Support Weight Loss

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   Does anyone know any good online weight loss support boards?
   I am looking for weight loss support that I don't really get from my family. Does anyone know any good online sites geared towards this. I have a lot of weight to lose so boards of people in the same situation would be nice. Just looking for some good recommendations.

   • ANSWER:
     I dont know about support boards but thedailyplate.com is an awesome site for weight loss. You can register (its free) and set a goal for yourself and it will tell you how many calories you can have per day in order to reach your goal and you can track what you are eating on the site and find out nutrition info for any food you can possibly think of. Its been a big help to me. good luck!

2. QUESTION:
   Where can you advertise a weight loss support group for free?
   Where on the internet can you advertise a weight loss support group for free? We are desperately trying to get more members and have no idea where to post it. It's for women only who are serious. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

   • ANSWER:
     - myspace.com
     - yahoo.com has member groups you can start one up

     Good luck there are already hundreds of these support groups online (google it) and free but they're all the same. You see the same conversation/ thread:
     question: help me i need to lose weight
     answer: you can do it (blah blah)
     Good luck with this, and if you would post your website after replying to your "best answer", I'll visit & if it's helpful I'll give it a try.
     I suggest you start off slowly w/in your community... there must be several people who want to lose weight. Post up signs at the local junior college or YMCA or laundromat or apartment building. If your website is good enough, by word of mouth your website will grow bigger. It'll take time, but it can be done.

3. QUESTION:
   Are there any online support groups for weight loss?
   I don't want a huge forum - it's easy to get lost in those. I'd like to meet anywhere from 1-4 others online in a sort of weight loss support group. Any suggestions on where to find this?

   • ANSWER:
     Believe it or not, the best support you're going to find is right there in front of your monitor. Rearrange your thought processes on dieting from living to eat to eating to live. It's not hard, just takes some time, patience, and positivity. Here's my weightloss blog with links:

     Here’s all you need to lose weight all over, look good, and get really healthy. First, you have to realize there is no quick, long lasting weight loss plan or pill that is going to do the trick. It’s purely mental. You have to learn to “Eat to live, don’t live to eat”. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? It is, if you understand that you are going to be reprogramming how you think about eating for the next few weeks. Old habits die hard, right? Not really. You get rid of bad habits by replacing them with good habits. If you learn to count your Calories, keep Calorie intake lower than output, exercise moderately, and eat only healthy food, you will lose weight. That’s a fact. All it takes is repetition. All success stories have this in common: The successful folks among us know how to be patient, persistent, and consistent. Set a goal, write it down, and stick with it. The benefits of feeling good will outweigh any sense of sacrifice you might feel about having to push away that cake and ice cream. Here are some helpful and healthy links to help you get started on your way:

4. QUESTION:

   I'd like to join a free online community or group. I know there are tons of weight loss support sites and THOUSANDS of PAGES of groups on yahoo groups, but I'd like to find one that is free, for generic diet and fitness (i.e. not specifically for jenny craig/weight watchers members) and will actually communicate with each other. Preferably in my age group 18-35.

8. QUESTION:
   Why do people say cheese is "unhealthy" when Calcium is proven to help support weight loss?
   This has always boggled me.

   I love swiss cheese on my sandwiches and research has even shown that calcium helps prevent the storage of fat cells or something along those lines.

   So, what's the hype with cheese?
   So, a slice of swiss cheese on my sandwich wouldn't be bad then?

   • ANSWER:
     Retaining excess water can make you feel bloated. It can also make your wrists, ankles, hands and feet swell and your face look puffy. Sure, you have probably learned that the best way to lose water weight is actually to drink more water. This is absolutely true. In fact, water weight is usually a sign that your body is "scared" to lose any more water and as a countermeasure is retaining it like a camel. The thing is, you are not a camel!

     Here are 5 tips for fine-tuning your water weight loss plan:

     Tip #1: Get a 32 oz. or 64 oz. refillable container: You can find these little babies for very cheap at almost any discount or sporting goods store and they come in all kinds of cool designs. Buy them not for their cool designs, however, but rather for their amazing capacity: you can really put a lot of water into these things. And, unlike a conventional cup, their portable design encourages you to carry them wherever you go. If you drink just 1 - 2 of these mega-containers' worth of water each day, your body will start shedding the excess water that it has been holding onto for dear life for so long.

