I don't understand, you weighed 369lbs and now your at 250lbs. That is fantastic weight loss.  Why are you an invalid?  What can't you do at 250?  It sounds like you have plateaued. Meaning no matter what you do you cant loose any more weight.  That might be only temporary Your body is adjusting and you don't want your Body to start thinking it is starving.  Can you get to a pool?  Water exercises even just walking in it can really keep the calories burning and save your joints.  You might go to an allergist and see if you have an allergy to any of the food you eat.  Many obese people have allergies to wheat and or corn.  Once they stop eating the foods that are allergens they began to loose weight.  You have done a great thing loosing all that weight. Don't give up.

It always takes a long time to loose the last bit of weight. Just keep at it. It is also possible the weight you are at is the right one for you.

Be very conscience of your salt intake and drink lots of water.  Ask Doc when it is safe to start exercising again and try to get back into it as soon as possible.

Talk to your doctor. See if s/he can recommend a nutritionist and a physiotherapist who can help you with diet and low impact exercise.

i feel that losing 2-3 lbs. each week is a healthy range. if you are overweight, it is easier the first week when you do it, you will lose more weight that week than any other week. \na plan that worked for me was: \n\nfind your daily caloric intake(how many calories you should consume depending on your height and weight) \n\nrecord everything you eat and how many calories it has in it\n\nif you excersize, record how many calories you burned\n\nat the end of the day, subtract the calories that you ate from your daily caloric intake, and add how many you burned to the difference. for ex: if my daily caloric intake was 1800, and i ate 1500, so i burned 300. then say i burned 250 from excersizing. i would add that to the 300, which gives me 550. \n\nthat will tell you how many calories your body burned that day.\n\nyou should be aiming for burning 500 calories each day.\n\nalso drink a lot of water.\n\nyou might not lose as much as you want, but if you stick to it, it will keep working.\n\nhope this helps!

You didn't put all the weight on in two weeks, it's not going to come off in two weeks. Diets rarely ever work for the long haul.  You need to incorporate healthy lifestyle changes into your life.  I speak from experience.  It took me 34 years to reach 250 pounds, and it is coming off slowly but surely because I made some of the following changes:\n\nDrink LOTS of water- it's natural, it feels you up, gives you energy, helps your skin, and helps you lose weight.\n\nAdd walking every day- walk to the store, take a before work walk and watch the sun come up, or an after dinner walk and enjoy the sights and sound, take the stairs instead of the elevator for one or two flights, etc.  Little changes do make a difference\n\nKeep a food journal- log everything you eat for a week, even if it's something as small as a tic tac.  You will be surprised at what all it is and it will help you see where your problem areas lie, then work to change it.  Make small changes at first- No seconds on dessert, one scoop of icecream instead of two, add some veggies with your meat dish, nix the mayo on the burger, then add more changes the following week, then more the next, etc. start slow so it doesn't seem like you are depriving yourself, and make changes that you know you can stick with.  And if you slip up and have a bad day, don't stress, just get back on the wagon and keep going. Don't fall for the fad diets either.  They hurt in the long run, more than they help.

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

It might sound weird, but maybe you're not eating enough. You're doing a lot of exercise and burning a lot of calories, which is AWESOME. I know that in order for me to lose weight when I exercise a lot, I have to eat my activity points (on Weight Watchers). I've lost 50 pounds on it. I hit a plateau as soon as I lost 20 pounds as started exercising. I couldn't understand it...why am I exercising like crazy and not losing weight? I started eating my activity points and the weight just started dropping off. I mean, like, instantly. I lost about 8 pounds in two weeks once I started eating a little more each day that I worked out. I think it has to do with your body going into a starvation mode because it's losing so many calories. If you have any other questions about it, I suggest you check out the LJ forum that I post on. It's full of helpful weight loss tips. Here's the link... http://community.livejournal.com/_weightwatchers/ Good luck! :)

Try going to the Weight Loss forum at About.com.  It's a wonderful group of people spanning all ages and following all different eating plans, some with great success and others struggling.  Some are just starting, some can't get their act together and others have been at their goal weights for years.\n\nI found the forum shortly after beginning a 70 lb. weight-loss journey and know I wouldn't have succeeded with either my loss or 2 year maintenance without that group of wonderful people.  Everyone will support you plus you'll find all kinds of motivation, advice and tips.  In some cases people do buddy-up.\n\nGo to...  http://forums.about.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?listMode=6&nav=messages&webtag=ab-weightloss

Do you eat sugar?   If so, stop........the pounds will drop.  Are you active?  If not.......get active.  \n\nIf you do not see a difference in one week or even 2 days.  I'll eat my words.

You can't do that and be healthy.  Most of the weight you lost would have to be water weight and you'd put that right back on.  Good for you for not smoking, but now you need to start exercising.  Try setting smaller goals.

Do what your trainer says. Fast weight loss IS NOT GOOD FOR YOUR BODY, and see a nutritionist too.

Losing 25 pounds in 2 months isn't healthy.  You should lose 1-2 pounds a week to do it in a healthy way and have better luck keeping it off.  Eat healthy foods...stuff that's not processed...the more it's processed, the more crap that is put in your body that you don't need.  As far as exercise, shoot for 1 hour a day 5-6 days a week and I was always told by a personal trainer that to lose weight steadily, you need to walk 3 miles a day..that should take about 45 minutes, or that should be your target anyways.  Also, do some weight training..there's all sorts of things to do there.  Your best bet is to join a gym and use their equipment and most gyms have people there that will show you how to use the equipment and give you advice on how to do it.
