Welcome to Gaia! ::

Certainly don't try the way I'm loosing weight.
But..erm.. go jogging. You'll get toned and drop weight.
Drink juice. And lots of water. Sometimes hunger is mistaken for thirst.

Eat better, exercise...just don't go choking down diet pills and crap. They can actually become addicting. I know a guy who overdosed a bunch of times on all kinds of crap. But yeah...and no lipo that's not good. *poke*

counting calories is okay...
But make sure it's estimated. If you actually start getting like

"I had 1483 calories today. I exercised 1 hour and burned 204 calories, so it comes to 1279"

Drop and quit. Not the diet..but counting calories. That 1500 calories will just as soon become 500 calories a day and then you'll go down a bad road. It has snakes and mold and mildew at the end. Caskets have such things. Let's not do that hun! *huggles!* 3nodding
