It sounds like you might have some sort of emotional problem and that food is your escape. Try going to counseling. \nIf this is not the case, them maybe you need a hobby since all you do is think about food. You definitely need to change your mentality about working out. \nYou try Weight Watchers you might enjoy that programs since you are allowed to eat what you want and your not deprived. \n\nGood Luck & Stay Strong.

Won't happen. Too little time. You should've been working on that for the past year. But then again, you can always pay for liposuction or those spam crap that "guarantees" you weight loss when all they want is your money, leaving you with a placebo. Either way, there's no easy, quick solution to your dilemma. \n\nI lost 12 pounds in three weeks. All I did was cut fast food out of my diet and hit the gym every other day for two hours straight with the emphasis on cardio. Hey, no pain, no gain. No one said weight loss is supposed to be easy. I'm still working on that myself. Good luck.

I have been on a quest to lose weight and I have tried all sorts of things, but the best way is calorie counting.  Let's see if you are 200 you eat around 2640cals a day to maintain that weight.  For each lb you want to lose you have to eat 500cals less than you would daily.\n\nI'm always tring to lose weight, and i'm a chocolate addict, I bought a food journal and I've wrote in it 21days today.  I started at 197 and I'm down to 190.  Sometimes I cheat, but I still write it down.  I don't drink any kind of drinks, and I haven't since I was little.  I barely drink juice, juice the 1/2the calories oj.  But count your calories, try to snack on fruits or veggies, I must is water i drink at least 2 liter bottles a day.  This will make you not feel so hungry, I make sure I drink alot while i'm eating.  If you don't like the taste of water, use the crytral lite stuff or the fruit flavored water at walmart.  If you don't drink enough water or eat to much salt you can retain water which makes you heavier.  \n\nI bought a neoprene belt, I don't get alot of exercise so I wear it when i go grocery shopping, it makes you sweat alot around your belly, helping get rid of it.  I also made sure i had measuring cups, food scales, and I go on calorieking.com, they have a database where i search for what i'm about to eat and find out how many calories it has in it.  \n\nIn the grocery store i stopped buying the things i usually get that has the most calories.  If i don't see it in the kitchen, i don't want it.  I buy parkay spray butter, it is so yummy, it has no calories.  Wonder bread lite has only 40 calories per slice, now anytime in the store i look at the label and i think about how bad it is for me and put it back.  I have one cabinet in my kitchen that only has snack foods and nothing else.  So when i'm cooking I won't have to get anything out, I used to keep snacks on the top of the frige, that wasn't a good thing at all.  They have 100 calorie packs now, those are really yummy, but i love the "gripz" the keebler choc chip cookie kind are great, and only 120cals, they're really tiny cookies, so i eat a couple at a time and they last much longer than the 100cal packs.  \n\nA great jumpstart to a diet is the juice diet, there's celebrity juice diet and hollywood.  Hollywood you get at walmart.  Celebrity at gnc.  It's a two day diet and when i used it a few months ago i lost 6lbs.  The bottle say up to 10lbs in 2 days.  I literally shrinks your stomach, so after the two days, so can't hold as much food.  The celebrity in the orange bottle tastes best, it's like really sweet pineapple orange juice.  If you decide to do the juice diet be careful, i usually cheat on the diet a little, like a piece of toast w/no cal butter or a few crackers.  See the diet is just juice and water for two days, I usually get light headed, so i eat a little on it.  I have no will power too, so you just have to keep yourself busy where you're not thinking about food.  But both kinds of juice diets have all your vitamins and stuff, so you wouldn't have to worry about that.\n\nUmm, I've got lots of other ideas, just let me know.  Like i've said i've tried all sorts of things.  I've been an off and on dieter since i was 14 and i'm almost 22 now.  So good luck on whatever you decide.

I've tried all the diets.  They're all extremely hard to follow.  I have never been a person to eat healthy.  The methods I tried and have actually worked are diet pills and exercise.  And it helps to bet someone some money that you will lose the weight.  I know it sounds crazy.  But one year at work I bet three friends forty bucks each that I would lose 20 pounds in one month.  And I did it. I won 120 dollars and lost 20 pounds.  Motivation works.  I also lost 20 pounds from L A Weight Loss.  It's motivating to me because I go in every week and weigh in and I have to lose two pounds a week.  I'm paying a lot of money for it,  so I make sure those two pounds are gone every week.  Quick fixes never work.  So unless you have a major event to attend, you should chose the most effective route. Cut out all junk food and start exercising.  I still eat all the foods I have always ate but I eliminated ALL junk food.  Lowering your carb intake also works.  It's also important to cut down on your sugar intake.  It also help to set a goal date.  Make a commitment to yourself, make a bet to someone, and get going.

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!

Going to Subway or Quizno's can realllly help. But all of that isn't worth anything if you don't excersize. But just be sure to love yourself no matter what you look like!

