Weight loss help PLEASE! Need tips and advice from people who have been there...?

I recently lost like 30 lbs over a 3 month period. Wonderful right? I am 5'4';. I started at about 210 lbs. I now weigh around 180. The problem is that I had no diet plan. Maybe it was the stress that I was under at the time but the pounds were melting off and people were starting to ask me if I was on drugs and everything else! ( I wasn't, and am not.)





The thing is, I am at a standstill now and have just become motivated to lose more weight. I would like to get down to a healthier weight. My goal is 140. Does anyone have any ideas or tips that would help me to lose that 40 lbs? Obviously I would like to lose it as fast as possible but am not going to be unrealistic about it.





I would really like to hear tips from people who started out bigger, like me, and have had success. Also, any advice from professionals would be much appreciated!!





Thanks everyone :)Weight loss help PLEASE! Need tips and advice from people who have been there...?
When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.


If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which


will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow


underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without


exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For


diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food


after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on


your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If


you don't eat wheat then you don't eat all those sticky, fatty goey


cakes, you don't eat junk food, and you don't eat biscuits. But your


diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to


calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,


start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the


most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a


lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,


disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target


your problem areas for men and women. It's not necessarily to become a


bodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help you


to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).
