Tell me you're being sarcastic.
Losing significant amounts of weight means getting your metabolism working quickly, otherwise you're going to fight for every pound as you've seen...that means overcoming inertia and getting out there. Get active, and I'm sure you'll see a difference. A big one.

****it, dont tell me this! ha ha

IMO, the best thing to do, is speed up your metabolism.

Eat 5-7 small meals a day. Roughly 2-3 hours apart, no more than that.

Just dont eat a lot of crap. Eat beef/red meat no more than twice per week.

Eat ice cream, etc... no more than 4 times.

Work out for about 30 min a day...

I guarentee 10 lbs by end of first week.

I did this and lost a lot of weight, but more importantly, my body fat was at 9%.

Then I got surgery and gained it all back. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Sorry...but it's the truth. You can't get around it.

On the plus side, though...once you build up more muscle and a higher metabolic rate, it'll be harder to gain weight again...so you won't be taking two steps back for every step forward.

My ex, who qualified for the Athens trials in '04 in swimming, could eat more than me...burgers, steaks, spaghetti, any kind of shit imaginable...and not gain a pound. That's what happens when your metabolism burns 3,000+ calories per day //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Well look at it this way, if you dont lose weight, you probably wont be kidnapped.

Fat people are hard to abduct...

im sure that does work, but its really hard to eat every 2-3hours when i work busy *** 6 hour shifts and have no time to eat, and when i gotta sit through 4-5 hour classes. i dont think id be able to do that diet

Just bring a snack then.

Like grapes in a tupperware case.

Pretzels even. But try and stick close the the serving size for anything but fruits and veggies.

Atkins is flawed.

You want to lose weight, James' suggestion is the only true way. You simply have to burn more than you're taking in.

No.. How do you not have time to excercise? Stop being lazy and just do it. Weight will not just fall off by itself, if you want to lose weight then you need to do something about it. Changing your diet is the first step...
