People who lost 100 lbs. all had these 5 things in common.
1. They all got active.
Some of them walked a couple miles a day, some of them lifted weights (the muscle they built helped keep the fat away by burning extra calories), and some of them didn't even take it to the extreme.
Some of the 100 lb losers parked their cars farther away from store entrances so they would have to walk farther to the store. Some took the stairs instead of the elevator.
I read one weight loss story where a lady always unpacked her groceries by walking them into her house one by one.
The best one I read was where a lady lost 100 lbs by getting up every morning to walk in her local mall. She said it was easy to lose weight this way because she would always take a break every 10 minutes or so into her walk to shop.
2. They got rid of all the bad foods
They included more fruits & veggies, baked fish and chicken, more nuts like almonds. They drank more water and less soda.
Some people ate a lot of these weight loss foods without gaining weight because it's these types of foods that promote fat burning and it's foods like alcohol, sugar, and pizza that promote fat gain In the body.
3. They got support.Most of them got a friend, co-worker, or family member to keep them motivated to stay on track to their weight loss goals. One lady had lost 123 lbs because she had a friend call her every morning to join her for a morning walk. (See the best diet plan with the best support)
4. They all tried some stupid weight loss gimmick.After all the stupid weight loss gimmicks failed for them... They punched themselves in the face with common sense and began to eat less (not starve) and become more active.
See 8 common sense weight loss rules
5. They took breaks on their weight loss journeys.
To lose a 100
pounds takes time. If you stay on any weight loss program for too long
without any breaks from being active or without cheating every once
in while...
Every 100 pound loser had some system to give themselves breaks form
their weight loss programs. One guy I read about would treat himself
once a week to fast food.

Hey Adrian,
I'am 6'3" and I weigh 305 Pounds. I need to lose at least 100 pounds by July 2010. I know it is possible if I put in my best. But I dont know what I should do for this to happen. First, I want to lose the fat and then after a while I want to build muscles. What do you suggest? It would be great if you can lay out a step-by-step plan for me to follow and I'd greatly appreciate your kind help.I'am awaiting your reply to begin this new cycle.
Also, I sometimes post your comments and I'am unable to see my comment because I forget where exactly I wrote. So can you please email me at swami.v.sharma@gmail.com if you can?
Thanks much

Yes - I heard of it and I would only recommend it to someone to break out of a weight loss plateau (see # 7)
hi I was wondering if you ever heard of losing weight by "calorie shifting"
..if you have heard of it, it is something you would recommend?
thanks

Use this plan here to lose last 15 pounds but...
At 133 pounds I don't see how you're 15 pounds overweight
anna | 08.07.08 - 1:34 am
Khayree,
you're doing just fine with what're doing now and the reason why you look slimmer but the scale says different is because you're gaining muscle which is a GOOD THING because...
Muscle helps burn fat

Kimberlee ,
Please correct this before i answer - Are you sure you weigh 188 pounds and
want to lose 130 pounds?
Kimberlee | 06.23.08 - 9:44 pm
*secret*,
The speed you lose weight depends on a lot of factors - Go here to see how fast you can lose weight but...
To really answer your question - It should take you about 10-to-12 weeks to permanently lose 30 pounds using the methods at NowLoss.com
Ok, I weigh 165 pounds I'm 13 5 ' 8 I don't want to lose 100 pounds I just want to lose like 30 pounds using your methods how long would that take?
*secret* | 03.20.08 - 3:53 pm
Will you be able to lose 100 pounds?
Yes - I'm confidendt you can do that easily but...
In 4 months welll...
that all
depends on these weight loss factors here
You may be able to lose 20-40 pounds a month your first 2 months
and then you may only lose about 10-20 pounds a month until you've
reached your goal - it all depends on those factors
I suggest you read most of the stuff on NowLoss.com to find the
right weight loss program for you.

Hi. I'm Brooke and I'm eleven. I weigh 140 and i want to at least weigh 70-80. I have everything but it just won't help. Any tips? Please help.
I hope you mean 80kg and if so...
im 18, i weight about 345lbs and want down to 200-220 i eat well just lazy..
I think this is a great site -- for the most part. Five or even 6 small meals a day, with protein at each, but with lots of good carbs and healthy carbs is the way to go. Also allowing yourself to cheat on special occasions.
BUT -- I don't think the exercise portion is realistic for those who are extra morbidly obese, especially if they are middle aged or past and have been overweight all or most of their lives. I speak from experience. I am 5'2 and in my mid fifties, topped out at 286 lbs. My body was a mess. My knees were bad. I had fascitis in my feet. I was always short of breath. Aerobics were out of the question. I tried walking but it was counterproductive since it made my knees worse and I was forced (Dr.'s orders) to stay off them. Swimming also bothered my knee. Many people who were as overweight as I was can barely move at all. It is not practical to expect them to start off on even a 20 min. light exercise program. I know one lady who could only lift her arms and legs up part way. But she started doing that for as long as she could each day (at first only 2 or 3 TIMES. She is now up to about 15 minutes a day. As for me, what I finally found was yoga -- the slow, purposeful kind, not the fast stuff you see on some tv shows. It did not burn a lot of fat at first. In fact, at first, all I could do was the warmup and cooldown! Forget the actual yoga! But little by little, I was able to do more, although I had to use props for balance at first. I do not approach yoga as a spiritual thing, at least not in the sense that I (a Christian) think of spiritual. But since most extra morbidly obese people are short of breath, I found that the breathing component of yoga was extremely helpful. And while my workouts weren't aerobic, I believe the increased oxygen I had after yoga upped my metabolism some. Also, I'm now past the part where I very slowly added Warrior I and II, both asanas affect the knees and they yoga has actually strenghtened them. They aren't perfect, but much better.
So, anyway, the point is, if you are extra morbidly obese, don't try to do things that will just put you in bed. Go slowly. Very, very slowly -- more slowly than you want to. But add to it after a week, after 2, etc. If you can only move one leg one inch, move it until you can move it an inch and a half. And learn about yogic breathing. It is really useful! And just common sense, really. Nothing magical about it.
I haven't reached my goal yet -- have a long ways to go at 212, in fact, but I'm getting there slowly. I didn't put it all on at once and I won't take it all off at once.
