I just wondered what diet everyone is doing...WW, calorie counting, just eating healthy, etc...

I'm doing Medifast And currently attempting to re-introduce an exercise routine now that I'm over the initial few weeks.

[amandie]

I habe been/am doing WW for 2 years off/on but recently focusing on more protein/fat and somewhat lower carb now so I can get more out of my daily points (I am on the lowest end you can get- 26.)

[Dottington]

I calorie count and hike 5 days a week Also I eat mainly unprocessed foods and focus on protein, healthy fats, and limiting carbs.

[Hoopty]

My focus is on clean, whole foods, high-protein and high-fat.
I don't heavy carbs anymore, unless DH and I go out to eat which happens maybe once every two weeks, because I feel like 1) I don't need it and 2) it triggers cravings.
Calorie counting is part of my life as well since I'm a strong believer of calories-in vs calories-out. However, I don't go crazy over it and measure and count every little thing.

I have sweets every once in a while. Again - calories-in vs calories-out. I'm not on a diet - it's a lifestyle that I want to maintain possibly forever.

As far as exercise goes - I go to the gym about 4 times a week where I do between 30min and 45min of cardio (treadmill, stationary bike, arc trainer) and weight-lifting.

I calorie count and I'm pretty strict about it - everything that goes in my mouth has been measured on the kitchen scale first.

I eat whatever I want so long as I have enough calories budgeted for it. I've recently implemented some new principles:

Eat 5 servings of fruits and/or veggies per day.

Eat under 1700 calories per day, for 5 out of 7 days.

Run 3 times a week (C25K).

I do the Insanity workout program (HIIT). I have completed the first month and honestly haven't seen significant results. BUT I actually enjoy the workout. It's fast pace, burns lots of calories, and I do feel stronger. But I really am a poor dieter (that's why I'm here). I suppose if I do anything, it's calorie count. I find that cutting carbs has NOT been effective for me, and I wonder if it has something to do with my pear shape. I've read that the carb-cutting method is really only effective for the apple-shapes, which scientifically makes sense.

I am doing WW, which has worked for me and other members of my family in the past. I am also starting to workout - running a few times a week and doing some bodyweight strength exercises the days I don't run. I will probably be buying Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred soon and starting that as well.

[Tibbits2u]

I calorie count as well ..i've done the whole "diet" thing time and time again and could never keep the weight off..so i opted for a lifestyle change instead. I also exercise daily (4 days walking, 3 days strength training)

[tehshort1]

I'm doing WW. I try to do some kind of exercise at least 6 days a week and go back and forth between cardio and strength.

[tapifish]

Lately I've just been watching my portions and trying to make healthier choices. I know a lot of people restrict certain type of foods but I eat what I like just in reasonable amounts. For excercise I'll just use the stairs instead of the elevator or park at the end of the parking lot(small things like this)

[Riestrella]

I try and eat healthy fresh food (so lots of fruit and veg) and cook my dinners instead of buying them ready made from stores.

My exercise is a combination of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution, Shaun T's Insanity, running, yoga and Zumba. I follow this programme to schedule all the workouts: http://www.halhigdon.com/training/51...aining-Program
So stretch is yoga, cross/strength is the home workout and running is running.

I always saw success when I was exercising a lot but I need to be careful about food too. I've recently started eating salads for lunch so we'll see how it goes!

[cgd413]

Same as Tibbits2u with calorie counting and a lifestyle change. As for exercise I exercise around 5/6 times a week alternating between strength training and cardio.

Have been off track for a few weeks but what I did was calorie count, I was not that strict on the measuring but I found using a smaller Plate helped control my portions. I was doing 45 mIns cardio 6 days a week and lifting 2-3 times per week. I also stopped making pasta or rice and eating bread, so my usual side dishes were veggies and or beans. That all helped me drop 33 lbs in about 3 1/2 months. oh I also gave up soda or any sugary drinks in after the second month.

[glitterhairdye]

I calorie count (i've been kind of slack this week though). And I'm on week 5 of Insanity. I honestly haven't been seeing results and I'm not sure why. Other than this week of not counting, I was religiously eating 1300-1400 cals a day and I've only missed one workout in 5 weeks and in the past two months I've only lost 5 pounds. It's pretty frustrating as that means it will take me a year to lose the 30 I want to lose.
