I have tried almost every diet out there and have had limited to no success. I lack true motivation, so I need something where I will see results fast to begin with so that I can see that the changes are working.
I have tried things like weight watchers, Jenny Craig and SureSlim and none of these really work for me. I have also tried a few of the meal replacement diets, but found myself famished in between "meals".
I am reasonably active and take my dogs for walks every day. my job is also reasonably physical and I work 10hour days. I guess my main problem is portion control/snacking.
How do I reduce my portions and still feel full at the same time. I have tried just reducing portion size, but find I get hungry quickly and end up snacking on bad stuff (particularly at work).

Any suggestions for healthy snacks that ,make you feel full?
Quick ways to kick start the process and see results fast?

I really need to lose the weight for health reasons – and this scares me too.

Thanks for your help.

I have had luck losing weight with the Wii-Fit. My husband bought it for me for Christmas, and so far I have lost about 8 pounds. It is a nice motivator because it allows you to weigh in every day and compliments you if you lose weight, and (ahem!) gets on your case if you don’t! It also has a nice range of exercises to choose from if you want to work hard for 30 minutes, or if you would rather play balance games when you are tired, you can do that, too.
You also see how many calories you burn, and how hard you worked to burn it off, so that 250 candy bar starts looking like an hour of jogging!

Edit – I just re-read your question. I think you are looking more for nutrition motivation help than tips on being motivated through exercise.
I eat foods that are filling and skip foods that are high in calorie. Canned soup, dry cerial, carrots, and grapefruit have worked out really well for me. They are low-cal and filling, and easy to prepare.

The rest of it is stuff you already know – eat a balanced diet, get enough rest, and find ways of getting active in your down time.

Is there an easy way to lose weight? That’s usually the question on most people’s minds this time of year as we hurdle towards bathing suit season. Often, just the thought of losing weight makes people think of deprivation diets and painful stomach rumblings.

But weight loss doesn’t have to be like that.

There are several easy ways to lose weight. Many slim people know about them and use them this time of year to take the weight off rapidly without a lot of fuss or hassle. This article will review 3 of these ways, giving you a bit about each.

As always, consult your doctor or health care team before making any changes to your diet and/or lifestyle.

1) Hoodia Gordonii

Hoodia is a natural appetite suppressant that tricks your brain into thinking that you’re full and turns off the desire to overeat. It not only helps turn off physical hunger but many people also report that they do not even have the desire to overeat, which makes it REALLY easy to lose weight.

Hoodia is a natural plant extract from the South African desert and has been declared safe to take by experts. It has also been eaten by the South African tribesman for years with no ill effects.

Compared to synthetic diet pills that can make you all jittery and nervous (and may cause serious side effects), Hoodia Gordonii is an excellent natural alternative. People taking it have reported losing up to 5-7 pounds per week.

The only downside is that the market is flooded with ‘fake’ Hoodia. Because there is too much demand and not enough supply (Hoodia plants take approximately 4-7 years to mature), a lot of companies are using fake Hoodia and/or not putting enough Hoodia into their pills.

If you end up buying a poor brand of Hoodia, it won’t work for you and you’ll have wasted your money. So be careful when shopping to buy from a company that uses South African Hoodia Gordonii and offers you certification like their C.I.T.E.S. certificate and lab analysis. If you do your research ahead of time, you’ll be much more likely to find pure Hoodia and get the weight loss results you want.

2) Weight Loss Patch

Weight loss patches are growing in popularity because they’re easy to use, often work better than pills and offer a great variety of fat burning ingredients.

Weight loss patches work by decreasing your appetite and/or increasing your metabolism or both. Instead of taking something through your mouth, a weight loss patch is placed on the skin and delivers it’s ingredients transdermally (through your skin).

For many people with compromised digestive systems, this can be a better way of absorbing the fat-burning ingredients into their system.

You can get weight loss patches that offer Hoodia, green tea, caffeine, guarana, fucus vesiculosus (a natural seaweed that boosts your thyroid) and other fat burning ingredients.

It’s important to choose a weight loss patch that only has ingredients you feel comfortable with (for example, if caffeine makes you feel jumpy, avoid those weight loss patches that use green tea and/or caffeine.)

The beauty of a weight loss patch is that it’s working to help you lose weight while you’re going about your daily business. How easy is that?

3) Diet Home Delivery

Diet delivery is becoming an extremely popular way for busy people to lose weight. These days, we may want to eat better – but really, who has the time? It’s so much easier to have the food prepared for you.