     Tip #2: Add a little lemon or lime: To your mega-container, add a squeeze or two of lemon or lime. These citrus fruits act as natural diuretics, and their refreshing taste makes the water go down that much easier.

     Tip #3: Eat lower sodium foods: Sodium and water weight go hand-in-hand. When you drink more water, your body is freed to release some of its sodium stores. Conversely, when you switch to a lower sodium diet, your body will tend to store less excess water. Bonus tip: cutting down on diet sodas will cut your sodium intake significantly.

     Tip #4: Try a natural diuretic: Diuretics help your body flush water weight. But prescription diuretics can be rather harsh on your system and often cause intense diarrhea. Try a natural diuretic such as an herbal-based one for a gentler, healthier experience of forcing that excess water out of your body.

     Tip #5: Sprinkle in some exercise: Yes, that weight loss panacea, exercise, comes in handy for helping you to lose water weight, too. Bonus tip: choose exercises that work the areas of your body (e.g., wrists or ankles) that need the most help in losing water.

     Drinking more water is the cornerstone to a water weight loss strategy. Adding a bit of citrus to your water, taking natural diuretics, eating a low sodium diet, and doing concentrated exercises can also help you shed that weight. Losing water weight is the first step to looking sexy and feeling great with a comprehensive weight loss plan.

     Take care...

17. QUESTION:
    Stop smoking and weight loss support groups?
    I'm trying to help and support my sister in her attempt to stop smoking. Each time she's tried, she ends up gaining weight, and with a lifestyle quite stressful, she returned to cigarettes.

    If anyone has any good information about online support groups, messageboards, or an easy way to talk with others in the same boat, I think it might help her.

    She's a beautiful person and been there for me a lot, but I don't know how to help her do this. She's a great wife and mother, (never smokes in the house or car around the kids) and unlike many who smoke WANTS to quit.
    Those things are so addictive. She knows how harmful it is, and feels so stupid for smoking, which then makes her depressed.

    She had some success with the patch, so is starting that and Weight Watchers, and an excercise group she enjoys.

    She lives in a small town, and will attend WW meetings, but it doesn't seem enough support to get through such a tough struggle.
    Thanks for any help.

    • ANSWER:
      This is a great website that I used to help me stop smoking. It will allow your sister to set a quit date and then once she quits, it adds up all the money she has saved and all the hours added to her life from quitting!! It's very inspirational and she could even upgrade her membership to make friends that have quit too (i didn't do that part).
      http://www.quitnet.com/
      Also, I have used the Quit Now hot-line here in Ohio. Not sure where she lives, but most states have their own program. She can call up a "quit coach" anytime she gets a craving. They will also call her once a week to follow up and see how she is doing. As for the weight loss, it's not a good idea to try and do everything all at once. I quit smoking for two weeks and then decided to start dieting and exercising more. There will be a natural weight gain from quitting the nicotine, but it's much healthier than smoking!! I hope this helps...I've been smoke-free for 22 days now!!

18. QUESTION:
    What is a good online weight loss support program?
    One where people are accountable to each other and you put up a list of what you ate that day?

    • ANSWER:
      Have you looked at various forums via Live Journal, Yahoo! Groups etc for a weight loss support forum?

      I know Weight Watchers and The Biggest Loser also has weight loss support programs where you pay by the month.

      Good luck!

19. QUESTION:
    Good Vitamins and Herbs that support weight loss.?
    What are some good vitamins and herbs that support healthy weight loss?

    • ANSWER:
      I have been through it all and know what's it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can't be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I've worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

      Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

      First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can't eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...

      This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it's good for the heart.

      However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It's so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I've found a great addition to help any one out, it's a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don't get all crazy on me and say diet pills don't work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn't meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It's an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace dot com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it's the best pill I've tried and I've tried cupboards full. Now this doesn't mean you have to follow my foot steps but I've successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

      Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

29. QUESTION:
    What I'm eating enough to support weight loss?
    I'm trying to lose weight, and I just began cutting out diet sodas and any drink with sweetener in it because I heard that can cause an insulin spike and make you hungry all day.

Is that enough to do the job?

You can keep track of your daily exercises and activities as well.
