 14 wedding dress (thats also my goal size!)

The whole pasta=Italian food is an American invention. From what I have heard they eat much healther in Italy than the US. Not so much pasta.

I have a slim fast shake for brekker. Then fruit somewhere between brekker and lunch. For lunch I have two slices of toast (brown bread and meadowlea lite spread) along with a cup a soup. Then I have more fruit or a sandwich with lean meat or a large bowl of yogurt made from fat free milk. For dinner I have grilled chicken or fish with veggies. In addition to this I do 5 kms of cycling on the exercise bike... all I can say it is working for me... I don't feel hungry at all.

So many people trying to lose weight, that is so good to see. I know for me, since I lost weight, my blood pressure has gone way down and I just generally feel so much better. And mind you I was not terribly overweight to begin with.

My highest weight was about 185 pounds, and I'm 6 feet tall. About 5 years ago I stopped eating at fast food joints several days a week and cut out most fat from my diet. I almost immediately lost 10 to 15 pounds. Then after visiting my fiancée in February 2005 I decided I wanted to lose more weight, as she kept pointing to my not really so big belly and saying "three months pregnant." So for the following year and a half I decided to put my body into conceived starvation mode. I would either skip lunch or just have a piece of fruit, and for the other meals eat lightly. Reducing food intake can cause your body to think it is starving, and it will start burning your fat away. But you need to be careful, because you don't really want to starve yourself. I also tried to do an hour of heavy work each day. After a year I'd lost another 15 pounds, but I wanted to get down to 150, which according to the charts was my perfect weight. That final 5 pounds was most difficult, but with very careful eating I finally reached it just before my next trip to visit my fiancée.

Then, last June I got very sick, and was not able to eat or keep what I ate down. I quickly lost another 10 pounds, unwillingly. Right now I'm enjoying eating extra to gain those 10 pounds back. Acutally after 2 years of eating little, I AM finding it hard to keep eating.
