Answer 1

weight watchers  

Answer 2

Losing 6 stone is alot of weight, so I would recommend seeing your doctor, as they can give you advice and also monitor stuff like your blood pressure and cholesterol. So if you cholesterol levels are really high, then you could try to cut out saturated fatty products.

I would generally say stick to a healthy diet with lots of fruit and veg, and it needn't be boring as there are lots of different exotic fruit/veg out there. Take up exercise, so joining a gym and signing up to some classes. Also running/jogging/going on your bike outside - that's free!

You might find joining a weight loss club useful, as it gives you a bit of extra motivation and you will meet other people too.

I've found a few links that you might find useful. Good Luck!! And also keep it up! :D

Answer 3

thedailyplate.com Lets your track calories and fitness. Its free and awesome. I use it. Also I read on a website that weighing everyday keeps you from getting discouraged.  

Answer 4

This is what I did to lose 100 pounds.

Make sure you have at least 1,200 calories a day. Go to the websites below to find out how many calories you need to eat a day. CUTTING YOUR CALORIES TOO MUCH WILL MAKE YOU GAIN WEIGHT! Break your daily calories up into 6 small meals of 200-300 calories each. Space the meals 3-4 hours apart.

Cadio exercise 5 days a week at least in 30 min. - 60 min. sessions. If you skip one, don't freak out about it. Stay motivated.

Weightlifting every other day! Eat lots of protein, drink only water and Crystal Light Energy, and get enough fiber/calcium.

You may want to consider taking a multi-vitamin and calcium+vitamind d supplement.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Keeping a food journal really does help.  It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.

Make a few additional small changes - walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days.  Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer.   Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it.   Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.

Start a weight lifting routine. It will help increase your metabolism and make you feel and look better in so many ways. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall.  Even if you can't get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house.  A couple of the links I've included explain how.

In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish.   Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts.  Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.  

Make your portion sizes smaller.   Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don't.  About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.  

Learn to count calories.  At your current weight and activity level, you may need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.  

Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals.  Never skip breakfast.  Include some protein in your breakfast.  It will help get you through the day.

Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices.  Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice.  You will begin to see changes in your body.

Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc.  Here are a few helpful links.
