What is good about eating in cycles is that it helps you raise your metabolism. Your body will get confused instead of thinking that you are starving and your metabolism should stay up. Cherise Thanks for all of those tips on lower cal eating and you are right, withour exercise it may be possible to lose weight but it is hard to make a permanent change withour exercise because you can only lower your calories to a certain point before you are not eating enough for your basic nutrients. Exercise and cycled eating are keys to losing weight for sure. This is actually a good idea as far as eating goes, although you should probably try to vary the diet a little more.

People need to learn to eat to live not live to eat. It is that simple rule about food that can help you out. I do however agree with annamichelle about one thing, it is okay to have one cheat day, however try not to go over your calorie intake, so if you decided to start eating only 1,200 calories a day, stick to that. I do not reccomend any person eat less than 1,200 calories a day as that is the lowest calorie intake reccomended. I also suggest that everyone do some kind of physical activity, something you enjoy, whether it is a walk or maybe if you have kids play with them. Also Swimming is excellent as you use alot of your muscles to swim. I took Aquasize classes for awhile when I live din the city, I reccomend them for anyone who may have physical ailments, as they are low impact but excellent workouts. My husband and I changed our way of eating completely, and I have type one diabetese. We eat alot of healthy cereals, like bran flakes, wheatabix,flax plus, fibre one. and we eat alot of tuna and eggs, and Chicken and fish, we went from 1 and 2 % milk to skim milk, it has everything that is in 1 and 2 % and Homogenized milk, just alot less fat. We also buy Whey Protein and make shakes with that and our milk, and a tsp of either grape seed oil or Flax seed oil, and put that in our cereal. Our favorite thing to eat are Fish with alittle bit of lemon juice and pepper, no salt, we have a non stick frying pan so we never need to spray or oil it,it is electric as well, we also like eating Salsa chicken, baked in the oven, or BBq chicken, with usually a tbsp or 2 of BBQ sauce, the kind we use is President's choice, it has only 20 calories per Tbsp. We also like beef every now and then so we look for good lean cuts of steak and stew meats and roasts. If there is some fat on the outside we always cut it off before we cook it. I love eating this way, we love veggies and Brown rice, when we do eat bread we use 100% whole wheat, I would actually reccomend using whole grain bread as it is healthier, but it is also about $4-$5 a loaf. But we rarely eat bread, atleast I do rarely eat it, my husband takes tuna sandwhiches with him to work, and fruits and veggies, and a few healthy granola bars as snacks, there is fibre bars and trail mix bars and oatmeal to go bars, they are low in calories and he enjoys them. I hope my advice will help somebody out, and I wish everyone good luck in your weight loss goals. If you are interested in Getting on X-weighted, you can go to splice.ca, and click on Casting call, there will be something there that you can click on to get applications for x-weighted, right now they are doing families. Anyways, good luck all, and remember, you must start loving yourself as you are now, and remember that you are worth it, you deserve to look beautiful on the outside as well as the inside. You are all loved.

I lost 54 pounds. I'm now 124 pounds. What I'm going to suggest worked for me but is quite controvesial and I AM going to be criticised for it but I'm telling you it works for me. Basically I diet for two weeks. I eat nothing but Fruit and Veg and Jacket Potatoes and steamed fish cutting my calorie intake to about 1,100 each day. This is a lot of food when your only eating fruit and veg and steamed fish. Then for ONE day I eat as much of anything I like. Chocolate crisps biscuits you name it I eat it. Then I go back on my diet for two weeks then I have my day off etc etc. The idea behind this is that when I eat all day one day I kick start my metabolism into speeding up and keep my body guessing. So just as my body gets used to 1,100 calories each day I up it dramatically so my metabolism kicks in then cut it dramatically and my metabolism takes a few days to slow down. I really wouldn't recommend this but if like me you've tried everything else then... Hi Guys,

Weight loss is extremely difficult and thats how X-Weighted came to be... they followed everyday people around and watched them having to do it while living their daily lives. No, its not easy... If anything it was just plain difficult!!! I knew that there are other things that make it difficult but since being on the show, I realized I had a lot more demons to face and how much they played a part in my unhealthy lifestyle. Since the show I've learned that I have to put myself first and love myself FIRST before any real changes can happen. There were still a lot of scenes that were not included on the show but the most important lesson is to love myself first. Because of that revelation I found it *somewhat* easier to motivate myself to make the changes in my lifestyle. I still enjoy chocolate but have kept it to a TREAT and not lunches. LOL My kids and I go on hiking trips and active camping trips to stay active and to enjoy each other's company. And until today, (almost 2 years in January) I still haven't touched a cigarette. I wish everyone the best of luck in their lifestyle change(s). Remember to seek help and support of others and remember that its completey healthy, and necessary to take care of yourself first!

