I will gladly give you a diet based on Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem. You can do it yourself at home. You won't need to measure anything or count calories. It is all already proportioned. It involves all food groups and is based on 1250 calories. Very healthy.  I have shared it with many askers on yahoo answers.\n\nMy email link is  not active but I can activate it for a short time should you want the diet...just add a note to your post that you want it and I will unblock my email for a short time.

Well my first suggestion would be to exercise.  Walking is an excellent way to start.  I would say to keep doing that.  I agree with one of the earlier answers to join the YMCA.  I belong there and have made many friends.  It helps to keep me motivated.  That being said, it sounds like you are an emotional eater.  ME TOO!!!  When I am upset, when I am happy, when I am depressed, when something good happens, when something bad happens etc.....  I use food to fix all issues and celebrate the good one.  \n\nSo I joined LA weight loss.  I love them.  I am only saying that as a suggestion.  But I will tell you what they taught me.  \n\nFirst and most important is journaling.  Write down everything you eat and be sure to include portion sizes.  \n\nNext I would concentrate on portion sizes.  Keep track of how much of each thing you eat.   Now you have a starting point to where you can start to make smaller portions and healthier choices.  \n\nIf you don't already, start eating more fruits, veggies and lean proteins.  Grill your chicken, steam your veggies and loose the fast foods.  I love chinese and have had my share of depressed chinese eating but if you find yourself there, just have a smaller portion and fill up on water.  \n\nThat is the next important point.  Drink water and pleanty of it.  At least, if not more, 8-10 8oz. glasses a day.  Stay away from soda as it is empty calories and makes you dehydrated.  \n\nAnd keep your chin up.  It will not happen over night but it will happen.  I have on my refridgerator a list of all the reasons I am trying to lose weight and what my reward will be.  I am 10 lbs from my goal and my reward is getting my belly button peirced.  I have lost over 50 lbs so far.  If I can do it, so can you.\n\nIf you would like to email me you can.  My personal email is ejniver@hotmail.com\n\nElicia

Well, if you reward yourself or get rewarded by someone else, that always helps. I am on a diet right now and my Mom said that if I could lose the weight that I wanted to lose before school starts, then she would give me $1000 for a brand new wardrobe. That is a lot of incentive for me to lose the weight. I will also eat fun foods that are good for you. It's easier to eat salad, fruit, and low fat ice cream when its hot outside, so that is basically what I do. I have also tried to find some other hobbies besides being at my job that keep me preoccupied and not thinking about eating. Just stick to eating salads all the time! They taste good and they are good for you!

1ST KNOW THAT DIETS DON'T WORK...period. \nIf you want to lose the weight & KEEP IT OFF (which is the most important) of course u have to exercise & eat right BUTyou need to adapt to a new healthy lifestyle including lots of water. Water is the key...drinking the 8 glasses a day is not enough, atleast it isnt for me...I drink 24oz of bottles of water every hour almost. \n\nNot only does water flush out your system but it also gives you energy without harmful pills. Also You may want to eat lots of chicken & fish... you can have bread as carbs but not to much. \n\nThe misconception about weight loss (especially for women) is to skip meals or not eat BUT in doing so you actually do more harm than good, because your body will store the fat rather than release it. If you really want to lose weight you have to eat. \n\nI eat 5 times a day & I am in perfect shape for my height, age & body type (5'9, early 20's & 145lbs). Just drink your water, do some cardio, focus on your problem areas (so do crunches, squats & jogging) and dont 4get to eat. If you starve yourself the only thing you lose is your mind. OH! & limit your quantities. When your body says you are full, listen to it & dont over induldge.\n\n\n(EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT BUT THIS MAY ALSO WORK FOR YOU - even with your special circumstance)\n\nMy Daily Food schedule includes: \n\nBREAKFAST is\n- 1 serving oat, wheat or bran cereal\n- 1 medium orange or apple\n- 1 cup skim milk over my cereal (tastes the same as regular milk to me) \n- 1 whole wheat piece of toast (dry)\n\nLUNCH is\n- 1 entree of whatever I want (limited portions)\n- 1 medu=ium orange or apple\n- a spinach salad with non fat dressing & 1 egg for protein\n\nTHE AFTERNOON SNACK is\n- an orange or apple\n\nDINNER is \n- 1 entree of whatever I want (limited portions) \n- 2 cups of fresh veggies\n- spinach salad with non fat dressing & 1 egg for protein \n\nDessert\n-1 small serving of whatever I want\n\nAND TONS OF WATER THROUGH OUT THE DAY!!!\n\n**NOTE** \nSINCE YOU WANT TO LOOSE WEIGHT IN A SHORT TIME PERIOD EATING AS INSTRUCTED ABOVE AND DRINKING THE TONS OF WILL LOOSEN UP YOUR BOWELS ALLOWING YOUR BODY TO FLUSH AWAY THE EXCESS POUNDS QUICKLY, YET HEALTHILY. \n\nI personally drink over 12 to 13, 24oz bottles of water throughout my normal day because it makes u feel better after u get used to it plus ur not "clogged up". Anyway, I hope I could be of some help to you & I hope you lose those unwanted pounds & keep them off...& BTW, STAY AWAY FROM FAD DIETS!!! THEY NEVER WORK!!!

