I've watched this 3 times tonight! http://www.nachi.tv/episode40


You're not watching this video enough then! I recommend increasing it to at least 20 times a day.

If this regiment does not work to keep the extra weight off, we will add other exercises to your routine

Diets won't work. Changing your eating habits can help immensely. Baby steps. The longer it takes to come off, the longer it will stay off.

Start reading the labels. If it has high fructose corn syrup, put it back on the shelf. If it has an artificial sweetener, put it back on the shelf. It is better to use regular sugar than the artificial stuff.

The last way to help yourself is to walk. Everyday, twice a day, 20 minutes each time. If it rains, take an umbrella. If it snows, wear a parka. If its sunny......for gods sake wear long pants....we couldn't take seeing those legs....

So how about a challenge? A % weight loss challenge for all those inspectors that find themselves squeeeeeezing through the crawl spaces and sucking wind when you are done. I challenge the chubbies of which I am a full member. What say you all?

[Billy Boerner]

Eat small meals and snacks 5-6 times a day. You stop eating you'll stop loosing weight odd huh?

Run or fast walk 30 mins a day preferrably 45 5 days a week to loose weight. 3 days a week after you lost it.

Drink water

Flirt with the Mrs more if your married. It's great excercise.

did it stay off Linas????

[ldapkus]

Yes, Until I started back to eating more carbs. My wife is more disciplined and she kept it off for over 2 years now.

If it tastes good, spit it out.

I lost 20 pounds in a week once. Of course I had to unexpectedly loose my job. (Don't recommend this diet.)

I did Nutrisystem, I lost 50 lbs., kept it off for a year so far.
I need to lose another 50.

[ROBERT W. NEWLAND, JR.]

I did the low carb deal for about 3 years. Wanted to lose 25 lbs but ended up losing 57 lbs! It was the easiest diet I had ever been on. I've since put it all back on. I had several people tell me they thought I was sick because I lost so much weight! I think like others have said, don't go for the gimmicks just change your eating habits and get off the couch Now, I need to lose that 25 lbs.... again

WWsWhen you drink a lot of water, it helps with "everything" body wise. It also helps with other "addictions".
My momma always told me "If you really WANT something, go and get it, period". Think "Outside-the-box" also, dieting is not "rocket-science" it's really pretty easy to understand, the "breaking of poor eating habits" is the "hard" part.
Nike has the greatest "self-help" slogan of all time "Just do it", unless of course your planning a bank robbery or you find yourself wanting to plunge off a bridge. And one more tidbit, before I go,.... as RR says... plan, plan, plan.... write out a daily plan & stick with it (what you'll eat & when you eat it)... it eliminates two pests: hurrying and indecision (which usually aid in "poor eating choices"). And also remember, everyone gets the same 24 hrs. a day, so if your big, skinny, busy, bored, unhappy, satisfied, etc. you choose to be that way, because that's what your doing with your time... if you find yourself saying "but".. there inlays the main problem.

Wishing everyone out there in iNachi land the best.......
