Not sure I've mentioned this in a previous thread or not but I've been working on slowly losing weight over the last eight or so months. My belief is slow and steady, with changes to lifestyle, primarily eating habits and exercise. No surprises there. What I discovered for myself is that one of my biggest obstacles was the demon alcohol...the before dinner cocktails just stimulated my appetite (as well as adding calories) so I have had to limit my drinking to just weekends (and make sure I don't make up for the rest of the week in those two days) and go for gin (or vodka) with diet tonic as a relatively low cal before dinner cocktail (especially at this time of year). What I also found was that it was good for me to mix up lots of different methods for eating over the last six months. Fasting for a period of time, then all vegetarian diet, then very low carb diet, then small meals every 3 hours, then mostly liquid (non-alcohol) diet, etc etc. I think it is good to "confuse" the body so it can't get used to any one of them. Throw in some added exercise and significantly increase water intake and I can get consistently between .5 to 1 lb per week loss. Still have another couple months to go at this rate to get to my goal but I am confident it will be reached. And btw, from a psychological standpoint, I follow the strict rule to weigh myself only once per week (same day and time) so as to avoid any discouragement from natural fluctuations on a daily basis.