weight lose is a case to case situation. do not mess with the pills, please dont.  they will give you more down the road problems. loosing wieght is not easy, i agree. but here are a few ideas that if you stick with it, you will see results. i promise and if you dont, sue me.  here is what you do. control what and when you eat. eat three meals a day, simply right, dont snack when your hungry. eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. stay consistant with the times.  eat well rounded meals. touch in one day all of the food groups. light breakfast, heardy lunch and a simple dinner.  also excercise, something as simple as a walk around the park or through the neighborhood, will do just fine. and drink plenty of water. especially with you feel the urge to snack. if you do this, i promise you will see the wieght fall off. and... give it some time, dont expect results overnight.  let me know how it goes....

I think to lose weight, you need to do a few things:\n\n1. Ask yourself-do you really need to lose weight? Check out some charts from the government on height vs. weight and see if you are in a healthy range. If you are but still feel overweight, maybe you just really need to tone up-weight bearing exercises can help with that. \n\n2. Ask yourself why you want to lose weight? The healthiest answer is for a healthier body. Don't do it to impress anyone or compete with someone else. Do it for yourself.\n\n3. Don't think of it as "diet", think "lifestyle change." Honestly, the only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume. No matter what diet book or program you use, the bottom line is calorie restriction...no matter how they package it. \nBut this doesn't mean you have to be a freak about it. Simply make some adjustments to your portion sizes, add some exercise, choose healthier foods etc... These things can add up to burning more calories than consuming-which will end in weight loss.\n\n4. To make it as simple as possible-walk for exercise, eat lots of fruits and veggies, find low calorie alternatives to your favorite, fattening meals (like pizza...which I love...yum!) and reward  yourself for goals met. Also, don't get too hung up on the numbers on the scale or the size of your pants. Try to focus on your energy level, your mood, your complection...how you feel in general. \n\n5. Start slow, don't give up (if you really are overweight) and try to make it fun. Try new hobbies, try healthier dishes, exercise with friends/family etc. \n\n6. Of course, if you may have any health problems-make sure to consult a doctor first.

I'm in the same boat that you are in.  I don't want to take pills.  I don't think that they work and to be healthy you have to do a lifestyle change.  It's hard but I bought a treadmil and I keep a log near it and I try to walk atleast half an hour a day.  I just started a couple of days ago, so I haven't lost weight yet, but I feel good.  I know the weight will start to come off soon.  I wish you the best.

Exercise and start calorie counting.  Work out your BMR and try to eat about 500 calories a day less than this.\n\nRunning is one of the best ways to lose weight, cycling, swimming, rowing are also very good.  If your not comfortable with these try dancing to your favorite music in your bedroom for an hour a day.\n\nDon't try to lose it too quickly, 2 pounds a week maximum, or your skin will not have time to adjust.\n\nGood luck.