Many popular diets are offering their diet food delivered straight to your door. You pay a monthly fee and you either get the food delivered weekly or daily to your door.

Unlike in the past, diet delivery is actually quite affordable due to companies growing and buying in bulk. Many plans start at around $15-25 a day for all 3 meals.

Plus it’s extremely convenient. In most cases you just take out your meal from the fridge or freezer, follow the heating instructions for 5-10 minutes and eat. Diet delivery is like having a dietitian or personal chef helping you lose weight.

So those are 3 easy way to lose weight. They give many people that extra push that is often needed when it comes to weight loss.

Remember however that the easiest way to lose weight is found when you match the right plan to your lifestyle and unique tastes. Choose a weight loss plan that gets you excited and motivated – you’ll have much better (and probably faster) results!

Im a vegetarian but i dont seem to be losing weight.
does anyone know a good way lose atleast 10 pounds?
i dont want to use pills of any weird products. i just want a natural way to lose weight but everything i have tried like dietig and excersize hasn’t worked. any suggestions??

Rather than trying all of these weight loss programs and such, I just recommend cutting down on the amount of food you eat. Don’t eat tons between meals. And if you do get hungry in between, eat some fruit or yogurt and drink lots of water. Ice tea helps too. Also don’t eat any later than 6. This way you give your body time to work it off. Make sure you know the difference between wanting to eat, and really needing to.

About a month ago i started loosing weight dramatically even though i wasn’t attempting to. I was just busy. Not eating as much at lunch. Skipping supper or eating something smaller. Then after that i just wasn’t hungry that often. But because i’m already small and was really loosing the weight. (i dropped 20 pounds in a couple weeks). My boyfriend made me eat more.

So good luck on everything!

I am a 15 and a half year old girl. I weight about 142 and believe it or not, I have not started my period yet, so that might be the cause of my weight, but I still want to lose weight now, so is there a fun, safe, and quick way for a girl my age to lose weight? I want to be around 110 or 115 at least. Also, it’s mainly around my stomach that I want to lose weight. Any way to lose weight will be appreciated! Thank you!

when you sit down to eat, look at your plate, the divide it by half and eat only half!!!! your cup too!!!! i promise you will not die!!! and you will defenitely lose weight, and you will be even hotter!

To attain any objective in life, you must have a purpose for pursuing your objective. Your purpose of learning how to lose weight might be to live a healthier life. It is a proven fact that the slimmer, trimmer you are, the greater your chances of living a healthier, longer life free of debilitating diseases usually associated with obesity. Learning how to lose weight is relatively easy if you put your mind to it. To lose weight, and shed those unnecessary extra pounds, you must be determined to follow through on a disciplined plan of action or prescription.

There are many programs canvassing the best methods on how to lose weight. Some of these ‘how to lose weight’ prescriptions are quite simple to follow, while others require you to go through a rigorous regime, in order to attain your aim of losing weight and attaining that trim, slim, perfect body shape that you see on TV and poster adverts. Whichever method you choose to follow in order to lose weight by getting rid of those unnecessary extra pounds, the most important thing is for you to

follow through on your plan of action, in a sustained disciplined manner.

Some of the best and most effective approaches on how to lose weight involve your combining several methods of weight control simultaneously. Dieting has proven to be the most popular method of losing weight. In dieting, you reduce the amount of your food intake. The food you eat must also be low in fats and proteins but rich in fibers. Food rich in fats and proteins contain ‘bad’ cholesterol which increases your weight, without helping to build up your muscle mass. Fibers on the other hand not only help to build your muscles, but also help you to lose weight by giving your body only ‘good, cholesterol.

Another method which you can use to lose weight is by doing regular physical exercises. Exercises like jogging, running, walking, weight lifting and several others when done on a regular basis help you to lose weight in a gradual though slow process. Exercises also help you to keep your body healthy through improved blood circulation. ‘Couch potatoes’ who do little or no exercise, are more prone to blood related ailments, and need to learn to lose weight in order to improve their blood circulation and save themselves from debilitating diseases caused by poor blood circulation. This group of people can reduce their obesity by losing weight through regular exercises. You do not need to undergo a regime of rigorous exercises in order for you to lose weight. A regular daily plan of brisk walking for thirty minutes to an hour will get you to lose as much weight as rigorous jogging or running.

Research has established that the best course of action in getting to lose weight is by combining several methods of weight controls at the same time. For example, dieting while combined with regular exercises will not only help weight by shedding those unwanted extra body mass, but will also guarantee you a healthier, longer life.
