This is what worked for me. My Dr. recommened The Medifast Diet. It is Soy Protein. It teaches you to eat 5-6 small meals a day every 2-3 hours to speed up your metabolism. You will lose weight quickly with very little exercise. I have lost 30 lbs. so far. If you want the number to Medifast just e-mail me at lovejae247@yahoo.com

Hey Dale Im in the same predicament I am 260 and Im only 5'8 so I need to loose about 120 pounds.  Now tomorrow I am going to begin with my diet which includes counting calories under 1200 a day but you just need to make sure you eat three healthy meals a day and dont waste them with stupid stuff like sweets or eating fast food. I dont know how much exercise you get a week but try to get some walking, jogging and if possible about 15 minutes of aerobics every other day.  Its good that you quit the soda now make sure drinking lots of water....Good luck maybe we can motivate each other Richtorres_2000 IM

I would suggest no wasting your money. The best way to lose weight and keep it off is by maintaining a healthy diet and a regular exercise routine.

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.

Eat less and exercise more. It's the only proven method that will allow you to drop the weight and keep it off in the long term. By saying eat less, I'm referring to reducing your caloric intake, not nessecarily changing what kinds of foods you eat.\n\nLast year I was 255lbs at 6'3", by cutting out lunch and afterdinner snacks and by walking more and using the stairs rather than the elevator, I lost 50lbs and have kept it off.

Please talk a doctor before trying a weight lost program.  Your goal of 25 pounds in one month is a little high. If your trying to lose weight the healthy way you should only lose 2- 3 pounds a week. That's 24-36 pounds in 3 months.  I would suggest to try to get a trainer. The reason why I suggest a trainer is because they will push you more than I' m sure you will push yourself and sometimes that's what you need. I have lost weight on my own but I got so much more from training with a trainer. They also can give you a meal plan, teach you how to breathe properly when  exercising, and also how to use the machines properly. If you can't afford a trainer go to a book store and purchase a book called The Body Sculpting Bible for Women by James Villepigue and Hugo Rivera. Its very informative it will tell how to use certain machines at the gym and how many sets you should do per exercise.  Also it will suggest a meal plan and  supplements.\n     Start out slow but please make sure you are stretching before working out for at least 5 minutes and a 5 to 10 minute warm up before your actual work out.  I don't know if you have a membership at a gym but that's what worked for me.  I would go after work and work out for and hour to two hours depending on what exercises I was doing that day. My routine was Mon. Wed. Fri. were my cardio days(running for 25 minutes on the tread, biking, walking stairs, jumping rope like a boxer, precor or elliptical machines) Pick one cardio exercise and do that for 25 minutes than do a 15 minutes of abs then 30 minutes of another cardio exercise.  On Tues and Thursdays were my weight training days. Tues was upper body and Thursday was lower body.  \n       I hope that this helps you lose the weight. Try not to give up I know its hard.   Try to eat at least 5 - 6 small meals a day. Tip: I eat my meals on saucers not an actual plate.  It helps me lower my food intake. I hope this helps.

You can't, honey. Sorry. There's really no quick fix when it comes to weight and your health.

Eat Less, be more physically active. You have to permanently alter your lifestyle or the weight will return.

LOL.. \ngood lord I was like 130 Pounds.. I'm glad that you mean 230.. you weigh the same i do.. but i'm only 5'5" I bet you look nice a curvy. \n\nremember that the slower you lose weight the more healthy it is and the longer the weight will stay off if you happen to let yourself go. \n\nEat right.. exercise every other day, DRINK LOTS OF WATER. \nI lost 40 pounds in 8 months just eating healthy food, and working out for a hour and a half every other day. with half a hour of cardio to raise my heart rate.
