1. Three healthy meals a day is good advice but try and switch to 5 or 6 smaller meals a day for a quicker metabolism, do not go any longer than three hours between meals. this will boost your metabolism.
2. EXERCISE, EXERCISE, EXERCISE (it is a myth that you can effectively lose weight (and keep the weight off) by diet alone)
The body (metabolism) adjusts quickly to a calorie deficit and slows down accordingly to protect vital organs thereby making it harder to lose weight. The only way to counteract this effect is to exercise at least three times a week. The best way I have found is a mixture of resistance (weight) training and cardio (running, biking, crosstrainer etc) And plenty of sleep.
3. Go to step 1 today and do it. The old adage no pain no gain still holds true it is the only way to change your bodyshape. I have used that philosophy for the last year and a half and have lost over 4 stone of fat and built lots of muscle.
I don't use fad diets, don't count my calories and can still enjoy a chinese or a chippy once a week. I can still eat sweets too (i have a very sweet tooth) My biggest change was to stop drinking, I know its not for everyone but I don't miss it. And watch out for processed foods, they are stuffed full of hidden sugars. I believe that is the single biggest factor in the rise of obesity and diabetes in the western world, but hey what do I know I'm not a scientist or a doctor relying on funding from huge multi-national food corporationsComment

Havn't weight watchers recently annouced some changes to how their system work, moving away from points counting and realising that though two different foods can have the same calorie way they can be way different in terms of how they effect your diet.
Also msocci said, no fad dieting. It has to be a change in lifestyle.
Never done weight watchers but I have been recently trying to get into shape and a couple of things
- Don't go by weight, go by bodyshape
- smaller portions more frequently. Stop eating when you feel full. Chew properly and put your fork down between mouthfuls will slow your eating rate down.
- Cut out or reduce carbs in the evening (yes that means reducing your drinking)
- Drink plenty of water
- Get plenty of rest
In terms of exercise, same message, try mixing resistance training with cardio work.
Like trying to quit smoking, going cold turkey (not to eat,
) may help. Similiar to south beach and atkins diets, cut out all carbs for 2 weeks then gradually introduce them back in. I have read in quite a few place that your body takes around 4 to 6 weeks to get used to the change so you need to keep it up for that long.
Speaking from my experiance, I always used to have carb heavy meals in the evenings. First two to three weeks were a killer for craving rice, chips, bread and other carb products but it does pass. Now I have no problem going out to eat with friends and ordering side of salad and veggies instead of potatoes or something with main meal.Comment

~~~~ all that, just accept that you're a XXXFB size, take the pills for the diabetes, cholesterol and high blood pressure, keep eating the curry and chips, smoke as much as you can and enjoy!, as for exercise just have a couple of wan*s a day - though due to the diabetes etc you'll need some viagra for thatLast edited by dik; 1 April, 2011, 16:29.sigpic

WW is a lot of shite.
If you want to crash weight then EXERCISE, put on muscle, eat healthily and sleep!
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYfNA_lmkHM]YouTube - Fitness - Boot Camp Workout 1: Burpee's Exercise[/ame]
BURPEES!
The single best way to lose weight and tone up in a hurry, they don't look like much but they will kick your ass.
I do extended burpees nowadays 3x25 where I crouch, do a pressup, followed by an ab crunch and on the jump I grab a tree branch above me and throw in a chin up.
Everything is done SLOW and smoothly to make sure every muscle involved maintains control and works its range of motion.
This warms me up for my daily run down at the track where I bust out 28laps minimum (7mile)
Feb 1st i was 16.5st and out of breath walking up a flight of stairs, weigh in today i just hit 12st! thats 4st 7lb (63lb) lost in 59 days.
Building muscle
To hell with the gym, ive effectively been banned for scaring the waste of space posers, id hit a machine and load it HEAVY screaming and grunting through my work out.
Apparently its bad form to actualy DO WORK instead of preen in the mirror whilst running on a treadmill or doing useless bicep curls. So i got booted :/
I've now been doing ghetto strength training.
Sledgehammering a tyre, lifting kegs with sand in them and running with a sand filled rucksack.
Targeting MAJOR GROUPS, your lats are the biggest muscles in your body, doing pull ups and dips build these bad boys (and also work your biceps and triceps as a side effect)
Then theres your quad group (the tops of your tree trunk legs) followed by your abs (beer gut minimisation), glutes ass thats carved from granite) then pecs (chest with nipples that can wink)
Big muscles need calories to maintain.
These consume fatby focusing on these groups the rest of your body gets worked along side them to support them.
Bicep curl machines just work your puny biceps and give you useless dumb weight big arms that do absolutely nothing for your overall development
MYTHS and MISNOMERS
Working out builds muscle.
BULLSHIT!
Working with heavy weight loads gets your body ready to layer muscle on, this only takes place when COMBINED WITH DIET TO ALLOW IT!
So if your a woman your not going to loose your tits from busting out bench presses and doing insane sets of pressups, this only happens if you up your protein and fat intake to allow for explosive growth.
Otherwise you just tone up and get all hard bodied.
TARGETING FAT.
The human body doesn't work like this, doing 6000 sit ups a day will not magically give you a six pack. you cant target where to lose fat, your body decides where to digest regardless of the area your targeting, its only once your down to a low level of total body fat that you'll get defined and cut. There's no way around this, nor any shortcuts.
SPEEDING UP YOUR METBOLISM
Theres only ONE way to speed up your metabolic rate.
DO WORK!
Eating more than 3 meals a day is useless for burning fat.
This 6 meals none bigger than your fist nonsense is a lot of shit, its useful for bulking up muscle from working out because your body doesn't store protein efficiently so by eating constantly your giving a constant steady supply of protein and fat.
Cutting out eating completely also doesnt WORK! starvation (of which im an expert) works for the first month, then your metabolic rate bottoms out and goes into panic thereby storing EVERYTHING you eat as fat and will do so for up to a month after starvation.
Your bodies metabolism is slow to adapt to changes and you will wind up in refeeder syndrome. this is a bad place to be.
I recently dropped to no more than 600cal in per day and 1500cal out of cardio minimum. I rapidly plateued after a month (just over 2.5st lost) and spent a month upping my intake gradually to avoid refeeder. Im still upping my intake slowly, after a months work im now at 900cal in a day and still at 1500cal out. Its going to be June before im back to something approaching normality.
Had i gone from 300cal intake back to a standard 2500cal intake the end result would have been FATAL.
Dont believe me? read the Minnesota Study.
Learn about the guys starved and crashing a lot of weight only to hit refeeder and put on their initial weight +80% of body fat.
This is effecting muscle growth now, but since growth wasn't my primary objective im not too fussed, id rather be strong and agile than beefcake dumb weight.
DIET
Eat healthily.
Its as simple as that, you are what you eat.
WW meals are low in fat at a COST.
If they've removed the standard healthy 30%fat intake then what's replacing it?
CARBOHYDRATE.
Think of fat like a battery.
Carbohydrate is like mains electricity, its direct current. if you don't replenish your batteries then your body will just take all the excess carbohydrate and convert it to storage for you.
this sidesteps the whole fact that FAT IS ESSENTIAL. it transports nutrients across the blood brain barrier, without fat your brain doesn't receive proper nutrition.
there are several types of fats, not all of them are bad
Avoid anything processed and cook with fresh ingredients and your body will respond by thanking you, its as simple as that.
Keep your portion sizes healthy and exercise and your body fat will return to a healthy level.
Its not rocket science.He who laughs last thinks slowest.Comment
