First, make some tests (medical analyses)!
Find out if you have problems with your glands (thyroid) or if your extra pounds are a result of your ... slow metabolism (to put it gently and not say that you eat like crazy)
 
The doctor told me I had NO problem with my thyroid, so if you don't have this problem, this might work for you also... It might also work for those with thyroid problems, I don't know. Test it, and let me know.
Get a precise (reliable) scale
My husband gave me one TEFAL scale (very accurate indications) like a present...
I tried not to feel offended (@#!&*@). He was exasperatingly indifferent to whatever I was wearing, doing, feeling etc. – especially due to my overweight. I was surprised he even thought about it ! It was quite expensive, but much less than the "wonder" pills that I've tried in the past. Beside, think that you'll eat less... and spend less on food. (HA!)
Check your weight daily

You should check your weight daily, same hour, after your morning shower and after your prayer! Write down your weight. Write down also what you ate the previous day (keep a food diary). I use EXCEL, it is perfect for me.
You should be able to create a (nice) graphic on your weight "evolution".
Analyzing the table & graphic that you created you can find out how your body responds to certain foods - you get fat, you loose weight or your weight is stable.
  • For instance, I noticed I gain a little weight before my monthly period (two-three days). I won't comment here why (liquid accumulation? other changes? don't know)
  • I noticed how well I loose weight if I eat FISH.
  • I noticed that on water days (all you have is water - the whole day) I loose about 1 kg (2 pounds). But if I repeat this water day before one week, I loose less (0.5-0.7kg / 1-1,5 pounds). So I had the water day only once a week.
Hey, if you're not an Excel/Lotus fan you can still keep track of your weight!!!
WEIGHT COMMANDER is there for you to keep track of your weight, give you recipes, calculate statistics and much more. It's cool!

Don't repeat my mistakes, please !
Read carefully whatever I wrote on my pages before taking any "action"
