I bring baon to work. I spend about Php1200 for groceries for  5 working days - this includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. this beats eating out for me.

10. How does diet affect to your body? Do you feel any cravings?
I've been doing this for quite a while so I'm no longer craving for rice or cakes which I used to eat everyday. If I do crave for something, I buy it and just eat a portion then I give it away. It's a bit wasteful, I know, but I get crazy when I have sudden craving attacks.

[annie19]

I eat less rice, more on fruits and veggies, and I exercise every morning

[Tigershark09]

i had a health scare that pushed me to diet and exercise for good. i gained almost 40 pounds in the past 4 years and im so lazy to do anything about it until i started having heartburns and acid reflux, symptoms almost similar to a heart attack. hay naku, kaya ngayon i promised myself to lose at least 30 pounds but this time i want to do it naturally. i tried almost everything in the past. slimfast drink, meridia, xenical, 7 day diet, 3 day diet, water diet, liquid diet, 7 day detox, slimming tea, etc. etc. everything was temporary and you get addicted to it and it always has side effects. kaya now what i do:

1. brisk walking 30 mins- 1 hour every morning. kahit -20 degrees dito, i make sure  i go out in the morning and walk. it clears your mind, gives you motivation and its a good start to your day.

2. eat brown toast in the morning. its easy in the stomach and helps me to feel full.

3. i stop drinking coffee and colas because of my acid reflux. just water water water and a little fruit juice if my stomach can take it.

4. i eat more often, and in small quantities di gaya dati na lamon kung lamon at ginugutom ko ang sarili ko

5. i do after 5:30 p or after 6:00 p. that means thats my last full meal (dinner). after that when i get hungry, banana na lang or apple. sinasanay ko yung stomach ko sa ganoong routine.

6. exercise again in the evening, at least 30 minutes. i open the youtube and follow the dance exercises there and i do threadmill.

so far so good, i think im losing 3-4 pounds a week and i feel good about myself. i realize that no matter what kind of diet you choose, you have to exercise. that's the only way to go.
i hoping and praying that i'll stick with this until i reach my desired weight.

goodluck to all!

1. What kind of diet that you are doing?
Less of everything.

2. What do you usually eat for diet?
Fruits, green tea, meat parin, more veggies.

3. What are the foods that you are avoiding to eat and why?
I avoid rice na lalo na sa gabi.

4. How many times do you eat in one day? 6 meals? or do you skip meals so that you will be able to attain your goal?

2-3 times a day, smaller servings. Sometimes I skip dinner, itutulog ko nalang since super pagod na ko pagdating ng gabi.

5. What made you decide to do the diet?
I'm turning 30 na this year, I wanted to get pregnant na, and my OB said one of the factors daw ng hirap sa pagconceive is being overweight (actually considered obese na ako).

6. Were you able to accomplish your goal? How long it was accomplished?
Slowly but surely, I started my diet last November 2009, I weighed 220 lbs, the last time I weighed I was at 190 lbs. My goal is to go back to my old weight before I got married, that was 5 years ago and I was around 130 lbs, chubby pero di pa masyadong obese for my height.

7. Do you feel any temptation to other foods that may affect to your diet? And why?
I also have cheat days, super stressful kasi ang work ko, kaya to release tension, mga once a week I have to eat what I want too. I don't overdiet baka maloka ako.

8.  How much do you spend for the diet? I mean do you really budget the food that you are going to eat?
Hmm, I do drink slimming coffee once a week, kasi medyo bumabagal utak ko, so pag day off ko lang sya iniinom. I also take slimming capsules(2 caps a day) and gluta supplements plus vitamin e para di ako masyadong manghina and di mabawasan energy ko kahit less food intake. Medyo magastos pero it's worth it.

9. Do you have any suggestions to avoid spending too much money just for the diet? Meaning can you give us tips to make tipid in terms of diet?
Sa akin kasi expensive ang pagdadiet, minsan medyo mapili na ako sa kinakain ko, siguro para makatipid don't eat too much of everything. 

