  • I walked my road every day. 6 miles at a very fast pace. I ate healthy and lost the 27 pounds I wanted to loose in 1 and a half months. I really didn't starve myself either...walking makes the weight FALL off me always has.

  • I have started counting calories. If you eat 500 less a day than how many you need to maintain your weight you will lose 1 pound in a week. It sounds time consuming but after a couple of weeks it is not a problem. Drink more water. I still drink one soda a day and so far I have lost like 10 pounds. Smaller portions. Eat a small snack like an apple, or granola bar in between meals that way you dont feel like your are starving. I also exercise at least 30 min a day. Jumping jacks or jump roping are good when there is a little one around. Also workout videos or tv. You just have to keep with it. I have a group of girls where I live and we make sure the others are doing good. It is nice to have support. Good luck.
