How tall are you? As far as I'm concerned, 111 is a fine weight.\n\nOh boy, you're right. You do need help! But not the kind you think.

I'm a registed dietitian, so I may be able to help.  First of all, most of the diets and diet pills out there DO NOT work.  They promise a quick fix, but like the old saying goes "if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is".\nI would recommend you stop eating anything that contains refined sugars (read food labels carefully for sugar and corn syrup ingredients).  Increase your fiber intake (with fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains) and start a low-impact exercise program.  Because of your weight you may not be able to do a lot at first, and that's fine, don't push yourself, but as you continue your tolerance for exercise will build up and you'll be able to do more. \nEmail me if you want more help with your plan.

There isn't always an easy way out, bub. You gotta work hard for those you want to acheive. If there was an easy way to lose weight, do you think everyone's still gonna be fat? lol.

Its true that you have to stick to a diet plan but sometimes your body works differently than the norm. You can try keeping a diary for a while of how much and what you eat as well as how much you exercised. Then if you still can't figure it out go see an endocrinologist and bring your diary. They can tell you if you have a thyroid problem or some other problem that is keeping you from taking off the pounds.

Ab lounge, sit-up, walking. Eat right and limit your portions. You might get better answers if you would have put this in health/fitness type of catagory. Good Luck:)\n\nIf at first you don't succeed, try again. Don't give up. You didn't gain it overnight and you won't lose it overnight.

I think you are active, but you must watch the simple foods you eat.  No butter on your toast.  No cream in your coffee.  Switch to skim milk.  Don't eat popcorn at the movie theater.  (Bring low-fat popcorn with you).  Don't use mayonnaise unless its fat-free.  Same with salad dressing.  Don't drink pop unless its diet.  Its really those simply things that add up.  Eat low-fat meals.  That doesn't mean you have to starve.  Don't eat out.  There is nothing healthy in restaurants.  Its very hard to pick unless you are very disciplined.  I lost 70 pounds and I ate bread, rice and never drank eight glasses of water.  I drank when I was thirsty.  You just make daily meal plans and excercise plans stick to it.

Do you eat sugar?   If so, stop........the pounds will drop.  Are you active?  If not.......get active.  \n\nIf you do not see a difference in one week or even 2 days.  I'll eat my words.

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!

Congratulations on that 26 pound loss!!!  You are at a plateau.  The only way to break the plateau is to further alter your diet and change your workout.  You have to workout even harder than before.  If that doesn't work for you then I would suggest seeing the Dr.  I'm in the same boat right now.  Just have to decide if I really WANT to know what is wrong with me.  My personal trainer told me that there isn't anything more he can do for me and see the doctor for a full physical workup.  I fired him.

but you haven't lost any pounds? maybe you've put on muscle *which weighs more than fat* \nmaybe you should change your bet to who can lose the most inches because thats really all that counts.. isn't it? Its what makes you skinnier.

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.

Sweetie, I understand your pain. And maintaining a healthy weight is a good thing. But try not to pin your hopes for how the next year is going to go by how much weight you can lose. You only set yourself up for disappointment that way.\n\nThat being said, we all know that the way the body loses weight is when we consume fewer calories than we burn. See your doctor or another trusted adult and set yourself a healthy goal. If you're out of school now, you should have plenty of time to exercise (unless you have a job, but you still need to find the time). \n\nPick a sport or an exercise that you enjoy. Swimming is one of the best ones you can do - it's low impact, helps develop those beautiful long muscles, and burns a TON of calories. I'm talking about lap swimming, now, not splashing in the pool with your friends. Although that would be far better than nothing. Exercise 3 days on, 1 day off, 2 days on, 1 day off. You have to give your body a chance to recover or you'll hurt yourself. When you exercise, go for 30 - 60 minutes at a time, but again, don't overdo. It's also perfectly acceptable to exercise for a short time several times a day. The point is to burn the calories.\n\nAfter you get your exercise routine down, you need to look at what you eat. Write down everything you eat every day for a week. Include everything, even a stick of gum. Also, write down the time you ate it and what you were doing at the time. This should give you an idea of how healthy your diet is. Do some research on the internet for healthy eating, and plan accordingly. You should eat at least 1500 to 1700 calories per day - again, ask a trusted adult and DO YOUR RESEARCH on this part. You DO NOT want to get sick.\n\nContinue logging your meals and exercise, and be sure to take a daily multivitamin and drink at least 8, 8 oz glasses of water every day. It may seem like a lot, but think of it as a way of flushing the fat out of your system. Depending on how much weight you have to lose, add another glass for every extra 25 pounds. \n\nRemember, this has to be a lifestyle change for it to be really effective. Good luck!

you might have to revise your diet plan maybe. keeping your calories too far down will keep your body from losing fat as it is trying to preserve everything you take in. try eating more protein to build your muscle. vary your exercises. your body will get used to a routine quickly. by alternating exercises it always has to work and keep up to speed.

Exercise. Eat healthy. It's not that complicated. What's hard is creating a new lifestyle for yourself, which you can keep doing and won't relapse into old habits.\n\nTake a walk every morning. (Or evening.) Drink water instead of soda or other beverages. Cut back on your portion size. Try going to a gym or getting some regular exercise.\n\nAnd be patient. You didn't get fat overnight. You aren't going to become thin overnight either.
