Any tried and true Diet Miracles out there?

[cybilx10]

I know that this is an Oh my aching type of thing, but it actually is making me feel ill. My knees ache, all of my joints just feel constricted and the fact that I look like Im about 7 months pregnant doesnt help. I carry all of my weight in my midsection.

I weigh the same I did when I gave birth 11 yrs ago (almost 12). I lost all of the weight after I gave birth, but when my husband started going through his ordeal I gained it all back.
I realistically need to lose roughly 40lbs to not be obese any longer and about 70 to be at my ideal weight for my height.

I exercise moderately (walking 3x's a week) but the foods is where it ends for me. I just cant seem to find a good diet foods plan that I can work and stick with. I am a meat and potatoes type of girl so I need my red meat and my carbs just need to do them in lesser amounts.

Is there anything out there that you ladies swear by? I really need to get healthier and I just dont know where to start at.


BTW, if I am posting in the wrong area, please forgive me!!!

I still swear by the honey. I have now lost 65 lbs. and eat meat and potatoes. I eat whatever I want. Try it and it should work for you too. It melts fat like you wouldn't believe unless you try it for yourself. I hope you give this a try. I plan on posting my before and after picture after I lose a little bit more weight.

My husband is using honey for his arthritis since you told me about it a few weeks ago, maybe I will try it.

Shelly how many tablespoons do you eat a day??

[mrsjschultz]

I'm on WW. I LOVE the new program!! I started 1/25/11 and I'm down a total of 15lb's as of last week (tomorrow is my next WI day). I have yet to even start exercising....but consistently lose 1-2lb's a week. I feel like a cheeseball but it's true - you really can eat whatever you want, just in moderation ;) LOL.

FWIW, I hated the old program, never lost a pound on it and now that fruits and veggies are zero points I can at least fill up on those!!

Shelly, are you mixing the honey with lemon? Are you putting it in warm water to drink? I've read various ways that the honey should be injested to help with weight loss. I've been mixing cinnamon honey (get it from a local guy) and lemon, two weeks so far and I'm not sure I'm seeing any weight loss. Probably would help if I had a scale that I was sure worked, but that's another story LOL.

Also, how long have you been using it? Does the weight come off slowly? I knew I'd read about this somewhere on here.

TIA

I have been eating in the mornings 1 tablespoon of honey straight off of the spoon, like a big blob of it, LOL I do not measure it just use a tablespoon. It is sickening sweet but only takes a second to swallow it. Sometimes at night I eat one if I feel like it but you don't have to. I have been doing this faithfully every day for a little over a year. It is a slow weight loss but no diet, no starving, no counting calories, nothing at all but eating the honey. I was told not to mix it with anything because it has to go straight to your system per my Dr. I am now a 10 but my clothes are getting too big. I know a 10 isn't small but for me it is, LOL I also have went from a shoe size 10 to a 8 1/2. I went from a 2x shirt to an extra large. I have not lost any in my top (just my stomach). My rings are falling off and my double chin is gone now. I didn't know I could lose weight at first by eating honey. I was taking it for sinus problems and the weight started falling off so I asked my Dr. It also helps lower blood pressure for some reason. My blood pressure is almost normal and I might have to come off my meds which is a very good thing.

This is very interesting, I never knew that! Thanks Shelley!
