Yes, without exercising, you can't lose weight. You need exercising and eat right foods and drink plenty of liquid (water or herbal teas) then it will helps to lose weight.

I visited health conference voluntarily at 5 weeks spa resort last year. It's for obese people how to take care of their health etc. They said that it's too stress for the people to count out how many calories they eat a day. Easy to count out fat a day than calories... Interesting...

If you want to lose weight then count up to 60 gram fat a day. I prefer to count up to 60 gram fat a day because it's easy than count out how many calories I eat a day.

Here is a healthy tip to get your cheese fix. Broccoli and cheese bakes. You don't eat quite as much cheese and broccoli is healthy. Although I hate broccoli.

I am surprised that your doctor told you that a slice of cheese has 100 calories and not healthy which I respectfully disagree to because there're types of cheeses have different calories and fat grams.

The cheese is healthy but watch out how many % fat and soduim they have. You has to limit with it.

Check those link.

The number of calories in different cheese is listed in the table below and shows cheese calories per 100 grams (3.5 oz). It is difficult to accurately determine the calorie content per portion as size differs between individuals and products, therefore the values are displayed for comparison purposes.

Cheese Calories in cheese how many calories in various types cheeses

I choose to eat low fat with low soduim cheese - cottage cheese and hard cheese are very low fat and high protein. I eat them a lot.

If you want to bake the cheese with something but you should make sure that they have low fat in cheese. It's important.

I need to get a body fat measurement. I'm hoping to get down to 6-7%. I estimate I'm at 8-10% today. My abs still aren't showing up.

Need more protein.

I visit to Fitness Studio daily with my son. Some bodybuilders are there... They were being taught to eat protein a lot to gain the muscles.

darkangel8603 · 11-14-2007, 12:37 AM

sure i'll join, i am horribly obese and want to lose weight badly.

Name: darkangel8603

Final Goal:130-150

1month Goal (for 12/5): 5lbs

What type of diet: more veggies and fruits as well some meats and less breads and way less cheese. I am nut over cheese or dairy products but the sucky thing is i am lactose intolerant so I need to stop eating those stuff to make myself feel better. Also walking everyday and don't give in to night eating cravings.

Dixie · 11-17-2007, 07:08 PM

So far I have been trying to be more active outside the 8 hours on my feet at work. I am going to try to walk for 45 mins after work and walk for an hour to an hour and a half on weekends. It may not be all in one lump sum but I am getting there. I think having to get out and work the dogs is also helping. I am leveling out emotionally and Im building up stamina at the same time. If you have a pet I very much encourage you to take them for a walk with you every day. It will really benefit you both in the long run.

With me on Monday I am going to start a new routine. I get off work at 2:00pm then I go get my DD, then I can come back home change into some regular clothes then go for a few rounds around the house for 45 mins while my DD plays on her playset. This will do us both some major good.

I have been cutting back on calories but I dont want to cut back so much that my glucose levels bottom out causing me more problems than I need at the moment.

This may be an opportune time for use to share tips on how to get through the holidays whilst dieting with Thanksgiving just around the corner and Christmas slightly beyond that.

Dixie · 11-23-2007, 07:58 PM

OK for those of you attempting the Subway diet - beware Subway sandwhiches can make ya fat!

I have been doing some experimenting with some low cal combinations that are still quite flavorful, like today for lunch me and my DD went to Subway and I ordered a 6 inch subway Club Sandwhich on wheat bread with swiss cheese, lettuce and tomatoes for condiments and ONE LINE of mayonnaise, I looked on the napkin and it happened to have the club sandwhich on there - the overall caloric value was just under 400 calories. It filled me up and still had flavor but without the added fat and calories.

I have been told that all the breads except for wheat and white bread are hand rolled so the caloric value of them will vary and you have to go light on the sauces.

Unfortunately there are still many people (including one in my own family) that think that a footlong Italian BMT in Parmesean Bread loaded with extra cheese and think that because it has lettuce on it, the extra fat and calories won't go to their hips. Unfortunately subway doesn't have a magic powder to sprinkle on the sandwhiches to make them completely fat and calorie free

dont even mention the potato chips and soft drink that have around 400 calories combined.

so for a healthy subway sandwhich you can only have a 6 inch sandwhich on wheat or white bread, no extra cheese and only ONE LINE of any sauce you choose. And stay away from fatty meats like pepperoni, salami and ham and go for leaner meats like turkey and roast beef. No chips and a diet coke and your meal will be filling and you wont go overboard.

