Have to lose 15lbs

I know what you mean, if there is junk food in the house then I will eat it. All of it. And nothing else. FH usually does the shopping, so between now and the wedding he is not allowed to buy any junk food. He has to fill the cart with fruit, which I love, just not as much as my junk. And we do the occasional splurge and go out for ice cream. Between that and working out, I'm hoping to lose a few.

I am doing P90X and running. I need to lose only about 7lbs by the end of July. Oh and definitely cut out the bad food. We don't fry food, no pork, and cut back on the bad carbs. We are slowly moving to more whole wheat pasta and such.

Good Luck.

I run a minimum of 8 miles a week, trying to get that up to 20 at least though. Also, you need to really just change your diet and control your portion size.

You could also give yourself food poisoning, I lost 7-8 pounds in one weekend that way!

There is an AWESOME book that I use called "This is Why you are Fat" by celeb fit trainer Jackie Warner.

She allows 2 cheat meals a week if you follow her advice. Plus she shows you how to exercise without going to a gym.

I lost 10 pounds doing it easily.

And make sure you keep tons of water with you at all times. I probably drink too much water, I drink about 100 oz a day. But it's easy when you have big water bottle and just have to refill it 3 times. But often when your think your hungry and eat, your body is just thirsty

Hi Ebony! Just wanted to give you a few tips as to where u can begin if you wish. I recommend drinking water, half your weight in oz. If ones weight is at 150 then they would drink 75 oz per day. Also do at least 30 minutes of Cardio (walking) per day. Whatever you do MOVE! Twist, twist, twist, that waist, drink, drink, drink that water and walk, walk, walk! Just keep it simple and know it works! Good Luck!

Vinlars, I mad fh leave out at 9pm to get me ice cream last night because I had a fall out with one of my bm and I was upset lol. K&H I have p90x, I just have to blow the dust off of it lol. lmao Glenn you are too funny and thanks Rachel, I will check it out.... Thanks guys

Disclaimer: I do NOT recommend this for long term weight loss, but it is good to quick start your diet.

My FH and I did a fruit and veggie fast for a week and I lost 6 lbs. and he lost 10. All we ate was fruits and vegetables, no meat, no dairy... You can put seasonings on stuff but no salt. Everything should be as natural as possible.

We both had a dip in energy, but not terrible. I'm planning on doing it about once a month to keep me in check

Thanks Stephanie, I am going to try to stop eating after 7 as well and my little brother keeps telling me to have smaller portions

I echo the comments on the water. I drink probably 100-150 oz of water every day. When I have a craving for food but know it's not time to eat yet I drink a lot of water and it almost always holds me over while waiting for my meal.

Folly, don't you gain it back fast?

Alot of people over look it but- if your a soda drinker: give it up. once i cut soda 100% out of my diet i lost 5 lbs, got rid of that 'bloated' look in my stomach and my skin also got SOOO clear. so no soda, plenty of water, any time you feel 'hungry' try drinking a glass of water first..sometimes our bodies confuse thrist with hunger, eat more slowly, and dont necessarily eat less just change what you eat. i snack ALLL day long but i traded in my chips and cookies for nuts and fruit. oo also myfitnesspal.com is an AMAZING site to help with weight loss!

Ditto to Mallory!

Thanks a lot Mallery, I rarely drink water but I drink liquor like twice a week. I was thinking abut cutting back on that

Stephanie, you said twist. Do you mean like my body? midsection?

Yes, definitely cut out the liquor.

Another suggestion-- if lunch time and youre craving cookies...LET YOURSELF HAVE A COOKIE. otherwise youre going to substitute and wind up eating so much more stuff and more calories than if you just let yourself have that one cookie

Oh mannnnnnn

Oh hooray for cookies

Pft. you'll do fine and are going to look BEAUTIFUL in your dress! dont sweat it!
