Whats the most amount of weight you've ever managed to lose? And, how did you manage to do it?

Hopefully this will help give people who need to lose weight ideas... and save time by finding something that'll actually work!

I'm actually in need of losing more weight... I lost 40 pounds between June - October, but I've been stuck ever since then. I lost mine by replacing all my meals with Lean Cuisines. And with everything else, just watched the calories. I'm eating the exact same way I did before, but nothings happening.

I need to lose 10 - 15 more.

I managed to loose about 45 pounds.


Between end of January last year til about July or August.
lost another 5 pounds between September and November.

I started exercising, running alot, taebo. Weights, but mostly a lot of cardio and running.
Completely changed my diet. Cut out soda, white bread, pasta, and as much sugar as I could. Started eating more salads, drinking more water, fruits, and veggies.
I've slacked off this past month or two and probably gained 6 pounds of it back. But now i'm back to exercising everyday and eating really strict again, so it'll come off again soon. =)

As for more on my diet. I ate perhaps 1 or 2 egg whites a day or everyother day.
A handful of nuts for the good fat and protein I needed. Lean meats such as Chicken and Salmon. I tried to eat as much organic fruits and vegetables as possible. Really read the back of labels and understood how big a serving size is. Tried to cut out processed foods. Not eat so many crackers, cereals, breads, pastas. . .empty calorie stuff. If I needed to have some, then I'd just be smart. stick to whole grains. . . whole grain rice, whole grain pasta every so often. TRY to skip out on chocolate which is hard. And just ate smarter.

Exercise. . . started running about 1 mile. Now i'm about up to 4 miles. atleast 5 times a week. Did Taebo maybe 3 times a week. Worked out with weights 2-3 times a week. Took Ballet class for a while. I go to the gym now, and just started Spinning and Treading classes, they are fantastic and really push you. But just so you know, I lost all that weight before going to the gym, so you don't need to join one to loose weight. It really centered on all that running I did. Did about 15 minutes of abs a day as well. Just keep moving, lol.

Wow, thats great!

So did eating organic veggies and fruits make a big difference, compared to eating the regular stuff? What about dairy products? How many calories do you think you consumed a day?

Oh, and did you cut out meat too? I think most meat is pretty fattening. Is the extra protein really needed?

Eeek, excersize? Ahhh I'm so lazy. But that really gives me the motivation to start running!
