The main thing is willpower. Also, surrounding yourself with all the right food!! So if your gonna pick and snack at stuff.. at LEAST it ll be healthy food.There s a whole method of doing so. By consuming about 1500-1800 calories a day..exercising for a good 30+ mins a day. Every 3500 calories you burn, you will lose 1lbs. So if you consume 1700 calories today, and your body burned 2700 calories (from everyday living as well as the exercise you didi) your deficit will be 1000 calories. Do this everyday and you will lose 2lbs a week. Of course, that s 8-10lbs a month. It can be done.. Ive done it. I lost 60lbs within 9 months :)Best thing is to learn all you can.. gain the will power and desire.. and you will be on your way to a healthy lifestyle.Please check out the website in the source. It helped me out SO much and will teach you anything you need to know!
I was 400+ 5 years ago.... got tired of it (clothes expensive! $500 month on food! eek!)Your first step should be to see a doctor. If you go out and start exercising right now, you could suffer some serious conditions up to heart attack and stroke. Talk to the doc, he or she will refer you to a dietician. You really have to want to lose the weight. Don t bother with those expensive FAD diet plans, weightwatchers, etc. all junk. waste of money.Go see a doctor.... make the right descision for yourself.CYA on the good side of 200 lbs!!

burn more calories than you consume. It s very simple. Up the exercises, down the eating.
Below is my home-made diet, it s not a fad diet or a crash diet at all.=)Do not make a high goal, first of all. It s a health risk to lose more than 3 pounds a week and can decrease your confidence. Besides, that much in a week would probably be water weight, which comes right back.Try taking a walk for 30 minutes a day, adding 10 minutes each week. Once you get up to an hour long walk, start biking or jogging for 20 minutes a day, adding on minutes once again. By the time you are biking or jogging for an hour a day, just keep at it and you ll keep losing.If your weight doesn t move, don t sweat it. It s because you are gaining muscle mass and losing fat at the same time. Did you know muscle weighs DOUBLE that of fat while taking up the same amount of space? It does! If you feel really bad about your weight not changing though, do some mesurments. They will probably be lower numbers.Remember to EAT YOUR BREAKFAST. Eating Breakfast will reduce your hunger and increase your energy throughout the day. You should have a large breakfast, smaller lunch, and light dinner. Or you can have multiple small meals throughout the day. Avoid snacking at night (after 9 PM), and when you really want junk food, eat a half serving and substitute the other half with a fruit or veggie. Make sure you drink water too, it s helpful in losing weight faster. Be sure to lay off soda...it s high in cals.------------------------------The types of things to watch out for:-High-sodium foods; they make you retain water. If you are outside sweating tons, it is great for you, but if you are indoors in the AC, don t go nuts eating it. It does make you gain weight when you retain too much water, it also makes you chubbier.-High saturated fat and trans-fat foods; too much of this stuff can put you at risk for heart disease and make your BAD cholesterol shoot up significantly.------------------------------The types of things to go ahead and gobble:-Foods with monounsaturated fats; These lower total cholesterol and bad cholesterol while raising the good cholesterol.=)-Foods with polyunsaturated fats: These do the same thing, though they will not raise good cholesterol.-Fiber; this is a natural laxitive and is good for weight loss. It doesn t make you puke, though. It just helps out your metobolism/digestion.;)------------------------------Best foods to eat:-Boneless, skinless chicken-Salmon-Tuna in water-London broil-Filet Mingon-Lean ground beef-Fat-free milk-Soy milk-Whole milk from a local farm-Water-Vitiman water-Fat-free Yogurt-Oragnic fruits veggies-Salad-Unsalted nuts in small amounts-Extra-virgin olive oil-Safflower oil-Sunflower oil-Fish oil-Canola oil-Natural peanut butter-Whole wheat bread-12-grain bread-Oatmeal-Egg whites-Provolone cheese (best from a local farm)-Cereal (Grape nuts, Raisin Bran, Total, Smart Start, Crispex)-Frozen Yogurt if you re craving Ice cream-Rice-Wheat thins-Triscuts-Soy crisps-Fig nutons------------------------------The worst foods to eat:-FAST FOOD (Trans fat heaven!)-Non-lean meats-Hot dogs-Breading-French fries-Microwave pop corn-T.V. dinners-Pre-packaged foods-Vegetable shortening-Vegetable oil-Margarine-Palm oil-Palm kernal oil-Diet foods-Sugar or high-salt cereal (i.e. Rice crispies, Fruit loops, Coca puffs, Cookie crisp, etc.)-Mayo (have miracle whip or mustard instead)-Ice cream (have frozen yogurt instead)-Potato chips (have soy crisps or wheat thins instead)------------------------------You can find good, healthy recipes at www.recipezaar.com, www.innerself.com/recipes, and http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/healthy�� for recipies, you can search for low fat, high protein, low carbs, etc. I listed a few recipies below that I thought were yummy.-http://www.recipezaar.com/170046......-http://www.recipezaar.com/52955......-http://www.recipezaar.com/111174......-http://www.recipezaar.com/28681......-http://www.recipezaar.com/160982......-http://www.recipezaar.com/158950......-http://www.recipezaar.com/59366......-http://www.innerself.com/recipes/salads/��-http://innerself.com/recipes/desserts/fr��-http://innerself.com/recipes/entrees/gin��-http://innerself.com/recipes/tofu/tofu-c��-http://innerself.com/recipes/dips/chedda��-http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/healthy��-http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/healthy��-http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/healthy��-http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/healthy��-http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/healthy��-http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/healthy��------------------------------That s how I lost 85 pounds of fat and gained 20 pounds of muscle in 6.5 months.
