Start Jogging everyday for at least half an hour. And walk as much as you can in a day.\n\nAlso eat healthy. I am sure within two months you will lose 6kgs. Maybe more. All the best!!

Slow and steady DOES win this race!!!  I lost 10-15kg about 6yrs ago and went from a 16 to a 8/10 (Aussie sizes)  I'm now a 12 and am still very happy!\n\nYou sound like you are more than ready to begin this change - you certainly have the desire to do it!  Starting is by far the hardest part of the weight loss process.  Once you get healthy habits going, it's surprisingly easy to maintain them.  You need to find a way to give yourself that inital push or get someone to help you do it.\n\nI suggest you set a date to start your new healthy lifestyle - say to yourself "I am going to change my life and I am going to begin today.  I will not look back because this is something I am doing to better myself."  \n\n\nConsider consulting a nutritionist - they'll be able to help you understand why you binge eat and create healthy eating habits as well as eating plans.  I suggest you also consult your regular GP and find out the state of your health - blood pressure etc.  You don't want to push yourself too far too fast because that will most likely make you lose your motivation.\n\nYou have to accept that you are going to have to be selfish to a degree, because you will not be able to achieve your goal unless you take time out for yourself.  Ask your family and friends to support you by encouraging you and being conscious of their own habits when they're around you.  The more supportive, and healthy influences you surround yourself with, the more chance you have of succeeding.\n\nIf you're not used to exercising, you'd be best to start with gentle exercises, because the going from 0 to 100 will make you hurt and the more you hurt, the less you want to exercise and as a result, you lose your motivation.\n\nDon't expect things to happen overnight, and don't bother with fad diets that promise a quick fix - your body registers dieting as "starvation" and hangs onto your body fat.  \n\nKeep things interesting for yourself.  If you find yourself growing bored with your chosen exercise regime, try taking it up a notch, or else try something new.  If you join a gym, try to find one that gives free consultations with trainers every so often.  If not, make sure you join one that has plenty of staff around who can help you use the machinery and advise you on how things work, and what weights and speeds you should be using etc.  If you're nervous about embarrassing yourself, don't be!  Look around at different gyms, there are a heap of ones that aren't filled with people pumping iron and are quieter and less imposing for beginners.  If your finances can run to it, try to organise a session with one of the gym's personal trainers once a month or so -  that way you can get a proper, personalised evaluation and find out if you should be changing your exercise routine.\n\nIf you can't run to a gym membership, the try walking - set yourself a goal to reach, I used to go to video store at the top of the main road.  It only took me ten minutes to walk there, but I slowly increased that to include the streets surrounding it.\n\nWhen you go out, try to get a particular friend to keep an eye on you and help keep you from straying.  However, don't forget to treat yourself every so often.  I find that if I deny myself a treat for too long, I end up binging, which destroys all the good work I've done!  \n\nAlso, try not to eat before you go to sleep - I believe 2hrs is the minimum recommended gap.  And don't forget the mental component to losing weight - the mind plays a big part. Don't eat in front of the TV or computer - it distracts your mind from the process of eating.  Eat slowly - it helps your body feel fuller - 15-20min is the recommended minimum.  And try to prepare your own meals, your sense of smell plays a big part in your enjoyment of food - it's a preliminary stage to eating, so it prepares your mind and unconsciously begins to help you feel mentally fu

Compare some pictures of you at various weight.  I think that you have developed more muscle and body mass and not really fat. \n\nI'll bet that you will see in the pics that you are more define.  Don't worry about it too much, add a few years and you will wish that you can get  this time back.  Just enjoy your hotness, while you can. :-)

Remind those that make comments about your weight gain that it's due to the meds you've been on to help you get healthier. I know exactly how you feel! I have always been a size 4 until I got sick last October. I was on antibiotics and then steriods (Predisone is the worst!!!) and I've put on  weight. I try not to worry about what others think of me and my weight gain, I just remind myself that the weight can come back off!

