Sa mga umiinom ng green tea? Anong brand gamit nyo? Mine kasi is Golden Spoon sya kc yung cheaper sa mall...

^ I absolutely love Yogi. I've tried the Blueberry Slim Life (with Garcinia Cambogia so it supports one's dieting efforts) and Kombucha varieties. Very, very relaxing. Can't sleep without sipping a tall cup. Because of this brand, one cup of coffee na lang ako per day. Dati, 3 to 4 cups. Will try Republic of Tea's Peppermint Chocolate or Trader Joe's Candy Cane next. I wonder kung low cal din 'tong mga 'to. Sana walang sugar. Then, Lipton has mint flavored green tea, but I don't think it's available locally. So, yung friend ko na may relative in the Middle East, eto na Christmas gift for me. One box of Lipton Mint.

Yogi and Republic of Tea are both available at Healthy Options. Yung Trader Joe's, I have to order online. Maybe Amazon. Sawang sawa na kasi ako sa plain green tea.

makipagbreak sa bf/gf papayat ka talaga kakaisip. Di ka makakain kahit masarap ang pagkain.

^^^Twinings green tea, yung may different variants: lemon+green tea, jasmine+ green tea, mint+green tea, etc. Before every night ako umiinom pero now kasi, milk na iniinom ko at night.

I can't go on a diet since I'm working. I just watch out what I eat. If I have to eat "bad" foods, I take them in moderation. So far, I can sustain this kind of lifestyle and maintain ko din ang weight ko.

Hay! Frustrated na ko sa sarili ko! Gusto ko na mamayat before mag new year! Strict sa calorie counting na talaga, tapos walk for 30 mins. I need motivation, hirap kasiako imaintain Yun yung main prob ko: Maintanance hayy

Twinnings, Moroccan (green tea and mint)

Calorie count and exercise ang best combo to lose weight. For most people, isa lang ang madali, the other is difficult kaya i salute all those who can do both!

I eat Kellog's Oat and Honey Cereals plus low fat or skim milk. Survived Day 1. In fairness, the taste is good unlike Nestle Fitness..  I already feel full after a bowl of kellog's.

They say green tea also helps. Some say Spirulina intake also helps reduce weight.

Diet and exercise. <3 anyways, what kind of diet are you in to? And what's the best exercise to do?

[swim_fatale]

First time kong mag diet and I lost 9lbs in two weeks. What I did lang was bawas sa rice (half rice sa breakfast & dinner, no rice sa lunch, veggies lang or pasta), stop eating fastfood and junk food, no refined sugar (I take honey instead or Splenda pag nasa labas) and ate more fruits and veggies. For night cravings I eat apple with peanut butter or oatmeal.

Unfortunately I gained 10lbs in matter of 3 months... such a slacker, now I really NEED to get back on track. Hubby has lost 30lbs in a matter of 4 months with his ketogenic lifestyle, I hope that I can do the same.

[ystariray]

My goal is to lose 30lbs within 4-5 months (just in time for our wedding).  Is it possible? Is this a healthy rate? Shempre my safety still outweighs my desire to shed off the pounds. Baka pumayat nga ako, hinimatay naman ako sa kasal dahil sa sakit. hehe..

Anyway, already tried GM diet and lost 14lbs sa dalawang cycle. But unfortunately, na gain ko din to.. Mukhang effective lang talaga to for short term weight loss.

Sa dami ng weightloss regimen na tinatry ko ngayon, di ko alam kung ano ba ang uunahin ko hehe.

San ba nakakabili ng self discipline? hehe

[Baby Madeline]

^A healthy weight loss is about 1-2 lbs/wk so 30lbs in 4-5 months is okay. 

I can relate to you kasi I was motivated to start losing weight last year for my wedding too. A healthy diet and regular exercise talaga is the best combo. Exercise is secondary lang though. You have to watch what you eat pa rin. But the diet should be something that you can sustain in the long run-- more fruits and veggies, low-salt diet, avoid simple carbs (white bread, pasta, white rice, pastries), drink plenty of water, limit/eliminate soda intake. Trust me. aside from ayaw mong himatayin sa kasal dahil sa sakit, you don't also want to look haggard during your wedding day. 

The pressure is on once start na ang fitting of the gown! Hahaha! Happy preps!

[ystariray]

^ thanks sis! the pressure is on talaga. I even requested my designer to move our appointment (for measurements) from november to january since im trying to lose weight nga. My schedule is on thursday na hahaha.. baka sabihin sakin, "anyare? akala ko ba papapayat ka?" darn! hahaha..

anyway, thanks for the advice. talagang dapat ko na iwasan ang salty foods, sweets and soda!

[sugardrop]

Lost 4 kgs in a week with no intake of soda and chips. Didn't take the patrol supplement and metformine prescribed by my doctor. Less sugar and salt intake proves effective so far.

[Filipinasadhart]

Broken hearted

Less rice
Eat papaya
Green tea

Marami nag sabi pumayat ako compare noon.

Just realized today I lost 4 pounds.  I just followed the advise of my officemate which is to take 30 minutes to excercise to increase heart rate.  Any excercise will do as long as long as the heart rate increases.  The calories ang burned when your heart pumps just enough (not too much which can lead to heart conditions).  So I eat around 5:30 PM then at around 8:30, i try to jog for 30 minutes.  I'm planning to buy a heart monitoring watch to know if I have achieved the exact heart rate needed to burn calories. 

Apart from jogging, I plan to my condo's stairs so that I can try to increase my heart rate without hopefully straining my legs.  Jogging is causing too much strain on my lower legs.

chips ang kalaban ko!!

I can't do heavy workouts ending I'm trying my best to cut down my food intake, I'm not sure if I lost weight na, takot ako tumapak sa weighing scale, I'm hoping to loose 33lbs in couple of months I might try yogo or pilates para makatulong

[oshiawase]

has anyone tried getting help from experts? if yes, which expert (nutritionist, dietician, trainer, etc.)

I am not oboese and am within my BMI but I would love to have flat tummy talaga. I observed kasi sa family namin, old women tend to get too fat so I want to manage my weight as early as now (I am just in my early 20s).

I find it so hard to lose weight because of my busy lifestyle din.

help naman! thanks!

I started dieting/eating healthy june 2013. No rice, less or no salt at all, less oil. Gulay lang madalas ko kainin. Plus nagttreadmill din ako.  I lost 30++ pounds in 3 months.  As in ang biilis. Starting weight ko was 200 now im less than 170. From size 3xl/4xl  now i can fit sa large sometimes xl.
 
My problem now nagplateau na timbang ko since november. Hindi na naalis sa 164-166 kahit same routine pa rin ako. Although i admit medyo may lasa na mga kinakain ko ngayon pero still no rice and other fatty foods. How to handle ba weight plateau ba? Ano po dapat gawin? Desperado nako. Akala ko pa naman maachieve ko na yung weight na gusto ko. Aiming lang ako sa 150 lbs hindi ko naman winiwish na mareach ko ideal wieght ko na 120lbs. What should i do to lose  more pounds?
