Let's Get Great in 2008

Does anyone have any good weight loss tips?

One word: protein.

Protein boosts your metabolism, in multiple ways, especially if you couple it with some strength-building and aerobic exercise.

As a result, you won't have to reduce your caloric intake much (if at all), meaning that your "diet" will be easier to follow, and you will be less likely to have vitamin deficiencies (which also can inhibit weight loss). You will also increase your muscle tone and mass for long-term weight maintenance/loss and other health benefits.

So far this week at work...parties featuring Cheesecake Factory cake and pizza

Does anyone have ideas on how to enjoy office parties without feeling like, well...a party pooper?

Also how do you deal with "try a little bite, it won't hurt" or other ideas on how to handle saboteurs?

I need to know this secret too! I have no will power.

Willpower's the key. Try the bagel instead of the cheesecake, and drink nothing but water. If you do indulge, just get plenty of arobic exercise after. You'll still come out ahead (even if you have some short term weight gain, your metabolism will have risen).

Hay all nice to see the thread moving along!

I so agree with this! You want to eventually replace as much fat with lean muscle masss. At the same time you have to be eating the right things: lean meat lots of veggies and whole grains.Just losing weight is not good enough, you want to increase you metabolism so that in the long run you stay lean and fit. Increased muscle mass= high metabolism which will come in handly when you want to eat that whole pie during the holidays. Yo can do so and not worry about gaining. Mine is extremely slow, so I have been hitting the weights big time. so far, I have lost two pounds....I know not a lot lol BUT...I have dropped two dress sizes in the past two months and I have energy out the ###!! It's not about the weight anymore for me, infact I stopped weighing my self..its useless!

good luck with every one's fitness goals!
