Cut all carbs and sugar. Only eat steamed or raw veggies and canned chicken or tuna (packed in water) and swim your butt off. You can do it!!!

Hi Niecy
Just to let you know I also have asthma and I lost 30 pounds in 2 months or about 3.75 pounds a week.
It was simple, I traded 2 meals a day for a Meal Replacement Shake, took a multi-vitamin 3 times a day, drank lots of green tea and ate 1 healthy meal a day.
Not only did I lose the weight, but I feel better than ever and have not had an asthma attack in over 2 years. I believe this is because I lost the weight AND because of the really great nutrition I get from the shakes.

What is your age???
You can lose the desired weight or even more.
Any way follow some tips to work for entire of your life.
Good luck.
Generally you gain weight because of fats deposits, just dissolve them. How?
People go for losing weight by pills or starving.
Pills do not act effectively and for longer durations. Pills have many side effects for your health.
Starving weakens you and your defense system is also weakened. This makes you less resistant against infactions and other diseases.
The best way is to lose weight by change of diet and your physical activities.
1. Reduce or stop to take oils and fats.
2. Stop taking sugar and glucose. (Mainly tea, coffee & cold drinks.
3. Stop taking potato, rice.
4. Reduce wheat and corn as much as possible.
Take vegitables, boiled meat, fruits (even sweet).
And at the top of all:
Walk at least 40 to 60 minutes twice a day, once early in the morning (better before sun rises).
For you asthma I will recomand you to shift in an area of dry weather and barren lands. Of course it should not be dusty.
You will start losing weight to the extent of daily difference.

keep swimming and get your asthma in control instead of letting it control you. to lose a lot of weight the healthy way, you need to exercise...swimming, walking, pilates, resistance training, etc. i know of asthmatics who run miles a day and can do most of their favorite activities. you need to eat a rainbow of fruits, vegies, and berries, lean meats, soy products, low/nonfat dairy products. eat 3 reasonable meals a day along with 3 mini snacks to keep your metabolism revving. it takes time to lose weight. start a healthy lifestyle and everything will fall into place.
