Have you been dieting? Well you need to read this..

Hey thanks max1950, that is some great advice. I am definitely going to try this. Is eight ounces of protein a day for women also. Cause sometimes they have different ratios for women to eat. Thanks for the response.

it's the same for women also, what i does is not overload your liver with meat products or poultry. one of the bigest problems is eating everything that's served on your plate and what the liver doesnt break down goes directly to your kidneys and sits there. look at it this way it takes 3 days to get rid of the effects of the doughnut you ate yesterday. another way i lost and have kept it off is eating a few greek peppers, you know the one's they throw on salads sometimes, they get your metabolism crankin for awhile, radishes if you like them are minus calories meaning you burn more calories digesting them than are in them, little stuff like that means faster weight loss. and dont forget some kind of fiber, what ever you like, just as long as you get some with each meal, or have a small bowl of highfiber cereal 1 hour before you eat. now i dont know if this is gonna work for everyone but it works for me and i havent put a pound back on yet.

I will try this. I need to lose alot of weight so it is worth the try thanks again.

my friend went on a diet thats made for people with kidney problems, he tried it out by word of mouth to lose pounds fast and in a healthy way. google up 'cooking for david' you could see the weight drop week by week, again this diet has only 6-8 oz. of protein. if you want to lose fast and healthy try it. 'cooking for david' check it out. 2 more pounds and i'll be under 200 the only problem is i went from a xxxl to a large shirt and pant's and it gets expensive buying new clothes every few months, but it's worth it. i can now sit down without my gut laying on my thighs and that feels great, and my knee's dont hurt anumore. good luck, let me know how you make out, and if ya need some cheering on, give me a shout.

Hey I just really wanted to stop by and say Congratulations - you must have worked really hard! I have a very close friend who has lost 56 pounds in the last year and the difference is amazing, I cannot imagine almost 200 pounds being lost! xxx

Hey thanks I looked up cooking for David. I will be doing more research on it when I have more time. Thanks for the information it is appreciate.

enlarge the pyramid especially the back of it, it will show what fruit and veggies are NOT helping you lose weight if you eat alot of them.

Thanks will do.. Thanks for all the help and suggestions I appreciate it.

Thanks for the response to my discussion LilPixelle, I appreciate it. Have you tried www.sparkpeople.com or www.fitday.com it is great for helping keep track of thise calories and exercise you do..and help you know exactly what you are burning.

I need to check out that book. I am a bad Yo-yo dieter..never fails what I lose finds it's way back to me. I lost over 75 pounds last year and gained it all back in a years time.

Thanks winterose I appreciate it. It is scary anymore what they put into pills it is just safer to not take them cause some pills don't list all their ingredients so we really don't know what is in them.

I add my houswork as some of my exercise also. Thanks for the response faith210.

On the Dr.Phil show he once had a over weight girl on the show and told her she could lose 50 Pounds in the first year just by not drinking Pops and drink water. I don't drink as much pop as I used to after I heard that and that it slows down the weight loss even if it is diet.Thanks for the response.

Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. 28 glasses a day? That is alot are we talking about 8 ounce glasses or larger/smaller? That is alot of water. When dieting I drink alot of water but not that much I drink 8-10 glasses of water and I also drink sugarfree tea and crystal light drinks.

I have tried T-Lites and they worked for me and they are not on the list which I am thankful for because I bought some and my mom bought some. They work great at surpressing my hunger. I am patiently waiting for the weather to turn warmer and less rain so I can start my walking again. That is how I lost over 75 pounds last year was taking the T-Lites and walking.

Congratulations! on quitting smoking. I would love for my hubby to stop but he is forever set in his ways. Thanks for the response I really appreciate it. For some reason I cannot take Dexatrim Diet pills because it makes me have bad heart palpitations. So maybe it has some of the ingredients that are not approved. Not all pill companies list all the ingredients. Again thanks for the response.

I was more than happy top respond honey and I found the post very interesting! Thanks for the congrats - I didn't think I would stop smoking but the time was just right and I decided enough was enough! I just hope I stay stopped as my kids and other half are thrilled! xxx

Thanks for the response.

I do use a pill to help me with as a appetite susspressant until I get used to eating less often and eating less food. When my body gets used to that then I do away with the pills. In my case it is mostly T-lites, Which I am happy is not on the list. Thanks for the response I appreciate it.

Sorry that is suppressant instead of the susspresant..don't know where my brain is..didn't see it till I clicked post comment..
