i’ve started a self-made plan for weight loss, since i am so busy with home, work and kid, i barely have time for exercises and gym. so, what i did was to walk to and from work, since it is just 15mins walk. i use stairs instead of elevator. i use restrooms two to three floors above or below me (via stairs 3-4 times a day).

i was 240lbs before i started my weight loss plan. after two weeks now i’m 260lbs! though i feel a little lighter. i can carry loads that i can’t before. i didn’t increase my food intake, just the same (i don’t want to starve myself!). i don’t drink sodas or any artificial concentrated juices. just the natural. i used to go to gym and lifted heavy weights (300 – 500 lbs), that was 15 years ago (i was 180lbs then).

in short the only thing i changed in my daily lifestyle was increase my physical activity without increasing food intake. but my weight is increasing instead of decreasing.

am i doing something wrong? what is happening in my body?
will i eventually loose weight?

I have decided to try to lose a few pounds but have no clue what I should be eating. I **** to and therefore never cook. I eat hot pockets for lunch and Mcdonald’s for dinner usually. So I need good fod ideas for my new weight loss plan. But it has to be fast easy stuff. Like Natural foods (besides all the fruits and veggies) and wrap ideas and what kind of wraps I should use. And if there are any processed foods that are less than terrible for me. And just for the record I am not a big chicken fan. Except for processes chicken slices which I am sure are not healthy ) Any other tips you have are welcome. I really want to succeed this time. Excerise ideas would be welcome too as I plan to start one of those as well. I understand I need both healthy food and excersise to lose the weight and keep it off. That is why it is so important to me to make it as easy to fit into my lifestyle. So i’ll stick with it, so any loss will be for life.

Here’s the deal… I have had 2 babies in 2 years. The oldest is 30 months now & youngest is 16 months. I’ve been working out a lot sense January, keeping track about 4-6 days a week. Eating very well, drinking lots of water… so far I’ve lost almost 50lbs. I’m 24 years old, 5″4 152 pounds. I would really like to get to 130lbs by Fall. I’m still planning on working out & eating good but I’m getting so discouraged, I feel like my body is wacked from having kids. I have been hearing a lot about 2 different type of weight loss drugs Alli & Phenodrine (sp?) & I’m starting to look into them. I’ve never actually looked into the medical side of weight loss, I’m more of a natural type girl but I’m sooo sick of this long road. I’m mostly worried about long term side effects & if it’s something that I would get off of & gain the weight back again? I don’t know… Has anyone used these drugs & can you tell me the good & the bad? Thank you!
Well the good thing is I have totally changed my lifestyle, with eating & exercise. I actually enjoy it now & I don’t think I will ever go back to the way I was before but it’s just so frustrating when I’m working my tail off & not seeing the results as fast as I want. I started working out 6 weeks post-partum,(16 months ago.) lost about 30 lbs in the first year then I hit a platu for a while, changed my exercise routine & as of Jaunary 2007 lost 20 more pounds. So I guess that’s pretty good but I want to get over this hump I’m at. 20lbs to go! Thanks for the input!