It is obvious that Fred the stylist and self esteem guy on the show cares about the participants because he makes them look so good. Not all of them achieve thier goals, but thier make-overs make them look like they did! I need to lose some weight and if I ate right and moved more I would. Knowing how to look great at 200lbs is an art and he shows them how to do it. They don't all look successful at the weigh in but they look amazing after Fred dresses them and does thier hair!!! Even Jeremy! Some of them even look like models and they are still overweight! If I could have someone show me how to look great in an unperfect body I would be thrilled. I know eating less will make me smaller, but how do I look hot? Nikki is a great example and Jen from Calgary. That was AMAZING! I want to look like them and they still had more weight to lose! I think how they feel at the end of the show has to do with how they look. Anyone else? I can’t believe that nobody comments on how amazing these people look at he end of the show!

In fact Growing up I never got to choose what I ate and alot of the time my mom would offer me candy even though she knew i was not supposed to eat it, anyhow, growing up I had alot of trouble controlling my blood sugars, and Because of that I lost part of the sight in my right eye, I have had many surgeries to fix it, but have had no luck. I thought i was never going to be able to have kids because my sugars were always so high. But since I got engaged in 2006 and now am married, I decided i wanted to workout, And I have not regreted it since, I got the okay from my specialist to have a baby,which is a dream come true for me. Anyways, my advise to all of you, is even though you have no motivation, or no energy, you need to make exercise a regular part of your daily life, I find i actually get more energy when i do workout. Anyways, I feel good about myself even if I am not really losing any weight, I feel good about myslef, because I know i am beautiful both on the inside and the outside, and my husband helped me realize that too, he makes me feel special, and tells me i am beautiful, and is happy that i am atleast trying my best to look even better for him. I have also changed my diet and eat alot better. I don't buy junk food , if i am hungry i will snack on veggies or fruit. And It seems to satisfy any cravings for sweet or salty things. Anyways. I hope that my story has helped some of you out.

But at 225lbs and only 22 years old, it's hard for me to love myself. I am 5ft 3inches tall, and that's a lot of weight to carry around.

I really wish I would have known how to loose weight with out haveing surgery, because I have had a hard time breaking bad habits and have started going backwards instead of forward with the weight loss Yes I have lost weight and I am greatful for loosing what I have but it is not enough because of health reasons now. I went from 315 to 180 but in 1 yr I put on almost 30 to 40 Lbs I know I have to do something but it has been a struggle. I have children that are ADHD and are very picky with what they eat so thinking of just my self or just focusing on myself is not easy. I am trying to get more energetic but it seem to be a struggle to get energy I have tryed pills and drinks to help me get energy to do my exercises but it still isnt working. I watched X weighted and really wish I could have the help that these people were offered I my self would have taken advantage of this oppertunity. I cant believe some of these people just refused to work their butts off to reach a goal that they set for themselves. It is pure lazyness.

I feel that it would be very beneficial that you do a show on employee fitness to increase productivity within any workplace environment, especially ours as we work shift work! and it is very hard to get into a normal routine. In turn it would demonstrate great role modelling for the youth we work with as they are teenage girls. thanks, Ellen hi

My name is Amanda and I am a 26 year old single mother supporting my son alone. I love my son, but he is an over active 4 year old and he tends to take up more of time. So I am unable to go to a gym or doing any sort of exercises. In the last four years. I have been slowing gaining weight, before my son is born I was at my normal weight. I think that stress and lack of sleep has caused me to have a low metabolism. I really need your help to get me back to the way I was before my son was born so I can have more energy to spend time with my son. I would also like people to think of me as a yummy Mommy not a mommy who looks tired and run down help! Thanxs Amanda P.s I am from Ottawa Ontario so is there anyway you guys can do a show here.

My best friend lives in Calgary. Renata Nelson. We have been friends for life (since we were babies!). Renata has two twin 3 year old boys Noah and Jacob. She is recently going thru a separation. Renata use to be very fit and athletic when we were in highschool. After having her boys and due to stress she is over weight and could use some help. I think she would be the ideal person for your show. She is vibrant and energentic and everyone 'remembers' Renata once they meet her. I would appreciate your help. Concerned Janyce Higgins. Hi,

I am interested in corrosponding with Paul and the show. I have always struggled with my self image, even as a slim teen. Now at 25, I am trying to overcome that struggle. Over the last few years I have gained 100 pounds. During that time I was in a unfulfilling relationship, attending university and having some health concerns. In the last 8 months I have since began to make my life healthier. Graduating from nursing I realized that I have to take control of all aspects of my life. I ended the negative relationship, started a fitness program and has lossed 30+ pounds. I need that little something extra to keep me on the path to my goal. Watching the program I know that Paul can help me with that. I am very motivated. Paul's no B.S attitude is perfect for the last hurdle. Now that summer is here I want to incorporate outdoor activites. Learn more about my nutritional needs and how to best meet them. I am looking to loose another 30 pounds by August. Then if my success continues that last 40 pounds over the next year. I know that this is a huge goal but this is something that really need and deserve. Hoping to hear from you, Michelle.
