so i'm starting a diet tomorrow. going to be really strict for a month or so, very little to eat, and then once i can get a boost of confidence by losing some weight, stick to a normal, reasonable, healthy diet. ive been trying to lose weight forever. i miss being skinny and in shape. i think my biggest problem is when i screw up once i give up on the whole diet. this is just kind of a general question, but anyone have any dieting tips? words of encouragement? ways to stay on track?

don't starve yourself.

Diets are always better started tomorrow..........

It should just be a NEW way of LIVING! Diets never last you should just always eat HEALTHY! In the long run you will not only feel better & maybe look better too!

I don't eat much anyway, take vitamins and drink lots
of water on a daily basis, and work out 4-6 times a week.
I have for a long time, except for a couple periods of illness and/or surgery.
So I can't really comment on whether "dieting"
works or not, I can say that while cutting down intake is
good, not too much-eat smaller portions yes, and every so
often. You can't have your metabolism stalling at some times
and overloading at others. Also exercise in moderation, and
start out slow. Good luck.

I lost 50 pounds bro the best way to do it is

Drink Water
Exercise
Cut out salts and sweets
Record your progress each week
Make small goals each week

Pray about it bro

Im also going tomorrow to start working harder on the way I eat
change some bad habits and ill record my progress

you can do it bro best of luck peaz!!

Smaller portions does help also!!!!!

yeah it really does but the only problem I have is my mom makes some really heavy foods that's why it's kind of hard for me u know?

Simple solution...............Move out!

I cant im still going to school and helping her out in the bills
plus our family is different...we are Christians old skool =)

Awwwww that's sweet! My 20 yr old daughter helps me too! Only i'm moving to S. Lake Tahoe & she's really upset about it!

Why are you moving?

Well because I really LOVE it when i'm there! I HIKE everyday & HIKING is GREAT up there! Besides I go to school & I think it will be good for me to live there!

When i'm there it feels like (HEAVEN)

Is your daughter moving with you or is she living by herself and goin to stay where she lives

Well she hardly comes home as it is, she won't go she dos not want to..............She can live with her DAD That's the only reason i'm taking my time I have already found a place.............I have never been away from her!

wow it must be hard but if you then but im also 20 so im sure she will understand on the long run plus il will be nice when you invite
her to go visit your nice place =)

Well as it is now she has NO stability so it will be good for her her DAD has small children and a wife so she will have RULES! I'm just too easy going!

True juggling between dad and mom can be stressfull on all so I agree maybe with her dad and the other mom she will find a more suitable enviroment to grow up with boundaries ...but she's 20?? you think it's going to be a big difference at her age??

Well it's a long story all i can do is hope & pray!
