the DINE-N-DASH DIET.
that way you don't waste your money on expensive "diet" food
and you get your exercise as well after every meal.

You might also want to consider some supplements as well.I'm getting ready to add ephedrine to my routine to help me shed the last 5-10
pounds that I want gone by spring.

LOL. :D:beer:;)

Seriously, though. Diets do not work unless they become your new eating habits on a fulltime basis. Too many people think that they can just choose a diet, lose tons of weight, then just go back to their old ways without the consequences.

All I would have to say is make an eating schedule, stick to it and don't snack in between. Try to have at least 3 of the 4 food groups in every meal so that you're not depriving your body. And it's a good idea to turn down seconds, it'll make a huge difference. Also, keep meal portions reasonable (ie. eat enough food for one instead of three... ;) ).

Good luck! :D

I believe that all sales will be banned in April. I know that VitaminWorld doesn't carry it anymore.

p.s. I know because someone came in looking for it when I was in the store. I'd never use the stuff.

Did you gain the 70lbs back because you stopped dieting? Thats the problem with fad diets, when you loose some weight you get off it and quickly gain it back.
Start eating properly, excercise and dont stop.

It has to be a lifestyle change since obviously if you go back to your old habits you'll just put the weight back on.

my motto is eat whatever.
but have enough phyisical activity to justify whatever the heck you eat.
if you just sit on a table all day working and love to eat (<--- my situation), then you need to go run/work out/whatever to balance whatever you eat.

I'VE TRIED ALL THE DIETS AND THEY SUCK.
just modify the way you eat by eating less and just walk/do more exercise when you can.
