losing weight
alright, so i want to lose weight. any inspirational/motivational advice with tips on how to make losing weight successful?
please include like what i can eat for breakfast (a quick "to-go" meal would be great), for lunch, and for dinner.
also what exercising methods can i do? i do have a treadmill, so how long a day should i use it?
and how much weight can i lose the healthy way if i stick to it?
i am overweight so it's not gonna be easy to just "get right on it" so really help me out, and anyone with experience to give me advice would be great.
and for the "bonus" any great weight-loss products to recommend? i already use slim-fast shakes so any bars or desserts (healthy alternative ones) would be good.
thanks

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
those other girls basically covered it. but you have to be dedicated. at first you will lose weight quickly, but as you lose more weight you won't lose as much each week. don't panic this is normal. you need to keep going in order to reach your goal.
some healthy foods are the special k ones. here is the site:

you can eat the cereal for breakfast or a special k protein bar.
i personally LOVE the special k vanilla crisp cereal bars. they are only 90 calories but they taste like candy! so they make a great snack when you want something sweet.
it is important that you drink like 6 water bottles a day. but if you not really in to water then try some flavored water like fruit20 or the special k protein water.

GOOD LUCK!

I have lost weight before (about 15 pounds), but I gained it all right back because I did it the wrong way. I was working out a LOT, and I was eating just enough to support it. I lost a lot of muscle, but I still looked skinny and fit because I was working out. However, since I denied myself of anything sugary or "bad", I hit a point when I got lazy about my eating, and I began to allow myself that stuff. Now, I crave it all the time and I binge on it, and I have a nice layer of fat across my stomach, covering up all that beautiful muscle that I built up. So basically I did it for nothing...
My advice: Don't be in any rush. Allow yourself a small treat every night, or every so often.
I like to eat the Kashi brand cereals and granola bars: they're delicious and they fill you up and keep you full.
Drink water!!!! You'll feel full quicker, and you'll feel energized before those fun workouts. I suggest making it a habit to go for a jog every morning or afternoon not neccesarily on the treadmill... it gets boring :( Go at whatever pace you'd like. The only thing that matters is that you're creating a new lifestyle.
Change it up-- remember this is not temporary. It is forever, so make it exciting!

k, well i lost weight, so i know where your at.
for breakfast, you can eat like a yoplait fat free yougurt, they are really good for you.
[also try to drink like 3 glasses of low fat or fat free milk a day]
lunch you can have like a turkey sandwhich or maybe like progresso soup.
dinner you can have lean cusines, they have alot of differnt meals and theyre really good.
to start use the treadmill for like 30 minutes, you dont even have to do it everyday, maybe everyother day, you can walk, jog, run, just go.
then the next week, maybe do 60 minutes everyotherday. or whatever, but dont overdo it to start.
a healthy weight to lose is 1-2 pounds a week, but it also depends on your weight, if your really overweight, youll lose more weight because you have more to lose.
just keep thinking on how much you want to be healthy &stuff.
&the 100 calorie packs are really good.
&try to stay away from soda and junk.
good luck, feel free to ask me anything.
hope i helped.