There is a program called ShapeWorks its found on www.differentu.com and the products are all natural. There are some diet pills in the program but the best part is you personalize your own program to fit your needs. They have Nutritional shake mixes, protein bars/drinks, other snacks and things of that nature to help you lose weight. They also have a number of herbal teas that promote weight loss. I know they work because I take them and in my first week I lost 8 lbs and in one month I lost 20 lbs and thats without exercise!!! NO JOKE. So check it out and see what you think. God bless you and I wish you the best in your decision.

Try Fat Magnet. It doesn't reduce weight but binds fats in your meals. That means you need to follow some exercises as well...

I lost 143 lbs over 7 years ago and have kept it off-and I did it all naturally-no medical intervention! Since I was so overweight all I could do was walk. Forget about hardcore exercise! You need to take a 30min walk every night. Walk as fast as you can handle and move those arms! As far as food, all I did was cut out all fast food, junk food (snacks), soda and juice. Drink only water and unsweetened tea but mainly water!ALOT OF IT! Eat 5-6 times per day but very small meals. For instance here is a typical day back then for me: 6am-1 pack oatmeal and cup hot green tea. 9am- fat free cottage cheese and diced apple 12pm-chicken breast with salsa on top and piece whole grain bread 3pm-very small handful of almonds and raisins 6pm-chicken breast and small side salad with only lettuce tomatoes carrots and a fat free italian dressing. DRINK WATER THRU OUT THE DAY. If your anything like me I used to HATE water but as I made myself drink it- my body craved it! Still does! I am very proud of you for wanting to do this! As you begin to lose weight and fell better you will naturally start to change up your exercise routine as well-you will want the challenge as you begin to feel healthy and strong! At 31 years old now I feel healthier, sexier, and happier than I have ever felt in my whole life and let me tell you... I LOOK GREAT! GOOD LUCK- YOU CAN DO IT!

get Medical Professional Assistance.\n\n1200 calorie diet is very low calorie, May not assist in losing weight,m and maybe counter productive.\n\nIt is Good to keep a fit figure, but need to be done in proper healthily way.\n\nMay I propose few alternatives as you seek help from Medical Professional.\n1)  Eat Slowly,  (from French Women Don't Get Fat, see the link below),  The link from stomach and brain is very slow, thus when the stomach is full, the the signal takes some time (about few mins) before it can reacts.\n2) Cut down Sugar, hidden and visible,\nHidden, in pastry, donuts, fizzy drinks,  milk chocolate (True Chocolate lovers take their chocolate Dark or Nero, they pay for Quality Coco, don't pay for cheap sugar)\n3) Take More Fibre, Fibre fill you up, helps to reduce the sugar swing in the blood supply.\n4) Drink alot of water,m to help the body remove the waste products\n\nNote we have not come to Exercise yet.\nFind an Exercise you like, and do often, be it walking stairs climbing, Simple weights living (Think 0.5 kg weights not the tens of Kg type, and do it often,)\n\nFind Motivation, \n1) May I recommend this pod-cast Motivation to Move: see link below:\n2) get your family/Friends to encourage you. Support Group.\n\nFinally give yourself time.\nYou didn't gain 300Pd's over night, thus wouldn't lose it over night.   aim for something low, a pound a month,  Reward yourself when you achieve it, Yes Eat something nice, but in small amount.\n\nA pound a month is low, but if you are comfortable with the pace, go for abit more, two pounds, then three, Give your body time to get use to Exercise and the new eating scheme.\n\nGet Medical Assistance, losing weight fast, is dangerous for the Heart.  get Professional help.

Hey Dale Im in the same predicament I am 260 and Im only 5'8 so I need to loose about 120 pounds.  Now tomorrow I am going to begin with my diet which includes counting calories under 1200 a day but you just need to make sure you eat three healthy meals a day and dont waste them with stupid stuff like sweets or eating fast food. I dont know how much exercise you get a week but try to get some walking, jogging and if possible about 15 minutes of aerobics every other day.  Its good that you quit the soda now make sure drinking lots of water....Good luck maybe we can motivate each other Richtorres_2000 IM

I never found a single diet that worked for more than a day, often less! Only one thing ever worked for me, and I am currently maintaining a 50pound plus weight loss