Hi.  I've been battling with my weight since I was your age, I'm 21 now.  The biggest piece of advice I could offer you is to get moving.  Find some way to exercise everyday.  If you have a dog take it for a walk.  Or if you have younger siblings take them to the park and play with them.  There are so many things you can do to get moving.  And exercise is essential to weight loss.  For instance, take the stairs instead of the elevator or walk to school.  Whatever you do, though, don't do anything drastic.  Starving yourself or making yourself sick is not the way to go about getting rid of the weight.  Another thing, get support.  Talk to your parents, friends and teachers and let them know that you want to lose weight.  Get them to encourage you and help you as much as possible!\nYou can lose those pesky pounds! Good luck!

it is very tough, you are strong to just go back again.\n\nask the weight watchers leader for support, maybe there is someone near you that can help you, by either exercising together, or walking, or exchanging recipes. \n\ngood luck.

Money never comes easy, does it?  I'm also trying to raise money - although for entirely different reasons - and it's not exactly a piece of cake, even though I have a steady paycheck.  The best advice I can give you is to immediately set aside some money each month into a special savings fund for your surgery.  You can also raise additional money by selling things online (I've made about $50.00 on EBay over the past several days, which is a start), holding a garage sale, getting an extra job, or starting some kind of small business (think crafts, making jewellery, or maybe childcare).  I also know someone who makes some GREAT homemade treats (brownies and cookies) and sells them to local businesses.  Maybe you could start a program where people pay to get a pre-made casserole or dinner dish from you that they just need to warm up in the oven?  Be creative, be disciplined, and believe in yourself!  Congratulations on your weight loss - I wish you the absolute best of luck!!

Talk to your Dr. and a nutritionist for a specialized meal plan. In the mean time, eliminate fast food, fried food, sweets and candies and instead eat fruits, vegetables, fish and lean meat like turkey. That and some normal exercise like walking, will definitely help shed those pounds. \n\nBest wishes on your endeavors!\n\nDo NOT rush into heavy cardio before talking to your Dr. \nNo offense but at your weight you should have a proper check up first.

I think we always have someone that in our minds is better than us, but you gotta get that out of your head. If you wanna stay motivated, wake up every day and look at yourself in the mirror and say " Am I Happy with what i see?" if you are than theres really no reason to put you through the stress of weight loss. If your not then write down what you would like to improve and just stay to it, if you feel like your startin to break down then tell a loved one and i'm sure they will get you through it.

I would suggest going to Weight Watchers for support. They are probably the best diet and ways to get advice.

Because I don't like my self very much and when I go to the shops to buy tops ect they don't have them in my size and when they do have them in my size I have to pay more for them because of my size which is not right at all.\n\nSo I would want to lose weight to feel much better about my self.

I agree with cuz - you look healthy and probably not too overweight.  Still, you (like all of us) need to do things to stay healthy, both exercise and right diet - it's easy for two jobs to do a number on you if you don't watch out.\n\nSpecific suggestions:\n1) Pack your own lunch, and make it the night before (or make a few on the weekend) - you'll control your intake, and your budget, much better than if you find yourself rushing to some food joint that either overfeeds you or turns it out fast.\n2) Take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator whenever you have the chance.  If taking the bus or subway, get off a the next furthest stop and walk the extra 2 or 3 blocks.  If you drive and park, park at the far end of the lot (keeping your personal safety in mind, of course).\n3) Buy some very light (3 pounds or less) weights to have at home or at desk at work - do a few light stretches, curls, up-downs with them when you have the chance (and don't be self-conscious).\n4) Buy a body ball - one of those big inflated balls you see at a gym or in a physical therapists office - and a book on doing exercise with a body ball.  Keep it at home and do it while you watch TV before you go to bed.\n5) Take ONE class a week at your local gym - in either a purely aerobic class (step, spinning) or a yoga or tai chi.  This can be a very early morning or a weekend.\n6) Is there a walking club at either of your jobs?  A group of people who take a brisk 15-minute walk at lunch?  join them, or start one.\n\nThese suggestions won't take too much time or money, and you'll start to feel great and have more energy within a month.\n\nGood luck!

It sounds like you have the right idea with wanting to keep the price down.  Often people want to start working out and they spend lots of money buying equipment, and then they stop working out a week later.  Don't let anybody fool you, weights are weights... it doens't matter what brand.  If I were you, I would go to garage sales or to Wal-Mart until I found the cheapest "basic" set possible.  A bench press and leg press (like you spoke about,) will do just fine at first.  Or get a membership to a gym, and try it out for a month or two before you buy any equipment (make sure you go to a gym that does NOT make you sign a contract) They do that because they know the majority of people stop working out after a week, and then you're stuck making payments to them for a year.  After you've worked out for a while then, maybe go get a weight set with all of the features on it.  I think you'll do just fine.  Keep up the motivation and remember that it takes time.
