I have replaced chips, pizza, snack crackers with fruit when watching the NFL on weekends. :) There is a great tip!

Drink a lot of liquids. Aim for two liters of water, gatorade, milk, orange juice a day combined. Something like that. :)

Park at the back of the parking-lot. Forceyourself to walk! Mwahahaha

Yep, good ole bachelor diet is not good for loosing weight. Pizza, chips & dip, beer, etc. are not the most healthy either. Eating more fruit and vegetables is good for you! :D

Sipping on something all day can curb your hunger. Personally, I now prefer water. Used to drink diet cokes or something similar. Water is so much better for you.

Yep, walk everywhere you can. Use the steps instead of elevator -- even if you only walk down -- will help. As you said, park your car farther away and walk.

Every little bit counts.

Also, stick with it. Many times you won't see any results for weeks/months if you are slowly changing your diet. Stay away from fad diets. They are a waste of money and don't work for most.
 
Hey all!

I stopped watching this thread as I thought it had dried up, but thought I'd let you all know I've stuck to my change religiously, and I have lost 2 stone 6lbs in 8 weeks.

Another 2 stone 8lbs to go!

Congrats! You're doing well… :)

Are you doing any specific diet or just exercising more and eating less? Whatever it is seems to be really taking off the pounds… Almost 4lb/week?
 
It sounds really lame, but I lost 50 pounds on the subway diet.
I just ate 6-inch low-fat sandwichs for lunch everyday, and drank a lot of water... Unfortunatly, its five years later and I've gained it all back.

Congratulations Josh :)
 
I strongly recommend not going on a diet. Diets rarely work and you are more likely to gain additional weight as your body tries to prevent starvation in the future.

Rather I would suggest a change in lifestyle in which you change your eating habits. You should find foods that you enjoy eating and feel good afterwards about. You should avoid foods that give you an initial rush and then feel bad afterward. Avoid foods you feel addicted to.

Here are some suggestions:

1) Eat less processed foods by looking at the ingredients (avoid sugars, fructose, enriched items, too much salt, ingredients you can not pronounce). Fresh foods are the best.
2) Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. They should take up most of your plate. Try a wide variety and ones you enjoy.
3) Eat plenty of proteins found in beans, nuts, soy, and legumes.
4) Eat carbohydrates which can be found in whole grain products - whole grain pastas and breads. rice, and potatoes.

Common foods I enjoy in no particular order (you may enjoy others): oatmeal, flax seed cereals, soymilk, apples, oranges, raisins, carrots, salads, cabage, whole grain wheat breads or pita, brown rice, tofu, soy cheese, almonds, pecans, beans, whole grain pasta, asparagus, broccoli, green beans, potatoes.

Eating foods high in fiber tend to fill you up quickly.

I am a Vegan and do not feel that I am missing out on any foods. Vegans who do not eat much processed foods can eat all the time whenever they are hungry and loose weight. I lost 10-15 pounds without trying. Vegan can also easily get all the protein, Iron, and calcium they need by eating well balanced meals.

Good luck!:)
