I need to lose weight period, but at least 5 by about the third week of December. I have a terrible sweet tooth and can't help munching down sugary stuff. Which is not too good for me because of the weight and I have been diagnosed with IBS so I have a sensitive stomach now. Any help?

Go to SparkPeople.com and join. It's completely free, and a lot of people have success with it. There are meal plans, exercise suggestions, and all kinds of personal calculations to help you meet your goals, as well as teams to join and message boards to socialize and get support from other members. Most notably, they have a calorie calculator and tracker so you can keep track of what you're eating.



Make sure you eat often and well. Just tracking everything that you're eating will help you to realize what you need to do to drop a few pounds. Keep your goals realistic, and remember that you can still eat sweets- just try to replace them with healthier versions, like preserves on whole wheat, or organic cookies with lots of fiber.



Find someone to keep you accountable (but not to nag you!) that you can go to when you need support or motivation. Also, allow yourself a cheat day (I take one every other week) where you get to eat whatever you want. Starting a good exercise program will help to boost your metabolism and help you lose weight- cardio is the best for this.

Don't stop those matters take time. And, do not weight your self every day. Also, avert sitting down to look at TV for lengthy durations of time. Try, workout for approximately two weeks after which begin preserving monitor of your weight. By then you will have outcome.

well an easy way for me and i have told this before to someone who asked about low calorie food is mcdonald's apple dipper with low fat caramel oh so yummy and only 105 calorie's , a large stalk of celery with a tablespoon of honey to dip it in is only like 75 calories and totally fill's me up quick , i could totally eat like 5 or 6 of them so easily . If you can eat orange's those are also sweet and good for you at only 86 calorie's for a large one . also try walking a little more i have heard but don't know if true that for every step you burn 1 calorie . little change's in your eating habit lower calorie food with small portion's help in such a big way it is unreal . if you drink alot of soda like i do (at least a gallon a day lol) switch to diet . Instead of eating four doughnut's cut down to three small step's equal big change's !!! Good Luck. you can email me if you need any support , i am currenting trying to lose weight myself !!

Chew sugarless gum to fill the craving. Limit your portions at meal times. Drink water flavored with lemon, lime, or orange wedge instead of soda; and most importantly EXERCISE. The easiest is walking. I lost 23 lbs. since June. You have to have the determination that you want to accomplish this, and stick to it. Don't let yourself down in favor of a donut. Be kind to yourself, once you make this your regular routine you won't want to mess it up.

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!

running is great for weight loss and toning also. try to eat healthy and drink alot.



try and limit your calories to around 1200 a day. peanut butter is high in calories but also has protein so be careful of how much you eat a day!



try interval training. jog for 2 mins and walk for 1 then repeat for 30 - 40 mins a day.

Cut down on the sweets for they are not good for your IBS.

For your Irritable Bowel Syndrome, I know quite a lot about that: Fibre is a good food for your intestines - it improves how they work. There are two types of fibre:

*Soluble fiber - helps both diarrhea and constipation. It dissolves in water and forms a gel-like material. Many foods contain soluble fiber such as apples, beans and citrus fruits. Psyllium, a natural vegetable fiber, is a also a soluble fiber. You can buy psyllium supplements (some brand names: Fiberall, Metamucil, Perdiem) to drink and you can add it to other foods.

*Insoluble fiber - helps constipation by moving material through your digestive system and adding bulk to your stool. Insoluble fiber is in whole grain breads, wheat bran and many vegetables.



I found a site with the 'ten commandments of eating for IBS:

"1. ALWAYS eat soluble fiber first, eat soluble fiber whenever your stomach is empty, and make soluble fiber foods the largest component of every meal and snack.



2. Minimize your fat intake to 25% of your diet, max. Focus on heart-healthy monounsaturated oils. Read labels and at restaurants, ask.



3. Never eat high fat foods, even in small portions, on an empty stomach or without soluble fiber. Better still, don’t eat them at all.



4.. Eliminate all triggers - red meat, dairy, fried foods, egg yolks, coffee, soda pop, and alcohol - from your diet.



5. Never, never, never eat insoluble fiber on an empty stomach, in large quantities at one sitting, or without soluble fiber. Cook, chop, or puree insoluble fiber foods to make them safer.



6. Eat small portions frequently, calmly, and leisurely.



7. If you’re unsure about something, DON’T EAT IT. It’s not worth the risk.



8. Food is fun and eating should be pleasurable. Take the time and make the effort to eat safely, and then enjoy yourself.



9. Remember that you have absolute and total control over your diet. No one can force you to eat something you know you shouldn’t.



10. Practice creative substitution, not deprivation. Use soy or rice replacements for dairy, two egg whites to replace a whole egg, try low-fat vegetarian versions of meat products or use skinless chicken breasts and seafood, replace some oil with fruit purees in breads or cakes, use veggie broth instead of oil in sauces, bake with cocoa powder (it’s fat free) instead of solid chocolate. Use herbs, baking extracts (vanilla, peppermint, maple, etc.) and mild spices generously to heighten flavors. "
