how long do you usually stay on it? and do you cheat? do you have a treat day? what makes your diet successful? do you set a time limit for your diet.. ie.. im staying on it for one month.. or something like that?

for me ive gone on them a few times in my life.. maybe 5 times.. seems that the longest ive lasted is 2 weeks... i dont cheat , and once i allowed one day on the weekend to go off it..only for one item though lol..ive never set a time limit for my diets.. thinking i should though

I'm just working on eating healthier in general. Not any crazy diet or anything.

yea me too.. but i went a step further and am counting calories as well.. im amazed at how much more energy i have! im a startch person.. and my gawe i think it was killing me!! thats some bad stuff!!if you over eat it...i still like it though.. i allow like 2 peices of bread a day. and not really anymore than that..

I am naturally slim and stay that way through walking my dog and golf, I can eating most anything and as long as I stay active, I have no problem!!

I have been on the 6 week body makeover since the last week in February.It teaches you how to eat for your bodytype,and you eat 5-6 times a day.It is the best thing I have ever done-your not hungry and I feel satisfied so I don't cheat.I have lost 35 pds so far and want at least 20 more off.The only thing I couldn't give up completely was Mtn Dew-cuz I am totally addicted to the stuff.

Honestly, dieting is an art. Oddly just adjusting your eating habits can go a long way. You can skip breakfast and eat a decent lunch but again it is exercise, monitoring anything that can be converted into fat, and not eating everything under the sun is what works usually.

Here is something people get very wrong, If you try exercising and you do not sweat, you are not exercising. Now in a swimming pool the whole sweat thing does not apply. Also people serious about weight loss and maintenance work out more than once a day and they have a varied regiment. All the Thai Bo in the world will not do the whole job! There has to be balance and spreading the effort out over your whole body.

Now eating healthy is very good because it keeps you from getting into trouble in the first place.

wow nikita that is dedication!! congrats! i have drank diet pop for yrs,<When i drink it> i remember my ex hubby when i first met him.. he drank coke.. well i drank diet coke.. and he started drinking it too.. in one month with that being his only change he lost 20 lbs! unreal! he drank at least a 6 pack a day probabaly 9 of them lol.. i was thinking geesh!! if only i drank pop that wasnt diet lol!! but i certainly dont drink that much!! nor have i ever! humm i think i had pop about a month ago....

Ive found great sex is a wonderful way to loose weight!!

well i have not been into sweets for yrs... since before i gained weight.. so humm not eaten much of them for the last 6 yrs or so.. i have ice cream like 2 times a yr... small amount too... chocolate rare.. cant eat much of it.. maybe 2 Halloween sized peices at most.. and only like 4 times a yr lol... cake maybe once or twice a yr.. really im abnormal in the sweet area...now starchy cookies i can eat lol.. but really dont much id say maybe 5 packs of them in a yr.. the issue is breads or noodles for me.. and i love to cook.. so sauces can get really fattening lol..

Yeah-but u can't use that to lose weight when ur single

shuddup mikey! i would not know.. im gonna have to figure out something else lol

I can help U two gorgeous ladies out with that!!

Remember of course it's Diet and Excerise, TOGETHER. You cannot have diet and no excercise, just like you can't have excercise and no diet. You must do both, and seriously. I would also suggest writing off desserts completely. Lots of citrus and foods with a high fiber content seem to work too. For drinks other than the obvious no sugar sodas, try not to have diet drinks inluding pepsi max or coke zero, even though they don't have sugar, they are still loaded with all kinds of weird chemicals that can't possibly be good for your body. So I would say maybe more water, vitamin waters, teas, and plenty of fruit and vegetable juices if you can.

you and the rest of mankind if we would let them!

Hey a guys gotta try when U are as gorgeous as U are!!

oh i was talking about when i wasnt on a diet lol!!! and i did buy propel... flavored water with vitimins.. i drink those now at least 2 a day sometimes 4...i was just saying i did not pile on weight from sweets... as a matter of fact i dont know anyone who eats sweets less that i do.... the sodium in the pop is horrible.. i drink diet lemon lime when i drink it. i rarely drink it by itself lol usually with whiskey in it when i do drink it..i do exercise now... for the last 2 weeks everyday... 1-3 hours a day.. and also am more active doing other things as well....i was only wondering what others do.. or how long they stay on diets.. etc.. for the last 8 days i have stayed under 1000 calories per day.. only 3 of those days i got into 900 something calories.. 2 days i was under 300 calories... i have to gradually go up... cause i know its not good i struggle to get to 1000 some days.. its because i get full and am trying to eat the right foods... lots of fruits and veggies..

Hey I have always loved to play with "buttons" on blouses!!

im curious... is there a better time of the day to exercise?

Ive always been told morning U are refreshed and your mind is more open to excersise rather than later in the day!!

That may me true, but sometimes it's a matter of preference. For me, I prefer afternoons or evenings. I start like an old cadillac in the morning, it takes a while. So as long as you make a committment to stick with an excerise regiment it shouldn't matter too much what time of day it is.