I used to be 10kgs overweight and did the following (Lost about .5kgs each week over a four month period, trimed down more after that and am now at a stable weight with < 6% body fat)\n\nFollow the 80/20 rule. \n\nIf your diet is really bad, focus 80% on that, 20% on exercise.\nNutrition:\ncut out alcohol\nbalance 1 portion protein/1 portion carbs in every meal. A portion is what can fit easily in one hand - and eat lots of vegetables\ndrink 2 litres water\nhave 5-6 meals a day\nplan your meals the night before - be prepared\nuse only slim foods - no chikcen skin, no cream, no lollies/sweets. cut out butter, mayonaise etc, pizza, fried foods\nExercise:\nModerate all round for first 3-4 weeks - but - each worekout consists of 4-5 exercises, with 6 reps each:\n\ne.g Bench Press\nset 1: 12 reps, 60kg\nset 2: 10 reps increase weight 65kg\nset 3: 8 reps increase weight 70kg\nset 4: 6 reps increase weight 72.5kg\nset 5: 12 reps increase weight 75kg\nset 6: 12 reps new exercise from same body group e.g. incline press 50kg\n\nIf you want to focus on abs, do 3x20 crunches on a swiss/ exercise ball after each workout session.\n\nTip: your workout should only take 45mins each day - and try to do a minimum of 3-4 days per week. If you are keen on running, fit this in for 20 minutes every other day.\n\nDo this and you could expect to loose up to 0.5 kg per week, maybe even a kilo per week 9but no more as your body will not cope with such a rapid weight loss)

I'm not happy!  I had two kids one right after the other...my personal choice.  But now I'm stuck with all this weight!  I am happy with other things like my hair, skin tone, no wrinkles, etc.  But I'm unhappy about my weight.  I went from a 6 to a -- size and I hate it! \n\nHowever, I am working to fix it and I've gone back to my kickboxing classes and I'm beginning to lose weight.  Eventually, I can be happy with myself again.  Can't be unhappy with myself all the time now can I?

For me motivation just wasn't the key.  I used to be 100 pounds overweight and I never exercised.  No way was I motivated to start.  I had to look at it differently, like a job or a chore, and just set a time that I was going to do it and then get up and DO IT, no excuses, no matter what.  Believe it or not, it works.  (heck, I did lots of other things that I don't want to do because I have to do them, why not add exercise to the list) A year and a half later, I LOVE exercising.  I look forward to it and feel like a slug if I don't do it.  It's just habit now, part of my day that I enjoy.  There just was no possible way that I was going to feel motivated to exercise almost every day when I had been sedentary for so long, but making it part of my routine really did the trick for me.

how did you lose it? how much did you lose, and how much did you weigh before?\n\nif what you lost was primarily water weight, you probably will gain it back, unfortunately.\n\nif you exercise and cut back on calories and stop, you will gain it back.\n\nbut if you continue, you should be able to maintain your new weight!\n\ngood luck.

Yeah, I was in a horrible accident, and I got into martial arts incidentally as part of my rehab(funny story for another day). Anywho, at that time, i had been in a hospital bed for months and months and unable to eat regular food, so I was a total lard ass. I went into that bad at 215(i'm a 6ft ex-football player) so i was in decent shape, and i came out of that bed weighing around 285. Needless to say I was bigtime out of shape, and i could barely move. Anywho, as part of my rehab i was doing lots and lots of stretching. 1-2 hrs a day. Following Tom Kurz's instruction (recomend the book or the DVD .. i stole em of DC++ but you can buy if you want). To Sum up here.. was a total fatty for a bit there and i could do the side splits as a fatty after just a bit over 2 months weighing 265 and being by no means thin. Just gotta work at it every day, remember to warm up before you stretch to get your blood flowing, stretch all antagonistic muscles before you do your splits, and breath slowly and deeply during stretching.

Don't worry about it. It'll come back to you. You probably stress too much. That can cause weight loss.

Of course you will. Stress sometimes does that to you. Just give it a go, and you'll get back to your normal weight in time.
