I tend to drift in and out of practicing but I always feel so great when I do it.<br /> If all else fails, a stressful 7 day road trip across the country made me lose 1.5 pounds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-6wks-to-lose-10-lbs#post-795680 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 02:34:35 +0000 Suz 795680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oy.

Typically I lose or at least maintain weight while on holiday even though I probably eat much more (and allow myself more treats) than when I am at home! I know that the constant walking is the key to it all. Fortunately, that's what hubby and daughter and I most like to do to explore a new place, so it works out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-6wks-to-lose-10-lbs#post-788265 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 15:48:57 +0000 Angie 788265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, what a great queen-and-peasant philosophy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-6wks-to-lose-10-lbs#post-788192 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 14:04:59 +0000 Suz 788192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few suggestions: </p> <p>1. Eat SLOWLY. Put down your fork after every bite. </p> <p>2. Eat to 80% full. Small portions. </p> <p>3. Eat lean protein at every meal. </p> <p>4. Eat tons of veggies. </p> <p>5. Reduce starchy carbs and cut way back (or eliminate) processed carbs. </p> <p>6. MOVE. As much as you can. </p> <p>7. Drink lots of water. </p> <p>8. SLEEP. You need a lot of it or losing will be tougher. </p> <p>9. If all else fails, adjust expectations, as Manidipa suggests. And go from where you are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-6wks-to-lose-10-lbs#post-788153 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 12:35:06 +0000 ManidipaM 788153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can absolutely be done on a lower-carb, higher-protein, gentle-walks (NOT vigorous exercise, which will *increase* your appetite, so forget swimming and sprints and aerobics) regimen---but only if you're not already very close to your goal weight. If these are the dreaded 'last 10 lbs', that *will* be harder and slower as you have to push your body to a new set point and it does need longer to adjust to that. In which case, adjust your expectations down to the 'first 5 for now'? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-6wks-to-lose-10-lbs#post-787876 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 00:35:05 +0000 Suz 787876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My personal philosophy about holidays is eat like a queen, walk like a peasant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-6wks-to-lose-10-lbs#post-787755 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 21:23:35 +0000 bj1111 787755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think i need to lose the pounds to look fit enough to exercise to get fit enough on vacation.</p> <p>oy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-6wks-to-lose-10-lbs#post-787250 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 03:11:05 +0000 Krista 787250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you have a smartphone, you can try the free app called Lose It. I've been using it for a few weeks and it's pretty good. I find it has a lot of American content which is not useful here in Canada, but the visual part of seeing how many calories you are eating during the day - - very useful and enlightening! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-6wks-to-lose-10-lbs#post-787201 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 01:53:13 +0000 Angie 787201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about Euro travel guide, Shannon.

She was not trying to diet, ate up and storm and had a ball. All she did was do the the Euro thing of walking everywhere. </p> <p>Book a trip to Paris, Amsterdam and London.</p> <p>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-6wks-to-lose-10-lbs#post-786664 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 06:07:05 +0000 bj1111 786664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>10lbs ago is my ideal size at this age. 5lbs no bouncing is good enough. i want to get back to fitting, not just cramming myself, into my clothes. in 6 wks i ave to travel for a week. i want to bring my best capsule, not just the one that fits.</p> <p>i also feel weaker, but this is really erratic exercising after a year of religious thrice a week pilates that encouraged healthy eating so i could last thru the sessions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-6wks-to-lose-10-lbs#post-786595 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 04:30:12 +0000 lyn* 786595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Make sure you're drinking enough water; and I usually try to have a cup or two cups of hot tea (no sweeteners!) before every meal, then wait 15 min, before I start eating. Stop eating as soon as you are 80 to 90% full. No desserts :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-6wks-to-lose-10-lbs#post-786580 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 04:09:45 +0000 Laurinda 786580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It also depends on your current diet, starting weight and lifestyle.</p> <p>People new to carbohydrate restriction routinely lose over 10 lbs with two weeks of Atkin's Diet induction phase. (This initial weight loss is mostly water, so is best considered a 'loan').</p> <p>Is your goal related to a specific weight ? or to get to a particular size? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-6wks-to-lose-10-lbs#post-786442 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 00:15:36 +0000 Raisin 786442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I would say it's definitely doable. Why do you have to lose 10lbs in 6 weeks?</p> <p>I would try cutting out (or way back on) sugar. It's pretty well proven that it causes fat storage. Any sugar needs to go, carby, white, refined sugar is a fat storage machine. Try to cut some calories, drink a lot of water. I don't know, how hard do you want go and how crucial is it to lose? It can be done, but my advice might be different depending on how hard you want to go? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/omg-6wks-to-lose-10-lbs#post-786418 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 23:43:00 +0000 bj1111 786418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>any tips or at least words of comfort, all you fabbers?</p> <p>thinking this is nigh impossible with my 40s hormonal challenges. </p>
