What is a healthy and realistic diet to slim down?
I have tried crazy diets, and they usually last a couple weeks, then I go back to eating crap! What is something more realistic and long term and healthy….something that I can keep up with. I want to loose about 50 pounds in 6 months.

Hi everyone. I have four children and have found myself putting on a lot of weight lately. I want to get fit and healthy again (and fit into some of my clothes!!). The youngest is only 1 and it is hard to go for walks or the gym with 4 kids to take care of. My husband does shift work and I am kind of stuck. I love to bake and always make things for the kids and end up eating it too. How can I work a healthier diet and somehow do some exercise with my family and kids in tow? Any suggestions? Has anyone tried exercise DVD’s? I think I’d get really bored with that.

I’m sure you have all tried some kind of diet. If I could design the perfect wieghtloss diet or healthy diet program for you, what would I need to do? Think of what would make you enthusiastic enough to not quit, but look forward to continuing this program on a daily basis for the rest of your life.

Around november of last year, i switched over from a disgusting junk food thriving, soda drinking, chain smoking living habit to a cleaner more exercise and healthy eating habit. Before i switched, i got sick maybe once a year. Ever since i changed things, I’ve caught several colds, and a very mild case of strep. Basically what i’m asking is can a healthier diet put you at risk for sickness or common viruses?

hi i was wondering if anyone had like a healthy diet plan sort of thing. i am not really unhealthy and not overweight, but my diet aint to good! (too many crips and chocolate cravings!) i also feel tired quite a lot (although im doing my gcse’s so it might be that!) which i figured might mean im not healthy enough! so if youve got any usful tips or anything, thanks
