To lose weight quicker/better try this.
Cut ALL sugar drinks, try cranberry (not sweetened) or other natural juices, Hot or Cold Tea not sweetened. There are a lot that are a bit sweeter in nature. I think Hot tea works better for the internal system but it is Summer so... For GOD SAKE NO SWEET TEA that they have down South. Holy Moly that is like drinking a pound of sugar !
Cut ALL chips/snack that are in that category. If you HAVE TO SNACK, try Plain Popcorn from an Air-popper, NO Microwave popcorn. Or rice cakes with a THIN layer of natural PB ( good for a night time snack, PB helps keep the sugar up through the night. DD is hypoglycemic and this helps at night for the morning.
Eat ONLY 3 GOOD meals a day, don't miss any, and make it healthy good things. Pizza is ok on say Friday or Saturday as a Lunch but that's it. Try Oatmeal for the morning, it is fast, filling and will help keep your Blood Sugar up throughout the day. You can add a LITTLE brown sugar and some fresh fruit to make it yummy.
Take a LONG Walk Every night or morning, like 40 min to 1 hr. Get the fresh air, don't rush just walk, walk faster as time goes on. If you have someone to do it WITH you even BETTER !
If you have a Planet Fitness (or similar) try it. $10 a month (once a year it's like $40 or 50 payment). Just go and walk on the treadmill if you can't get outside (Winter/Hot Summer). That is all I did for a year just to get Moving. I am now this week doing abs and back which I NEED to get fit on for my Sciatica . I do the $21 a month as they have a massage chair and water massage bed I use after workout there... so worth it just for the water massage bed on my sciatica when it hurts, even if I can't work out.
Do 5 only of each (either before bed or in the AM) sit ups, 'girl knee' push ups, leg lifts. If you can do more great but keep it simple for a while of 5 each JUST to get in the habit of doing it every day !
What this all does is Breaks the Bad Habits with repetition to good choices and cutting the bad cold turkey.
If you can't do it cold turkey then you are not invested in it and you will quit and not lose anything or go right back to the bad ways.
@redhead1226 I can't think of the herb that might help with this, but search for it. Also try Acupuncture, believe it will work and go. I had a friends DD tried this and she had hope that it would help. IT DID, she was so happy, it also helped with her Depression too - I think because of the new out look of no ringing
If you go in saying it won't work, it won't. That goes with everything, but Acupuncture works for so many things. My Sciatica too ! I refuse to take pain meds.
I'm going to be talking to my DD about this to help with her Focus issue she says she has, and hopefully help with depression too.
OHHHHH almost forgot
Bad news: Fickin Cat wakes me at 3am with a live mouse and then proceeds to play with it on the way down the stairs till it goes behind the couch... MY Leather Couch, NOT my DD's crappy falling apart couch that she won't let me toss out !
I have Cats (obviously) so I can't put poison down.
GOOD NEWS : I have an electric Rat Zapper

So I put that under my couch, it is a recliner so there is loads of room under it for this). Cats can't get to it and it will Beep when it gets something. I just unplug and tilt into Outside trashcan. No touching cute little field mouse.
I do like little field mice, they have adorable eyes, just not in my house. I already know they are in the walls/attic
WOW that was long, sorry
