I am in the process of changing my lifestyle. I have throw out all my sweets and salty snacks. Bought more veggies and fruits. I want to lose weight. But I don't want to " go on a diet". I need to change the way I eat in general. But to keep me motivated I want to sort of jump start my weight loss. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this.

add more physical activities such as cleaning the house, washing the car, do more walking, etc..i used this medicine ones but i know it has a counterpart in other drug companies,it fastens your metabolism rate, so in a way your calorie in your daily activities is doubled and will end up in losing weight.

what a mockery

just keep your hopes going. the biggest thing that prevents people from staying true to their weight loss goal is that results are hard to see right away. keep it up!

Ever hear of google? I heard the google diet is the best. You just search for food, and instead of eating it, you download it! It works great most of the time, as long as you do not have high speed net. Hope this helps

haha.. there are more tips to lose weightA lot of us are out there watching what we eat and exercising, but still not making a dent in our bellies and body weight. There are a few things we are probably not doing, or doing too much of, that would mean major improvements in our health.Get more sleep. After a very short period of time (about 6 nights), studies show that your glucose levels can rise if you get only 4 to 7 hours of sleep each night. New parents are excluded, but everyone else should try to hit the 8 hour mark as often as you can and get to bed BEFORE midnight. Every hour of rest before 12 a.m. is twice as valuable as the hours after midnight: Our cortisol levels are lowest before midnight therefore our recovery is the highest.Eating fewer refined and processed foods. Avoid fast and fried food and try to consume as many real foods as you can. It's also imperative to get enough fiber (helps with elimination); fruits and veggies are a great way to fill up.Avoid sugary drinks and reach for more water. Water is great for so many things like digestion, eliminating toxins in the body, and transporting important nutrients to our cells which need energy to burn calories. Americans drink 20% of their calories, so be careful of that silent pitfall.Get to know your kitchen. I realize it takes more work, but the simple truth is we eat out or order in too often. There is a greater opportunity to control what is in your food if you cook it yourself.Slow down. When you do sit down to a meal, don't wolf it down. Our culture encourages eating while driving or sitting at our desks. The only time we seem to sit down and enjoy our food is at Thanksgiving. The monks chew each bite of food 100 times (which is excessive), but they also eat only until they are full. They recognize that chewing their food more makes it easier for the body to digest.Breathe. There are so many days that I don't breathe deeply. In the morning, mid-afternoon, and at the end of the day take a 10 conscious, belly-deep breaths. Close your eyes, pull that air deep into your stomach via your nose and let all the junk out through your mouth. Whether its a stressful day, or you just want to start and end your day on the right foot, breathing is important. Don't starve yourself. Oddly enough some of you may not be eating enough, and the lack of calories is putting your body into save mode. Our bodies are so brilliant, and if they aren't getting enough food, your metabolism will tell your body to store each and every calorie it receives or to make energy from whatever muscle tissue you have. Not good. Oh and by the way, don't skip breakfast. People who skip breakfast are over 4 times more likely to be overweight.Do more than exercise. Even if you are working out, you can't eat and drink whatever you want. It really is a three sided puzzle: balancing exercise, food, and (oh yes) the spirit (which stress and happiness play into).I wish you the greatest of success, and remember, being healthy is like making your bed. It really is something we have to work at everyday.Got all this from a website, not my own..

You don't need to "jump start" you already have the best attitude towards losing weight,the definition of diet is what you eat ,you don't go on a diet you alter your diet.Good luck let the weight go the way it came a little at a time.

Yes I do have a suggestion for you. I was very over weight and I got skin cancer that was nothing big, but scared me a lot. So I started doing a lot of research and I found out that the regular food that we buy in the grocery store is full of chemicals and hormones, which make you very over weight and addicted to it. So I decided to buy organic food and I have been losing weight. Also, another thing that helped me was using detox. Which is another be cause of over weight, since there are a lot of residue in your colon that does not help you with taking the food that your body really needs. I found a very good one at this website http://weightloss-and-health.com I believe that is the first one under weight loss page.Walking and exercising is also go.

You can try asking someone to join you on this healthy lifestyle plan thing. When you have a friend or family member doing with you at the same time, you can motivate each other to start, like planning when you should officially kick start it. And it is definitely more fun when someone join in the plan in my opinion. I don't really get what you mean by nothing motivate you to jump start your plan. Because I thought since you have bought the necessary things, you should have the aim already, shouldn't you? What you need to do is just a choose a date and start practicing healthy lifestyle habits. Just as easy as that.Get some support from your friends and family, they do help a lot.

I jump started my diet with products I saw on Oprah. I was able to lose 47 pounds in a period of about 4 weeks. Read my story here: http://www.nataliesweightloss.com.