Miss-Delectable · 11-23-2007, 09:11 PM

Good tip, Dixie.
Best of luck on losing weight. I have no doubt you'll do it.

I always order 6 inch with low cal ingredients with absolutely no cheese or dressings. It, indeed, is filling.

I, too, am trying to lose weight. Fortunately I'm in the warm season so I should be losing weights somewhat easily than my Northern hemisphere counterpart.

People'll save heaps if they eat more healthy food and less takeout, believe it or not. It helps if you fill up your kitchen with fruits and vegetables and no to less junkfood. Popcorn's ok if you eat it plain.

Good luck to all of you!

darkangel8603 · 11-24-2007, 12:48 AM

sorry to go off topic here, but Miss-Delectable, what fast food are in Australia like do they have mcdonald? wendy? taco bell? kfc? I am actually curious lol.

DFM - if your'e not being serious please leave the thread immediately this is not a pro-ana thread, we are here to promote healthy ways of losing weight.

Darkangel - they have many of the named restaurants in Australia including McDonald's, Subway, KFC, and other smaller Australian fast food chains. Although I am sure certain chains are not as popular down there as they are here in the States.

They also have Starbucks down there.

Angel · 11-24-2007, 03:26 PM

I did sneak a peak at the scale in my parents' bathroom and noticed I did gain some weight, but I didn’t get depressed or beat myself up for that, I simply allowed myself to enjoy the holiday and relax with my family. I also have been working on the emotional issues, the negative thinking of feeling that I can not lose the weight but I know I’ll be able to reach my goal after the holiday is over with, I know I've said this last year on New Year's resolutions but however with the wedding plans and with everything that's been going on put a lot of stress in me, but next year should be better, I plan on sticking with my goal to lose the weight, so I can feel much healthier and proud that I was able to do it without feeling despressed...

Remember the Holiday is a time of joy, connection, and love and definitely not a time to be on a diet. So, appreciate the delicious food served over the holidays! I'll be back after the holiday is over with...

Good luck to all of you and have a nice holiday!

Dixie · 11-24-2007, 09:39 PM

Thats OK Angel - I just stay on my diet for the most part except for the days we are feasting and for 2-3 days stuffing myself I eat lots of fiber and drink lots of fluid to help digest all that extra stuff then Im back on track.

Angel · 11-24-2007, 10:03 PM

That's great Dixie, I wish I had you as my diet partner

Hi,
Dixie's correct. We have McDonalds, KFC, Burger King but we call it Hungry Jack, Subway, Starbucks and Pizza Hut plus now we have Dominos (eeeww). Australian chain's Red Rooster. Actually McDonalds the most popular franchise here. In fact, one town could have three or more McDonalds, no joke.

We used to have Taco Bell but I think now we only have one in the state. No Wendy, though. You can find Wendy's in New Zealand.

The most popular takeout in Australia is Fish and Chips. JClarke, Koala and Opal can verify this fact.

cool, i believe you about the mcdonald. my city of 90 000 there is hmm at least 5 or 6 mcdonald, but its not as much as tim horton, u can drive anywhere without seeing one.

as for taco bell, i think it is getting less and less of taco bell, i guess it not as popular. but thanks for the information its kinda strange to think somewhere as far as Australia, where there is a opposite season and time, that they would have the same fast food restaurants as in Canada.

I would love to go to australa to see the koala bears otehr animals there. hehe.

Miss-Delectable · 11-25-2007, 08:22 AM

Ahh, Tim Horton! It's been years since I last was in one. They had good hot drinks if I remember right but their donuts are kinda sweet. Too sweet for lil' old moi.

Dixie · 11-25-2007, 10:14 PM

The good thing about visiting AUS is that you can already speak the language for the most part and they still have 'American' fast food joints available. Although whilst down there, you'd be mandated to try the fish and chips,

I know I would!

I just wish I could get down there to visit for a week or two!

I would but unfortunately i don't like sea food lol.

Dixie · 11-25-2007, 10:16 PM

Its not really sea food IMO- Fish and Chips is pretty much the equivalent of Fried Catfish and French Fries except beer is involved and the way the fries are cooked to make them 'chips'.

I am working on eating cheese less. It is working good so far. What I did was not go out and buy a huge block of cheese everytime I ran out. It is so easy for me not to crave it during the day but at night before I go to bed, the cravings become so unbearable.

I started drinking water with freshly squeezed lemon juice and now my soda intake has gone down.

I am not sure how much I have lost since I posted here.

I have been running in the basement, doing jabs on the punching bag and sit ups. I told my hubby I want a TV and exercise tapes for the basement. I am getting into a routine now.
