I've had success with the diabetic diet. A friend is a dietician and she set me up. It's all about portion control and balance. I was allowed so much carbs, protein etc each day and when I finished that catagory I had to find something to eat in another catagory. I wrote everything down. That was really an eye opener. I lost 3lbs the first week and 3 lbs the second week then 2lbs the third week. In a few months I had lost 20 lbs. I could even go out to eat. It was easy. Plus there's 'free' foods like sugar free jello and fat free whipped cream to help with the sweet tooth.

There is a supplement company called Standard Process (www.standardprocess.com), and they have what is called the "21 Day Purification Program". I have done a lot of cleanses, and this one is my absolute favorite. It is healthy, and the results are amazing and long-lasting. It will change your cravings and your weight! Plus, make sure that any weight loss program you do encourages fat loss and not muscle, there is a big difference. Make sure you add weight training to your exercise routine too, if you build muscle that muscle will burn fat even when you're not working out! Best wishes!

Buy the book "The Fat-Burning Workout" by Joyce Vedral. It is not expensive at all and if you will follow her steps which are the best I have ever done and have done them for over ten years and testify they work, you will not only shed pounds but have a firm and toned body like you never have had. Her way is free weights and you do 20 minutes a day. You do your upper body two times a week and your lower body two times a week and just eat sensibly and cut your fat intake. When I started I was 25lbs overweight and lost it in three months and was toned like I never was before. I went from a size 11 to a size 6 in that short of time and all I used were 3lb weights to start with and then 5lb.You are turning your fat into muscle which burns more calories. You will look lighter than you are for you will have such more toned muscle. That is why men can lose weight faster than women. I never used her 10lb for they were too much for me. Anyway, I love this for I can easily find 20 minutes and you can do this whatever days you like and can do this wherever you go. But, you will be sore like you never have been when you start and that tells you the exercises work and they are easy to do too. Her book also helps you get motivated and how it all works to get your body where you want it.

I'm right there with you, girl! :-)
I work out 6 days/week - mainly running - and eat (mostly) sensible meals. But, I have a HORRIBLE sweet tooth and am a "carbaholic". I am not overweight at all, but would like to lose 5-10 lbs as well.

What I've heard helps is a diet that is high in fruits and veggies and low on dense carbs (breads, refined sugars, etc.). My friend also suggested a cookbook (which I plan to get today) called the "Sonoma Diet". The meals look delicious, and it's not too heavy on the carbs.

I've also found incorporating pilates and strength training to be helpful.

Good luck...I'll be interested in hearing what works for you.

Fruit has a lot of sugar anyway...I know you're asking about exercise but South Beach Diet really, really helped me. I cut out a lot of carbs and lost 13 pounds in my first two weeks. I've lost 28 pounds total so far in a few months. Good luck!

Try www.drnatura.com ...when you read it, it may seem like a hoax, but I am on it and it WORKS! Good Luck!

A friend of mine is on "weight watchers" and have lost almost 20 pounds in less than 3 months... Good luck to you!
