Eat ice-cream.
No joke.
A simple ice-cream will help you lose weight so long as it's cold. It takes you body more energy to heat up the ice-cream and then digest it then it gets from the food. As long as the ice-cream is still frozen when you eat it you will lose weight on an all ice-cream diet!!

No, it is not. Weight loss is not linear.ravensheart18 said:
The amount of difficulty in losing 10kg for a man who weighs 150kgs and 60 is very different. Going from 70 to 60 takes a lot of dedication, that does not go for going 150 to 140.
Smart ass or not, it is a major weight loss.
This (mostly). I didn't go to basic training, but I got a construction job for about two years and lost a HUNDRED FUCKING POUNDS and increased a massive amount of muscle mass. The reason I say (mostly) is because I didn't change my diet at all. Not one goddamned bit. My average work day was about 15 hours long, and I spent the whole day running (literally) up and down hills, checking hoses, running a shot-crete hose, lifting drill steel, and hauling 100 lb cement sacks everywhere. There was no time for a break on many days.loc978 said:
You PROBABLY won't be able to do this on a daily basis, so you probably won't get the same results. If you're a big dude, then you're just a big dude. Deal with it. You will NEVER be skinny (I never have, even with all that work), but you can do a lot to keep your weight in check and be healthy (and look damn good). Exercise is key, and a shitload of it helps a shitload more.
Eat less, move more. Its pretty fucking simple, there's no magical weight loss solution. If you don't have the motivation to work out then find something to do while you're excercising, I just listen to my favourite music or podcasts. Excercise is boring (except steps, I do that shit for fun) (and dancing, I spend 60% of my day dancing) so just find something to occupy your mind like radio or TV.
Also, consider going vegetarian. Cut out meat and you'd be bound to lose weight. Don't worry there's more to being a vegetarian than fucking tofu, India get it right lentils and chick peas and such.

Okay, this is somewhat odd, but it works.
Eat less and better, drink only water when not eating a meal, exercise daily.
And for the odd part:
Every time you die in a game, get up do 5 jumping jacks, or push ups or whatever.
Alternatively, you could try this: Every time you die in a game you have to walk/jog/run X Minutes. Adjust according to the game (IE:call of duty, lots of deaths, 1 minute per.) This'll encourage you to do better at the game, and not play for an insanely long time. Select days of the week to do this on, and days to break.
Also, typing this while on the tread mill.

You should get an active hobby, like soccer or running. I bet you could find some buddies to play with.
Eat shit, but not too much of it.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here too and say that with the mentality of just eating less and working out more is fine it still must have some organization behind it to function well. I followed a tip from a web comic (punks 'n nerds quarter life [http://punksandnerds.com/?p=102]) to help mentally archive all the things I did to improve my behaviors as if they were RPG experience tracks. As a gamer of the digital and tabletop variety thinking about nabbing an extra 200xp for extending a run by another mile was more exciting than doing calorie crunching at home, mentally awarding myself +2 to metabolism for munching on salads with light vinaigrette five times a week for a month more interesting than any other mental pat on the back. We're gamers, our brains have been hardwired to think in terms such as DPS, XP, AOEs and other such acronyms and abbreviations. Just because you're a gamer trying to lose weight doesn't mean you have to think exactly like a jock/soldier/construction worker just emulate their logic with your own and earn some RL Achievements!
urgh, I'm 17 stone (around 242 pounds for the americans amongst us) and I'm a short 5'6, I've tried so much of this stuff but I always end up giving up when I don't see instant change, I don't even eat that much anymore, (I'm homeless, sleeping on my brothers floor and can barely afford food but let's not make this about that). It's just exercise that I can't will myself to do, any way anybody has managed to get around to doing it, I can't afford the gym, I have no equipment and I find it impossible to do any weight loss walking....what do I do Escapists, I'm in a bit of trouble with my weight here.
First off, if you want to lose wight you have to want it. YOU HAVE TO WANT IT.rancher of monsters said:
Second, eat 5 small meals a day, it's healthier and allows your body to better digest and get more out of the food, don't eat until you are full, just eat what you need to get by with and get on with your day.
Third, cut as much sugar out of your diet as you can, I recommend you go to FRUIT2O, it's water with fruit flavors to it and it can help you cut your addiction to caffeine. Drink water, seriously, you will notice a difference in your health after the first month. This goes without saying eat smart, eat less red meat and more white meat.
Finally, get outside, walk around, get some sun light in your daily routine before that ***** in Spain starts charging you for it's use.
This is all on you, I can tell you how you can improve your life and be able to see you toes when you look down, not bend over and look but look down.... you have to want to be thin, if you don't want to be thin, you'll just be Mr Tubby Tubby.
Merry Christmas.
This is good advice, along with checking for diabetic changes, they can rule out any possible endocrine disordersdsmops2003 said:
A stone is a measure of weight used in the UK and possibly elsewhere. It's roughly equivalent to 14 lbs.rancher of monsters said:
On topic though, if you really want to lose weight, there's truly only one option: Eat better and exercise. Do some form of cardiovascular exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, and try to control your diet to fit the "Food pyramid" thing.
The latter is fairly easy, and for the former some good suggestions are:
1) Organize a sport like soccer or ultimate frisbee or something once a day with some friends
2) Bet yourself on physical activities (ie, if I can run a mile in 6 minutes, I'll buy myself that thing I've wanted for a while)
3) Find someone to compete against. Both of you try to lose weight and the loser buys dinner or somthing.