10. How does diet affect to your body? Do you feel any cravings?
Sometimes may cravings, kumakain parin naman ako, wag lang sobra. I feel a lot lighter compared last year, yung tipong pagbangon ko sa umaga di na masakit ulo ko. Di na kasi ako natutulog ng busog. I feel so much better. I don't deprive myself naman sa food na gusto ko, just don't eat too much. Anything na sobra masama.

[super bratinella]

After not eating rice and monitoring closely the amount of what I eat after 1year from 128lbs down to 108lbs. I need to go to the gym to remove my flabs.

[levy]

I came across this awesome and informative blog on losing those extra pounds. It focuses on providing useful, high-quality weight loss tips and tricks. One of the lines that got my attention is when he said that " Losing weight is easy. The biggest issue people face when they get ready to lose weight is they don’t have enough will power." Yes, I want to lose weight but I don't have the will power to do it.  I hope through this blog I can get rid of those extra pounds once and for all.

[mikey_mouse_219]

i normally weigh around 105-110lbs prior to being a wife and a mom. since i gave birth wala na. my weight won't bulge anymore!

for my new year's resolution i decided to lose weight. andami kona kasing damit na hindi masuot, before i used to wear a small size now its large na (

what i did is lessen my food intake. i eat heavy breakfast, light lunch quick merienda and no dinner. i also try to avoid sugary foods. i have a sweet tooth pa naman and its hard for me not to eat those desserts talaga! sometimes i get a bite or two na lang.

dinner i hardly eat na din. if i do, just a few spoonful lang to satisfy my craving. i dont want to deny myself of good food. lessen lang. ang hirap naman hindi kumain lalo na kung masarap ang nakahain!

so far its working for me. i started around feb na and i've lost 5lbs na rin. although not noticeable yet by others. my husband said my tummy's smaller na daw.

my weight loss is slow but im ok with that, as long as i have progress. mahirap yung boom! weight loss of how many lbs agad in a few weeks. scary.

Hi GT sisses!  Share ko lang experiences ko re: dieting.

I am no stranger to diets.  I think I did almost every diet there is out there.  When I was in college, I became so obsessed with being slim that I didn't know I was already suffering from anorexia nervosa.  My normal weight is 110-115 lbs. but I dropped to as low as 85 lbs.  Not satisfied with dieting, I also went to the gym every day.  I could say na baliw talaga ako nun.  hehe.

After gaining all the weight back and losing it again, then gaining it back again... I am now a proud (and healthy) mom to a very healthy 3 month-old baby boy.  Based on all my past experiences with losing weight, I learned that the best way is to lead a healthy lifestyle.  Now, I don't deprive myself of food (since I breastfeed), but I do choose what I eat.  I stay away from junkfood while I can (though paminsan-minsan I give in to Marty's chicharon, haha) and soft drinks.  I eat lots of vegetables and fruits, and I eat rice too (I need carbs to do my daily work and chores), but I regulate it.  My exercise now is running -- no, I don't join marathons (yet) since I don't have the time, but every now and then during weekends, isi-singit ko siya sa daily routine ko.  If walang time pumunta sa park or any running track, kahit sa treadmill lang sa gym here sa condo.  At any rate, taking care of my baby is in itself already a workout   Most importantly, I drink LOTS of water.  Important 'yan, plus it helps keep your skin healthy and supple.

[lilmissme]

nutrimeal shakes + usana essentials = diet!

yung nutrimeal kasi nakakatanggal [textspeak!] ng gutom, as in [textspeak!] mga officemate ko pag uminom nito ang hyper nila kahit walang pahinga at walang kain, wala ring hangover kahit uminom ka, tas naglose talaga sila ng weight! medyo mahal lang talaga, pero ang dami na rin kasi nilang natry na products na nasayang lang din pera nila. ito lang talaga yung nagustuhan nila kasi nakakapayat na, nakaka-boost pa ng energy at immune system!
