You can substitute two meals a dail for raisin bran and try to just exercise a bit, even if its walking to and from the house to the mailbox like you're waiting on some important mail. :-) It really works. i have high metabolism to begin with but I lost 10 lbs in a week substituting the raisin bran for my breakfast and lunch. When you feel like your are hungry, take those walks and you'll learn to forget all about the food cravings! Good luck
the best diet to use is a diabetic diet. the reason is that it provides for 3 meals and 2 snacks a day, with controlled amounts of carbs and fat, and is designed to maintain a constant blood sugar level, this prevents cravings for sweets and snacks. it is adjustable for how many calories you want to take in a day, and is very flexible about what you eat. so you dont have to eat different from the rest of the family or spend alot of money on special foods or diet plans. ask your PCP about it, all doctors offices have hand outs guides for this! good luck!

Cut out carbs! I went from 180 to 120. It is a healthier life style. You can look at diabetic diets and that is a good way to run with it. My suggestions - first 3 days carb crash - no carbs at all. That does not mean you give everything up in life either. You can have soda but it has to be diet, and instead of sugar use sweet n low. You can always have all the meat eggs and cheese you want as well. On the 4th day add in green veggies. They are important because the protein and veggie combo. After that try to set a goal on the number of carbs and slowly increase. I did 25 a day then 35 then 55 etc. I dont even think about it now but generally I am around 30 a meal instead of a day. I have stayed thin for 2 years now and feel great. Note if you are a big soda drinker you will lose about 10 the first week.

Several of my friends have done really well with weight watchers plus exercise. There is an excellent site for "watching what you eat" (I hate the term "diet") called www.ediets.com. It plans out your weekly meals and even gives you a shopping list of groceries. It will also track your progress and send you informational emails. It's fantastic. Also, the Turbo Jam exercise series is awesome, and they also have daily meal plans, etc. You can go out to www.turbojam.com for more information. Good luck!
Just low cal and exercising every day if possible. I have lost at least 60 pounds in 7 months this way. I still eat sweets in moderation but I stay away from grease, fried, or junk food. And always remember to be positive. Don't limit yourself too much and don't restrict. Don't feel bad about set backs or slip ups. It happens. Just think of your goal and remember it is possible, I did it. You don't need diet pills or buy books, just eat healthy and exercise.
curves, it's great!
i've been a member for over 2 years and have lost over 50 lbs.
they have a great diet plan as well. that what did it for me.
Its good that you are starting ahead of time. Dont go on a diet. The way you eat should be a lifestyle, not a temporary plan. Try subscribing to Cooking Light. It is a magazine filled with terrific recipes that are good for you. They also have great excersize tips.
Also playing a sport or picking up a hobby that will make you work hard physically for 3-4 days a week would help speed the process.
I lost 35 pounds without dieting. How? Walking about 30-45 minutes per day (treadmill) and tweaking my eating habits. I cut my portions is half and removed the following:
Bread (taste great but nothing but a filler).
Sodas
Salad dressings (switched to vinegar and olive oil).
Mayonaise (mustard has 0 fat grams).
Just by doing this, the weight starting falling off, plus I was drinking at least a gallon of water per day.
Once you get started, it does not appear to be a diet so that is why I said "without dieting."
Grandma's Research has shown that an addition of Organic Unpasteurized Apple Cider Vinegar can not only shave off the excess baggage, but also clean out the impurities from the blood and increase one's feeling of wellbeing.
How is it done?
Add 3 tbsp of ACV to a glass of water or juice (MUCH BETTER!), take it twice a day and enjoy the benefits of a great BM, cleaner skin and over time, a trim waistline.
In addition, the Ancient Egyptians used it for this purpose, as well as an effective "cure-all" for the "Common" Cold/Flu, Diabetes, Arthritis, Yeast Infections, etc..
I have experienced the benefits personally, as well as watched my Mother in Law Shave off a few years of excess baggage and KEEP IT OFF!
In addition, be reminded that the meats we buy have the additional hormones added that were used to "fatten" the cow, pig, chicken, goat etc.
These hormones (estrogens, etc.) are still very active and present in your meat, allowing your body upon consumption to believe that it too needs to get "booty-licious!" LOL! (SMILE)
*and you wondered why you were packin' on the pounds, huh?.
So, invest a few dollars in your health and buy organic, hormone-free meats, drink a few glasses of ACV, drink some water when you get the cravings, eat more of an array of colorful as well dark green & leafy veggies, lose the bread (blows you up!), exercise for 35 to 45 vigorous minutes (or work slowly & effectively through Yoga, the breath is detoxifying), then slowly work through the emotions that inspired you to chomp down on the extra slice of cake or chocolate or whatever.(Hey! You didn't gain it overnight. Losing it wisely will keep it off for life!)
Then. VOILA!! "GET FIT GIRL!"
Good Luck!

