Stand in front of a full length mirror every morning naked and take a good look at yourself. Motivation is the key factor. If you are overweight, you have the visual and it will help you do "the right thing" as far as your eating habits that day are concerned. If you are looking really good you will be motivated to keep on doing "the right thing" when it comes to your eating and exercise routines. Fad diets do not work. Eat sensibly (you know what is good and what is not) and burn calories through exercise every day.

fat does not look good in the nude.... and regardless of how a person may try to convince you that they are happy with themselves that way... in reality, fat people secretly wish otherwise.
but self control and discipline is all that is required to have a gorgeously shaped body... so the question is how important is it to you ?... and if you are willing to make the sacrifices to achieve it.
it really that simple... forget all the "diet" ads and the "diet" fads...
balance your food intake... against real physical activity like climbing, jogging, etc.
and there is no magic... no mystery.... just plain old SELF DISCIPLINE

I was at walmart with two of my friends today and were talking about buying a bucket for one of them and I suggested a tub if ice cream, so we can be happy, sick and able to move her fish. She said that wouldn't work, not just because her and I are lactose intolerant, but also because she is on a diet. I think she is quite thin already and doesn't need to be on a diet (then again, I only think you should be on a diet if its effecting your health. I think dieting is kind of pointless for them because they don't even have any bulges, let alone fat, and dieting gets expensive.
So in the debate where I argued they have no need to diet, the other one said that if I asked pretty much any girl, she would say at some point they were on a diet, if not on one now. I would like to show them, that not girl out there diets. Please tell me there are quite a few people here who can back me up.

Ever since I got into my 20's, I started putting weight on. I was always comfortable with it, but the last 6 years, I became WAY too sedentary, and put on a lot of weight. At 36 years old, I was topping out at 278. Now, I'm 6'3", and a big guy already, so a lot of people told me I carried the weight okay, but I couldn't stand it anymore. I wasn't comfortable being naked anymore. So this past January, I really started watching what I eat, and started hitting the gym again. I then started running again, and now I'm feeling great. I'm down to 230 pounds and LOVE being naked all over again. I'm shooting to lose 15 more pounds, but even if I don't, I feel great again. I'm moving around much more, and enjoying life.

Just don't start jumping off rooftops anymore. At 36 you could break a hip. LOL
All kidding aside, a couple years ago I started running also, droped about 35 lb and was feeling great. Then I stoped and put the weight right back on. It works but you have to keep it up.
I'm going to get started before I get back in the shape I was in.

The rooftop jumping won't stop until I can't walk no more!
I'm moving out of Florida in June and heading up to Montreal. I'm giving up the year round warmth (and nude outside), but I LOVE hiking, so I'll be doing plenty of that to keep in shape again. Plus, I'm dying to do some nude hiking. I made a vow never to let myself get out of shape like that again.

Yes, "rooftopwilly", I agree with you. Losing the weight is only the beginning. Keeping it off is the commitment. I never had a weight issue until my last stay in Africa. I was there a year and a half, and did not do much for activity - unusual for me. When I got back to the US, I had gained a "beer belly" without the beer! Scary for me! I took a photo of myself at the worst possible angle to show the new "growth", printed it, and posted it in a very visible place in my bedroom. Then I started working out. Took a while, but I got rid of it. Now I take a new photo once a month to show off the worst of me, and kep it posted to remind me of anything I need to work on. A mirror or a photo - they do help, if you LOOK! I have ALSO vowed - like you - to never get that way again as long as I can help it. Thanks for the confirmation.

Good on you northwest. I hope I look as good as you at 61. When I was young, I never had a weight issue. I was a paratrooper in the army, and weighed 195 at the most, at 6'3". It wasn't until I broke my ankle, 6 months before I got out of the army, at the age of 20, that I started putting on some weight. It wasn't for another 3 or 4 years that I started to get into weight lifting either. But I hit a stalemate in life, with working, raising a family, etc, that made me too sedentary, and I put on too much weight. As I said, in 2 months, I'm moving back up north, where there is plenty of hiking and mountains, so I plan on keeping at it and staying in shape.

As weight loss has always been an issue with me the only way to combat weight issues is simply not to eat anything without thinking about it for at least an hour. I can't tell you why this method works with me, and I dissappoint myself that I have to resort to mind games on myself, but hey, it seems to help. Always have a bowl of fruit around is the other trick, I think of grapes as nature's candy!

Dieting, When 18 I weighed 155 lbs, at 75 I weigh 155 lbs. Health foods I recommend are milk, real ice cream and butter along with lots of fruits and vegetables. Walking, running, swimming, tennis, and light weight lifting are important too. But, having the 'right' genes is most important.
Best Wishes, Jim

Jim, I agree - the 'right' genes make a HUGE difference. I have many friends who work on weight issues MUCH harder than me - and with much LESS results. My mother is 84, and is still very fit and healthy. She walks a lot and has altered her diet to be more 'health consious' (sp?) like you. Now, I'm NOT a 'health freak', like I've said before, but we all know that today's store-bought foods are very lacking in nutrition. Many of them actually cause us to put on weight without trying. No wonder it's so hard for many people to maintain a healthy body, when all you can buy in most stores is 'junk food'.
So, rooftopwilly, we'll be waiting for that 'northern' report. Really, good luck. You WOULD love hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in the summer. I almost never run into someone else.

I'm only saying this because I'm trying on my own to break away from what the "experts", say. The problem with the American diet is not that there are "too many carbs" or "too much fat" or "too much FOOD".
We have a combination of toxins and lack of exercise. Those of you drinking diet sodas need to know that they not only slow your metabolism, but actually make you crave more food. i.e., you want to move less and eat more. By the way, 90% of the American diet is in some way related to corn (corn syrup, corn products, corn-fed animals, etc.). Corn also slows the metabolism.
As for the exercise, I've been spending a few minutes a day working on the gluteus muscles. The theory being that they are the largest muscle group, and muscles burn a lot of energy even at rest. a slight percentage increase in the gluteus would mean a lot of muscle mass. I'll let you know how it goes.
Anyway, lay off the sugar, lay off the artificial sugar, and burn off a few calories during the commercial breaks. That, theoretically, should do it.
Oh -- and don't skip breakfast.

You've got that right. Then on top of that, we were trained (by guilt sometimes) to eat everything we get.
For a couple of years I traveled extensively for my job. During that time, I gained a lot of weight. One trip, I spent several weeks in Germany and actually lost weight, even while those around me gained. Why? I kept beer consumption to a reasonable level -- one at dinner rather than two or three -- but mostly, the portions were a much better size.

You are right regarding beer consumption, bornnude. At the end of 2006 I left alcahol alone completely and as a beer drink ( pints of good English bitter ) the pounds dropped offwith exercising as well. It is all back on so I'm off to the gym this afternoon to start losing the beer belly lol

Tuffers, Same with Allen(my husband). He's made the statement that he's accepted his body so much that he's added to it. LOL
