do you have any tips on losing weight?

All good things take time. If you want to lose weight you need to be consistent ... drinking water alone will not do it if you fill yourself with calories and carbs that you don't need.

Stay away from cookies, cakes, pie, ice cream and the like and switch to fresh fruits and lots of veggies.

You don't say what kind of exercise you do or how often, but you need to be consistent and not stop because "nothing is happening."

I bike normally 20 miles per day. I stay pretty clear of sugars, lots of carbs and especially junk or fast foods, and I maintain my weight well. I drink LOADS of water and green tea, staying away from calorie-laden soft drinks. Diet soft drinks are OK, but water and green tea are better.

Don't get on the scale every day until you're at your goal. Do the scale routine once a week.

It will seem like it takes forever if you keep watching the scale or if you cheat.

I would agree, it does seem like it takes forever. I have tried many things, from special diets, diet pills, counting calories, ect. But the only thing that really worked for me was eating very healthy and exercise 3 to 4 times a week. You have to focus on the small amounts that you lose, set small goals. Just keep working at it, and you will get where you want to be.

I know the feeling. I need to lose weight too, a lot of weight, and have not had much success. I don't really have much advice for you, just wanted to say that you're not alone.

It does take forever, but that's a good thing. It means you're developing proper eating habits that can stay with you for a lifetime. Besides, rapid weight loss is what causes the "floppy skin" effect. When you lose weight slowly through proper diet and exercise, your skin also slowly goes back to where it should be. When weight is dropped quickly (like when gastric bypass is done), leftover skin around the arms and legs doesn't yet have the muscle tone underneath to help define it, so it ends up just hanging there. Many people who have lost hundreds of pounds by way of a successful gastric bypass have later needed reconstructive plastic surgery to remove the skin flaps. How much weight are you trying to lose?

they are all right if you really want to lose weight, you really have to wait and have patience...no pain no glory..:) and avoid those junk foods, sweets like cakes and ice creams..

Its all in the mind if you really want to loss weight you will most people use the word fat, over weight,or plus size I beleive lossing weight Is all In the mind if you really want to loss pounds beleive in yourself to do it, don't let anyone put you down doing it, and loss the weight for you and not for your better judgment friends.

I have been on a roll now for 20 days-

I've lost 5 lbs so far....

This is what has been helping me...

....I make smoothies in the blender- juice, fruit, lots of ice and yogurt.
It fills me up till lunch time.

....I only eat 1/2 tuna salad sand on wheat for lunch

.... I make lots of veggies and eat some soup and rice and stuff like that, keeping my entire day of cal under 1500

Also...walk, walk, walk and do keep up with the water.

For extra support... I have done a "weightloss tarot reading" for the month... it helps to show me the weightloss challenges for the month and how to avoid them...

Silly maybe, but very accurate.

Good Luck-
