January 4, 200818 yr I started at 12:00 a.m. on the 1st. So far so good I'm down 5lbs. :thumb: Getting through the first week is hard. At least I have the "Biggest Loser" show to inspire me each week.
January 4, 200818 yr Best of luck! I've tried the "new year, new diet" thing before and I just can't stick with it. Hopefully you have a little more will than me!
January 4, 200818 yr I'm not really calling it a diet, I just changed my eating "situation" Since I knew January 1st was the usual start date for people, I started on Christmas. :lol: I'm at 1500 calories a day. Which basically means nothing enjoyable, BUT I am following that food pyramid fairly closely. I won't weigh myself til the end of each month and go from there.
January 4, 200818 yr The doctor told me yesterday that I had high blood pressure and needed to lose some weight.....and watch what I eat, and drink. So I guess I'm officially dieting. I need to lose about 25 pounds, hopefully by late spring.
January 4, 200818 yr Nurtsisystem is the way to go if you are serious about dieting. Before I started it, I weighed 272 pounds in August. I did it for 10 weeks and since I have just followed the plan of eating healthy and staying active. I'm proud to say that I now weigh 218 pounds!!!

January 4, 200818 yr I have honestly trained myself so much now that what I eat I have been on what most people consider a "diet" for about 15 months. To me it is not even a "diet", just my normal lifestyle. In training for my half-marathon, I may buckle down and hit it even harder and try to get down
January 4, 200818 yr My doctor told me that drinking regular sodas rather than a diet soda will put 10lbs/year on you........ Studies have also shown the side effects of diet sodas can be really damaging. I never drink regular sodas, but I try and limit my diet soda intake as much as possible.
January 4, 200818 yr I wouldnt call it a diet, but I definitly try to watch what I eat only because I dont excercise often/never.
January 4, 200818 yr Author Studies have also shown the side effects of diet sodas can be really damaging. I'd dipped 1 can a day of Copenhagen Snuff for over 20 years and I have been tobacco free now for over 3 years now. That was 10 times easier than giving up my Diet Mt. Dew. The headace's are unbearable of the lack of caffine. I don't think I can diet and give up my Dew at the same time. I can't give everything up thats bad for me or my wife will not have anything to complain about. :argue:
January 4, 200818 yr Not on a diet but trying to cut my portions in half. That's what I'm going to try to do. It worked for me once before, plus walking 2 miles a day 5 days per week.
January 4, 200818 yr Last year, I swore never to diet again. I exercised more and ate less and lost 25 pounds. If I felt like pigging out I did, just not on a regular basis. It was easier than any diet I ever went on. The weight came of gradually, but I feel better than I have in a few years. My blood pressure, which was borderline is now normal and I dropped my cholesterol 54 points without the use of prescription medication (did use fish oil). That being said, I did put some back on over the holidays, but felt less guilty about it, because I know I will be going back to my "new old ways"....starting Monday! I think diets truly set you up to fail...........I fail on hundreds of them. I am a true believer of NEVER dieting again.
