im going on a diet starting june 2. i have a diet plan..but does anyone have any advice for me..


thanks heather

I'm actually starting my diet tomorrow! lol I've tried to go on diets before but I have never stuck with them. I am really determined this time. I bought a scale and plan to weight myself once a week (just like on the Biggest Loser). I made a chart and wrote down every single Sunday (weight in day) from tomorrow's date all the way until the last Sunday before my wedding next year (wedding is 09-04-09). Each Sunday I plan on recording my weight on this chart and then at the end of each month, calculate how much I've lost. Though I would like to lose more, my goal to lose before the wedding would be 75 lbs. which is only 5 lbs. a month. So, I'm really hoping I can pull it off. I just think keeping track of what I lose will be helpfull to me. I also plan on keeping a diet journel, where I will write down what times I eat and exactly what I eat each and every day. That way if I'm not losing like weight I can look back and make some changes to see what works. I'll also use the journal to write down an entry every day ~ like my thoughts and frustrations. I think that will also help me to stay on track if I can vent. As far as my actual diet, I plan on cutting out starches, buying and eating more fresh vegetables rather than frozen (cause believe it or not, some frozen veggies have calories and sodium), cutting out red meat and eating more fish, of course eating more fruit as well. All I currently drink is diet coke, so I plan on drinking ALOT more water and maybe treating myself to 1 can of diet coke a day versus my 8 cans a day now. Another change I know I personally need to make is actually eating breakfast. All I have now is my cup of coffee, I rarely eat in the morning. And I know that is very important in healthy living. I plan on having things like fresh fruit, nonfat yogert, fresh fruit and yogert smoothies, a small bowl of healthy cereal....things like that. I also sat down the other day and made lists for each meal of the day of things I think are healthy. My fiance' and I plan on taking a 30 minute walk every day after dinner too. Hope my plan helps you out. Keep me updated! It's good to know someone else is doing this too.

I started my diet last week and the plan is eat small portions around 4-5 times a day, limit myself to one soda a day and drink alotof water juice and milk. Also since I sit at work I am going to walk for one of my breaks each day and my sis and I are taking pilates twice a week until the wedding. I only have like 80 days to lose around 7 pounds so I hope this works. I have never really dieted before so I am giving it go.

I started my diet about a week ago. I am using Free Diet Plans at SparkPeople . I am not following their diet plan, I am making my own, but I do use it to record my food and work out. It gives me ranges of calories/fat/carbs/protein that I should be eating each day and workout recomendations. As far as my diet, I am eating 5-6 small meals a day instead of three larger ones. I am also making sure I eat breakfast, which is very hard for me. I am eating foods with lots of fiber to help keep me fuller, longer. I am also eating lots of fruits and veggies. With summer here, it is a great time to eat lots of fresh, local produce. I can't wait for the farmers markets to start, yum.

i cant eat 5-6 times a day. i would get sick. i just eat smaller meals and walk my new puppy. lol im serious this puppy walks like 3 times a day. lolol i stop eatin no mater what after 7pm. its hard bc my man gets hungry and eats right in front of me. lolol i just keep tellin myself no no u can do it. lolol
