I know you LOVE to eat...I don't blame you. But if you're looking for ways to loose the weight, eat in moderation. Seems as if you're already thinking of that and that's good. The next step you'll want to do is eat more veggies...as much as you want. Not only are they loaded with vitamins and minerals, they are mostly water and they are full of fiber. That helps for a proper...uuhhh...cleaning. Important thing...water water water water water!!!

I would suggest Weight Watchers. I'm starting my program again. I've had the Weight Watchers at home kit for almost a year now and everytime I stick with it, I lose weight but then something stressful will happen in my life, and I'm off of it again. I use the same excuse, "Tomorrow will be a better day to start my diet." My recommendation is Weight Watchers because you can still eat what you want. Even if you have a bag of M&M's, you can still be on the diet. You just have to make sure that bag of M&M's is worth the points you give up for dinner. When I stick with my Weight Watchers, I usually lose about 6 pounds a week. I'm only 22 years old and I was working out 3 times a week. I recommend you workout at least that if not more and stick to the Flex Plan because that allows you to still eat your favorites, but you just have to watch the points! Good luck!

Proper diet and exercise can aid in weight loss, as well as keep you healthy. We know you've heard that before--the challenge is to follow through. Others have lost weight by following these simple guidelines, and so can you. Instructions STEP 1: Set small, realistic goals. If you have a lot of weight to lose, try for 5 pounds, relax a bit and then go for 5 more. STEP 2: Start a regular exercise program and stick with it. Don't be afraid of those sweat suits and Lycra pants! STEP 3: Sneak in extra exercise in addition to your regular program. Park at the far end of the parking lot and walk; take the stairs instead of the elevator. STEP 4: Eat low-fat, high-fiber foods such as salads and vegetable pastas. STEP 5: Choose foods that you like. Learn to prepare healthful, low-calorie foods that taste good by checking healthy cook books for new recipes. Eating well doesn't have to mean eating dull. STEP 6: Eat smaller, more frequent meals. This way, your body starts to increase its metabolism so that calories are burned faster. Also, mini-meals can prevent overeating. STEP 7: Plan ahead. Keep the fridge stocked with healthful food and you'll be less likely to run out for high-calorie, high-fat junk food. STEP 8: Keep a food diary. This will help you pinpoint where you can improve your diet. STEP 9: Once you discover your favorite snack time, be sure to have plenty of healthful options available. Tips & Warnings Lose weight with a friend, or join a support group. Avoid those vending machines by carrying around your own healthful foods and leaving pocket change at home. Try oatmeal instead of cornflakes for breakfast--eating oatmeal can help reduce cholesterol levels, and its high fiber content will keep you full longer. Choose an exercise program that you enjoy, and don't shun the unconventional. For instance, did you know that regular vigorous dancing is exercise too? Lose weight gradually--you are more apt to keep it off. A safe amount is 1 to 1 1/2 pounds per week. Consult a doctor to find an exercise program that is best for you. Crash diets can help you lose weight quickly, but most people gain the weight back. Some of these diets are also unhealthy and dangerous. If you choose to go with a specific diet plan, choose one that is medically credible.

I would recommend you to go to the gym three times per week, so you don't lose muscle mass that much, while losing weight. Eat enough food, which should have enough protein, because if you eat too less, your body will shut itself down and you won't be able to lose weight. I think safe rate of losing weight is around 0.5kg per week. You'll lose weight too fast, and it's only coming back with interest. Walk an hour per day with good pace, not too slow, but not too fast either. Have a 'eating day' once in two weeks, when you can eat pretty much as much as you want. That way your body will know that food is available and there's no need to hold on to extra reserves.
