try running, seams to burn more then walking, I know some people clam walking works just as good but they all seam to be large people.  you can also go to any store (most big box sores will have this) and go to there exercise equipment area then look for an abb wheel, its just a small wheel with a bar threw it.  use that, your tummy will be flat in no time.  It should run you around $10 or so, put a pillow or other padding down for you knees or they will not like it lol.

Find a place to do it supervised. It is a lot of weight in a short time. I would see a doctor first and check what you need to look at, and get checked while loosing weight.\nYou want to stay healthy, don't you?

Same here... I've been losing weight by making some easy changes.\n\n• Don't skip meals (this one is important)\n• Drink lots of water\n• Don't eat too late (basically, don't snack before bedtime)\n• Find good ways to deal with a sweet tooth- I've learned to drink a diet A&W root beer to help with mine!\n• Exercise- this one is pretty obvious. Just fit it in whenever/wherever you can, because every bit counts.\n\nAlso, because your weight gain has occurred relative to a change in your life (going overseas) look at what the actual culprit is. What has changed in your diet/nutrition/lifestyle since you have been there? \n\nGood luck.

Join weight watchers, it worked for me!  I lost more than that, and I have not gained any of it back.

Well I've tried some of the stuff and finally i realised that there is nothing better than doing a proper exercise routine and managing your diet. You will feel fit and healthy if you follow a good routine of exercise and get good sleep. I also have tried drinking plenty of water and it helps in loosing weight.

I bet you aren't eating properly.  Adjust your diet so you always have fuel for your body to burn.  Stay away from sugar.

It's great you are excerising. But you ahve to balance it out with a healthy diet too. Cut out fast foods, fat, friends foods. Eat lean chicken, fruits and salads. Drink water, flavored water with no calories not sodas

It sounds like you are pretty active, so my advice would be to try and reduce calories, depending on what your caloric intake is at.  About how many calories do you consume?  Try to get down to 1500 for weight loss.  That's the only advice I have.  I know it can be discouraging.  I started last January to improve my health and lost 25 pounds by May.  But now, 1 year later, I haven't lost the last 25 I need to be closer to my ideal (I started really heavy).  Good luck, keep up the good work, and remember your health is improving even when the weight isn't always where you want it!

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

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.

How long is a while and how much weight have you gained?  What kind of exercise are you doing?  How many calories are you eating?\n\nIf you've recently started weight training, you are likely retaining water weight in your muscles.  This tends to drop after 6 - 8 weeks of weight training.\n\nIt's also possible that you aren't eating enough calories or are eating too many calories.  I recommend the BMR/RMR and activity calculators at http://www.caloriesperhour.com  They are helpful for figuring out how many calories you should be eating.\n\nAnother good website is http://www.sparkpeople.com  You can plan meals, journal your eating, plan and journal your exercise, set and track goals.  It's a free website.

1300 calories isn't nearly enough to sustain your weight.  You need to eat MORE to lose weight.  Your body thinks it's starving, so it's reserving all the calories you do give it.\n\nYou should make an appointment with a nutritionist.\n\nGood luck, and great job so far!

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! :)

Cutting down on caloric intake and exercising should help.  It will be slow - but take it on slowly and it will eventually show great results.  : )
