Well not super quick. but somewhat quick would be nice. I just went to the grocery store and bought supplies for beef kabobs and chicken pitas and such. Trying to start a workout routine...but that is hard too.

In any situation, if you want to lose weight, you need to make sure you consume fewer calories than you expend (burn) in a given day. Exercising will help you acheive that calorie deficit, fuel that weight loss. If you're looking to lose weight quickly, I suggest you incorporate exercise into your lifestyle as soon as possible.

Have you mapped out a plan? Specific changes to your lifestyle you want to make? It seems as if you are a little unsure about the exercisde component. If you really want to lose the weight quickly, you are going to have to introduce exercise into your life. Use hubby for motivation to get you going!

If you are willing to be very strict with your eating habits and push yourself with exercise, there is no reason why you couldn't lose an easy 12lbs or so by the beginning of September.

I would like that. I mean I don't look horrible....but would love to look a bit slimmer in my bathing suit. LOL
Yup we are trying. I have had a pear, veggies, turkey sandwich on whole grain and a "breakfast bar" that is all.  Then dinner will be a low fat chicken pita

That should put you around 1000 calories or so? Nothing wrong with wanting to look good in their suits, I know I'd love to look better.

Losing weight quickly is NOT the answer. Especially when you don't have all that much weight to lose to start with.
See my post to you in the other thread you started. | |

Thanks. That makes me feel better. I guess I should know that. I mean I just need to focus on exercise and eating better and I think all will fall into place.

Have you considered writing down the calories you are consuming in a given day? You may want to try that so you can keep better track of what is really going in your body. Quote:

Well thanks for the "agreed"!!!
I will start doing that. I think it looks to be "now" an average of 1500 or so. I know I was above that before probably last week.

Some people here like to keep a personal journal/blog in the blog forum of all the food they eat, exercise they do, and the results. It will also allow people to make suggestions and support you along the way! Something to consider.  1500 calories sounds like a much better number.

1000 would make a lot of people cry, including me. 
I would be a very mean person....all the time.

For example, you could make a meal a lightly seasoned chicken breast with veggies, maybe beans or something else. Skip the baked potato.
We also have about 1000 recipes in our Atkins diet section, and all of them are low in carbs. You may want to give those a try.
Since he lifts weight he should also consider a low calorie protein shake to supplement his routine and eating habits.

Thanks I am going to buy him some today. Is that a bad idea for me to drink protein shakes? I mean I am a hungry little guss normally throughout the day. So was hoping the protein shake would help.
