Does anyone have any ideas for quick weight loss? I'm really frustrated and depressed that I can't seem to get it off. Years back when I tried like the Atkins diet it came off quickly. I don't think that's healthy so don't want to do it now. Are there certain foods that are diuretics like I'm wondering about watermelon. I'd like to lose a quick 5 lbs. just to feel better. I'm tired of being bloated. All in all I need to lose l5 lbs. Would walking morning and night help? I've been exercising during the day. I'm eating more fruits and vegs. HELP!!!

Hey Barb, dance to the oldies? hehehehe Sounds like you are already on your way, eating better and less, exercising more......and yes fast paced walking is awesome for both mental and physical.

Hi Barb!!!
Well-said David.
The first thing that comes to mind is "Easy Come - easy Go!" For me, the things that work best - are those that are earned with honest effort. And Small Changes!!! If it were weight loss - a little less in and a little more effort to burn more calories. When I eat a meal, I try to always leave some for a snack - later! (Less In)
When I'm at work, I take a few extra seconds to do some whole arm lifts to the sides, front or back with two 4 foot 4x4's - maybe 10 times, whatever I can do and feels like progress!!! This makes rowing and paddling boats easier. The things that drive us can be used as Assets!
My strength to you Barb, I know you will achieve your aspirations - with a little time! Let’s be patient with ourselves. Steve.

I have been doing Weight Watchers, and it really works! When you stick to it - it is terrific! Plus, I have never eaten better, it is gourmet eating with lower fat and carbs content. You can easily lose 5lbs, + drink all the water you can..
Meetings are very supportive, but you can do it also on line, or just go to their website as a guest and find some recipes - I think. there are some soups that have practically no calories and you never feel hungry, you can have it as a snack a lot and is very good for you. Hope this helps.
