These are all good suggestions, but may I without being mean suggest you get off the computer and walk to a local library to look up exercise and fitness information.  Also, your doctor should be the only person giving you advice on your ideal weight as they are the only people who know your total health history which needs to be taken into account.

He will check to see if your weight problem is medically related? (i.e. thyroid or something else) a medicine you are taking? menopause (if that is your age? In other words, he/she will first determine that your weight gain is not caused by a medical problem. \n\nOnce they determine it is not; then they will discuss diffrent options with you (and it will depend on your insurance/personal needs/willpower - in other words it is TERRIBLY important that you be super honest with the doctor - prepare for that appointment by taking with you start an honest/down to earth log of your daily intake (don't count calories,etc...just write it down).  The log should include, at a minimum, date/time of day, what you eat/drink (how much) - snacks - candy - gum - smoke- exercise if you don't, then go ahead and write it down!  Doctor cannot discuss options with you on how to solve this problem if he doesn't understand your lifestyle.  \n\nOptions could be anything from: prescribing meds to help you reduce weight and watch you closely - especially if you are so overweight that it could lead to heart disease or diabetes.....if the overweight is not bad, then he would refer you to a Dietician and/or nutritionist and recommend increased activity --- starting you off slow and easy -- maybe even low impact, like pool aerobics, walking, etc.\n\nYou are wise to want to go to the doctor to help you.  Weight gain is not just because of lifestyle...so need to know it isn't something else.

I have many a dr visit under my belt and its been my experience that, drs are so overburdened with patients and ailments that they like to concentrate on one ailment at a time [usually the most life threatenting first] then what they consider the least life threating.. and sometimes I would think that this dr is not helping me but in fact this dr was giving me room to help myself also along with the meds or therapy etc. so if i didnt do my part i felt i wasnt being helped.  like my legs, knees, feet hurt so very bad that i thought  this is serious, well it is because i was 200 lbs overweight, hence loose the weight and help yourself and so on.\nby the way since i was so overweight i immediately had attitude towards any dr i went to and i didnt feel better till i took off the weight.  i had legitimate complaints but it was a lot of my own doing.

You definitely want to see a doctor, but not a narrow specialist in SUCH kind of a problem. The most likely one is a physician in a local ambulatory center. But if you have a relative in this area, it's even better. Don't be too shy. Keep in mind that this is about your future. Be brave! Let God bless you with a good health!!!
