Use these steps they helped me loose 3 stone in 6 months healthily;1, cut out caffine as it slows metabolism2, drink at least 6-8 glasses of WATER each day3, don't drink carbonated drinks4, exercise for at least 30minutes a day5, reduce portion size6, reduce simple carbs such as chips7, eat at least 5 portions of fruit and veg a dayand treat yourself occasionally (this stops you feeling like you've been left out) Good Luck hun...x

 Hi
Calorie counting. And having a day off once a week. Ie- no calorie counting and eating any amount you want basically. Keeps the body on its toes. The reason you possibly put the weight back on is because you avoided lots of foods, then ate them again after the diet. Dont worry so much about the foods, more the calorie content. And shops these days sell more foods with the calories on the packets. Average calories to lose weight will be a max of 1200-1500 a day, but the site ive put below will tell you exactly how many you need to lose the amount of weight you want to.
A good site i used, that helped me lose weight within weeks, was sparkpeople.com. Its free to join and they set a plan up for you based on your individual wants and needs. But without telling you what foods to eat.
Obviously lots of fatty food isnt good, but 'diets' are nutorious for people putting the weight back on again. Calorie counting is more successful long term.
Good luck.

 All I can suggest Hun is eat sensibly and exercise regularly. But if you want to tone up do exercise on the running machine or exercise bike as this is likely to burn off more fat. Make sure you get sound advice from the people who work at the gym if you want to tone up the right places, but don't over do it. Ok? Dusky xxx.

Another way was to walk my sons dog, I used to put on loads of clothes and set off and do 2 miles per day, i sweated buckets, got in the bath when i got back.
Also i did a day of no solids, just juices. I even had soup i had made for tea which i had blended to a liquid.
These things certainly worked for me.
take care

Chose a low fat cereal with a high in fibre rating, i chose albran and special K as they both worked on me really well. Try this for 2 weeks and see how it goes gd luck x