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a fitness calculator that you can put on your cell phone and computer. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.
Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with excellent resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter.
A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.
*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Email me if you want a good indoor air purifier recommendation and if you have other questions.

Just get a appetite suppressant and fat burner. you can go all natural so there are no funny chemicals in there. go to power-pops.com/cls. also just reduce your calorie intake to 1200 calories per day.
Try a cleansing diet! I tried this and lost 10.5 pounds and 17 inches in 9 days. Then I continued it and lost 25 pounds in 5 weeks. This program works to remove the toxins in the body that are stored in the fat cells. You cannot get rid of the fat cells unless you get rid of the toxins. We get toxins from pesticides, preservatives, fast food additives, chemicals, pollution, smoke etc… This was my first experience with cleansing and it worked wonderful! You can order at 1-877-587-4647. It is not a cheap program, but it works and is worth every penny!

You need a good combination of aerobic activity and resistance training combined with a healthy diet. You do not lose weight for long-term with diet pills.
It is not recommended to lose more than 1-3 lbs a week. If you want to lose weight the correct and safe way that will stay off for the long-term you need a good exercise and nutrition plan.
A good program looks like this:
Always warm up and cool down
Muscular strength & endurance-you need a good resistance training program that includes exercises for all muscle groups(hips, chest, upper and mid back, legs (quads and hamstrings), shoulders, lower back, upper arms (biceps and triceps), calves, forearms, abdomen, and the gluteus maximus).
Your intensity should be 70-80% 1-RM or 8-12-RM, 8-12 reps, 1 or more sets, 3 times a week for 6 weeks or more. You should begin with 1 exercise for each major muscle group and make sure the days you do resistance training are not consecutive meaning you don't exercise the same muscle group two days in a row. As you continue your program you can add more exercises, add weight, and change up your program to include more days or just work specific muscle groups on specific days. As your muscles grow stronger you will be able to reduce the rest time between each set. You should rest for about 30 seconds between sets. Muscle is metabolically active and therefore when you gain muscle it burns more calories and helps to raise your metabolism.
If you do not have money for a gym membership or do not have acess to one here is a great website to create a work out plan only using your body weight.

You can also search for all kinds of exercises that use weight.
Cardiovascular Endurance-this is where you can burn fat the most and that leads to enhancing your muscles such as the abs. You need to include a warm-up and cool-down. I have an extensive answer on this section if you would like to read it
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuX3lm8.Tv.BqmVmNUvrkGDsy6IX?qid=20060712075759AAvmuOF
Body Composition-this includes your body fat percentage, bone frame, as well as how much muscle you have. Most people focus on only weight, but you should not put as much focus on that as much as what your body fat percentage is (get it tested at an exercise facility with skinfold calipers). You should also get circumference measurements done. This includes your neck, shoulder, chest, waist, abdominal, hip (buttocks), thigh (proximal), thigh (mid), thigh (distal), knee, calf, ankle, arm (bicep), forearm, and wrist. You should be able to do this at a gym. You should get all of this information done before you start your program and then you can see how you improve.
Flexibility- Most people do not even think about this, but it is very important because it helps to prevent injury and it helps you to perform every day activities. It also has an effect on all your other programs. You should perform 10-12 flexibility exercises every day. Slowly stretch the muscle to a point of mild discomfort but not necessarily pain. Hold stretch for 10-30 seconds, and do 3-5 reps for each stretch. This should take about 15-30 minutes per session. If you do not have time to do this every day, try to do it 2-3 times a week.
You have to make sure that you eat right and that means following the food guide pyramid. I have another answer that discusses this
