Lots of water and a multi vitamin.  Get a partner to keep each other accountable.\n\nCut out complex sugars, like soda, candy, and white breads.  Eat whole grain.  Pastas and breads can still be eaten, but don't over do it.  Make sure they are whole grain.\n\nAlso, eat small meals 5 times a day.  And NO carbs or sugars within 2 hours of bed time.  This will also help you sleep better.  \n\nGet some cardio workouts in 4 or 5 times a week and some light weights 2 or 3 times.  The more muscle the higher the motabolism.

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.

First of all, the best way to lose weight and KEEP IT OFF is to engage in a lifestyle change - not a "diet", not a sudden burst of non-stop gymnastics - but a change in how you eat and staying active. Remember this extremely basic reality -- if you take in more calories than you burn, you will store the extra calories, and that is what becomes extra weight. \n\nFinding an exercise regimine that you know you can stay with and ENJOY is a key. Aerobics will burn calories while you work out, and then doing work with weight resistance will build lean muscle mass which increases your resting metabolic rate (you can burn more calories while you're just sitting there).\n\nSlow and steady weight loss is the most effective way to KEEP IT OFF. 20 Kg in two months is a bit ambitious. Setting realistic goals will keep you on track and will keep you encouraged. The key, again, is that you said you wanted to keep it off -- slow and steady and healthy --- that will help you lose it and keep it off.\n\nVery best of luck to you!

Losing weight is easy: Just eat less. Keeping it off is hard. This involves a life style change. And exercise needs to be part of it. There is nothing hard about exercise. Just go out for a walk. You don't have to run. Just walk. Walk around the block. Then, after a while, 2 blocks. Then work up to 3 blocks. \n\nAnd while your exercising, eat a little less and eat healthy. Cut back on the calories, starting with about 200 calories less than you eat now. Give it a couple weeks, and if that is not working, cut back another 100 to 200 calories. The calories you eat should come from mostly proteins and good carbs. Cut back (or cut out) refined sugars and fatty foods - especially trans-fat.

Don't force yourself to avoid food that you enjoy, you'll cave in, I know I have. ha-ha\nYou acknowledge what you did and now you have to find ways to help you avoid a repeat of this situation. One thing that works for me is keeping a food journal. Write down everything you eat, when I do this it keeps me in check and it helps me with portion control and eating the right serving. So instead of eating a whole bag of chips (110-230), I would eat 11-12 chips which is just one serving.\nBe strong & healthy and good luck w/ the weight loss.

here's some for u. Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart.  You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself.  Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two  complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of.  It needs to be diluted.  These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without.  Then work from there.  Remember these are  perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it.  If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day.  Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit.  Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night.  You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly.  This is an important factor of losing weight.  Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.  \nAs for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me.

Honestly if you need anything else don't hesitate to IM me, krista_girl86 even if you don't pick me as best answer, i'd be happy to help\n\nother then that make it a habit to watch TLC or the biggest loser on NBC when its on

Break down your goals into mini goals so that they seem more managable.  For instance, if you want to lose 30 pounds, break it down into six five pound mini milestones.  When you reach each milestone, give yourself a non-food treat, like a manicure or a new outfit.\n\nMake a plan to lose weight like going for a walk with your kids 5 days a week.  Get support from friends and family.  If you have a workout partner, you'll be less likely to skip your workout "date".\n\nMake a list of reasons that you want to lose weight like having more energy.  When you feel like skipping a workout, go to the list for a good reason not to skip it.

you're probably not gonna want to hear this but there is no quick and safe way to lose weight; but there is a sure way. It will take some time. Increase your physical activity and reduce your caloric intake. Simply eat a little less and exercise a little more. Exercise doesn't have to be working out all the time. Any sustained  activity will work. Take brisk walks, wash your car, whatever. IT WILL WORK! you just have to be patient because it takes time but losing weight slower inceases the chances that it will stay off.No gimmicks or fad diets; just common sense.

You need exercise, hon. Put those wonderful kids in the stroller, and go for nice long walks every day, at least 2 miles. You already know what you  aren't supposed to eat, and I'm sure you know you need to drink at least 8 glasses of liquid every day. You just have to remember, moderation, Don't pig out on one thing, or only eat salads, it doesn't work and only makes you crave what you shouldn't. Also, eat slowly, and only 2/3 to 1/2 as much as you normally do. It will take you a long time to lose the weight, but taking it off slowly will ensure it stays off. If you slip up and just have to have a treat, don't feel bad. Everybody craves something once in a while. Good luck.

I myself lost over 100 lbs in a little over a year and have kept it off for over 3 years.  Heres what I did: Exercise regularly, eat a well balanced low fat diet, drink plenty of water, and keep a food journal.  A food journal is so helpful because you can keep track of what you are eating and see what you may need to cut back on.  Limit your soda intake.  Exercising, it doesn't have to be anything crazy just something that you can stick with.  When I started losing weight I walked for 30 everyday and slowly increased my time and speed overtime.  Since its cold now you might try exercise videos or even joining a local gym.  I hope this helps you out.  Good Luck
