But yes, ultimately you need to restrict diet more. Ah, that makes more sense. But yes, ultimately you need to restrict diet more.

The / is my "or" sign. So I eat for breakfast bagel w/cream cheese OR oatmeal with brown sugar and almonds OR Carnation instant breakfast drink with some dry cereal. Lunch is either leftovers from dinner the night before OR tomato soup made with milk OR ham sandwich with chips and a pop OR tuna salad with mayo, mustard, and spices. I think the longer workout on Friday and Sunday would be great...except my darling husband doesn't enjoy the gym. He has a hard time keeping his mind occupied when he's on the treadmill or elliptical. It's funny because there are lots of cute women there, so I would have thought that they would have kept his mind occupied. I do think the long workout on Friday will definitely work. My husband works swing shift so I can go when he leaves for work and spend some quality time there. I can see where I need to tweak what I am eating though. No pop or chips is a good start.

Maybe try to do 2 long workouts on the Fridays and Sundays - if you can do them with your partner you still get to spend time together. Really you need to get more active and restrict the eating.

I joined a gym last February and was doing quite well (had dropped 30 pounds from March to July), then I severely sprained my right ankle. I am finally cleared to begin true working out again. I need help with diet. Although I don't have a sweet tooth, I do have very low blood sugar and am on a necessary medication that makes it even lower. I work extremely long days...Monday through Thursday I leave my house around 8:30 in the morning and return around 9:00 at night. If I go to the gym, it is more like 10 or 10:30 at night. I eat lunch while working as we are very busy. I do crave salty foods but I really do try to stay away from them. Lots and lots of belly fat. I am off work every Friday, every other Saturday, and on Sundays. The time that I am off is the time that my husband and I do all the necessary things like clean house, see each other, grocery shop, etc. Normal meals for a day...breakfast either bagel with cream cheese/oatmeal with brown sugar and almonds/carnation instant breakfast drink with 1% milk and some dry cereal...lunch is either leftovers from dinner the night before/tomato soup made with milk/ham sandwich with chips and a pop/or tuna salad with mayo, mustard, and spices. I do drink some water, although I know i should drink more. I need advice on how to tweak these meals. I do have to eat late at night, but that is usually just a small snack like some cheese or air-popped popcorn (with butter) and a glass of milk as I have acid reflux and anything heavy at night will make me pretty sick. Thank you for your help. So, I know I need to change my diet and work out more.

Dance probably was improving your fitness and building lean muscle tissue too. The reason why it did not help lose weight is mostly about volume of exercise - 4 hours of dance a week is still only an average of 34 minutes exercise a day - aim for 45-60 minutes a day. Diet does need to be really healthy. Drop the junk, the "carbs" etc. BYT, fresh fruit and vegetables are carbs! Hi Stephanie, the daily walking is a good move, really you should also do some more.

In the summer of 2011 i started a diet with no carbs and just fresh fruit, vegtables and meats for the 6 weeks. i obviously lost a fair amount of weight. 1 and a half stone to be exact, but i didnt realize that as soon as i had carbs etc i would just gain the weight twice as fast as i lost it! so my new years resolution was to lose weight as i have also been bullied in the past. recently i have started a much better diet which means i have special k for breakfast, usually some kind of corn snack for lunch and a meet/fish dish for dinner. i do drink quite alot of squash. i used to do 4 hours of dancing a week, but this had no impact on my weight lose. i go on a brisk walk with my dog now for 30-40 mins a day, but i need more tips to lose weight! i hope to lose 2 and a half stone by june. HELP!!!:) hiya,

Do not confuse healthy food with "health food". Many traditional meals are healthy, what makes food unhealthy is often in processing.

My name is Amy and I'm a 19year old student. During the summer I lost a half stone whilst at home however since moving away from home to university I have put this back on again! I am extremely conscious about how I look and think about my weight everyday. Even though I think about it constantly I can't seem to change my eating habits. I have a strong dislike for most healthy foods and was wondering is there any way I can get on track and lose weight before I go home again at Easter or am I a lost cause =(! Hiya..

The key is to focus on nutritious vegetables, get enough protein (eggs, pulses, nuts, seeds, soy etc.) and avoid "empty carbs" like bread, pasta, noodles and high GI vegetables, as these tend to lead to weight gain.

Eat rice once a day, and reduce the portion size. Have more vegetables in the curry and less rice.
