I am morbidly obese so I can talk.  weighed 278, down to 234 since Nov.  doing weight watchers.  The Dr's at the hospital I work at have seminars and get to gethers in the community.  Call the local hospitals and see what they have available, you might work out something.  good luck!  Its hell being fat!

If you would give anything to lose this weight then start making a plan and stick with it:\n\n1.  Get a physical from your doctor informing him that you want to lose weight.\n\n2.  Find a local community gym that is free.  If not, find a gym that is close to where you live and join.  Or you can start out by just walking daily without joining a gym.  This might be frightful to you because  you are big and may feel that others are looking at you............WHO CARES !\n\n3.  150 pounds to lose is a lot of weight.  You may need to see a counselor to find out why you are addicted to food while losing the weight.\n\n4.  You need to buy a book on binge eating/food addiction so that you can find out what type of relationship you have with food.  Please keep in mind the following:\n\nYou already know how to lose weight.  You know that if you eat less and exercise more eventually you’ll see the pounds come off.  What’s getting in your way?  Why do you usually regain the weight you lost?  The answer to all these questions is the same “Emotional Eating.”  Simply defined, emotional eating means you eat to satisfy emotional hunger; it means you use food for comfort or as a way to cope with life; and it means you eat for reasons other than what your body needs.  Whenever you reach for a boredom-breaking snack despite your commitment, or whenever you eat to quell anxiety, that’s emotional eating.   Whenever you binge after a fight, or double up on portions because your day turned sour, that’s emotional eating. Whenever you feel that sharp craving for your favorite food, that’s emotional eating.  When we eat during these times while on a diet, we believe the diet doesn’t work or that we lack self control and then look for the quickest way to lose weight (fasting/diet pills, ect) after eating all we can since we already messed the diet day up.   \n\nGet control of your emotional eating and any diet will work.  Best of Luck !\n\n\nDiets do work\n\nDiets can work but because we know so little about ourselves and our relationship with food, it makes it difficult to win the battle. A lot of us have problems with dieting because we have a problem called "emotional eating" we eat to comfort ourselves during difficult, stressful, sad, etc times in our lives.\n\nYou may experience all those emotions during dieting as we continuously get on the scale hoping to see a big difference in numbers after dieting only for a day or two. Also what is stressful when dieting is that we try to lose a large number of weight in such a short period of time which in most cases is unreasonable. \n\nThis all brings about stress, discomfort and sadness. When we feel this way, we turn to our best friend for help and support which for many of us is food. The diet is now broken and we feel that we can't stick to diets. We then try fad diet after fad diet hoping to lose the original 20 pounds and now we may have as much as 30 pounds to lose because we continue to put on weight as we continue to break these fad diets by binging for starting our next diet. \n\nPlease learn about your relationship with food before your next diet so that you may achieve your goals. To help a little, keep in mind the following:\n\nYou already know how to lose weight. You know that if you eat less and exercise more eventually you’ll see the pounds come off.

If you are in the US talk to your doc or call Joslin Clinic in Boston, MA. They can connect you with Joslin's Angel Network. I read about it in a Diabetes Digest. It said they help uninsured people with getting supplies. Good luck!

It doesn't have to be expensive just cut back your meal portions and you can use anything you can grasp in your hand as weights and walk around your neighborhood.  Also drink plenty of water...I know it sounds cliche but it really will work.

You can't control where your body loses the weight.  You just need a safe weight loss plan (low carb is not safe) to lose the weight.

You should call the center near you and speak to the manager. Explain to her your situation and she may work with you!\n\nTo find out if the Weight Watchers Meetings in your area offers scholarships, call 1-800-651-6000.
