I'm 5'2 and weigh 200 lbs today.I'm so depressed and I know what I've done to myself is no fault but my own.I know I need to start intense and regular exercise and cut out soft drinks completely.I would be grateful for any futher suggestions.Also ,I have developed a habit of taking aprox.40 over the counter sleeping pills a night for 6 hours of sleep for my next day.Might that slow down my metabolsim (sic)?Let this be a warning to the young and reckless...your bad habits WILL CATCH UP WITH YOU!!

It will really help if you cut down on sugar completely. Therefore, if u MUST eat or drink sweets try using sugar free, diet sugar, try diet pepsi, diet coke, diet orange soda, diet iced tea. Also, try replacing regular bread with 100% whole weat bread, it will keep u filled for a longer period. Try no ordering food or eating out, try cooking your own food. When you decide to cook try not using too much oil or butter. Try replacing carbs which u find in bread, rice ext and replace it with proteins. You may find proteins in chicken, tuna fish. Another very important thing, try eating every 4 hours, dont eat a lot and then eat after 8 hours. Try eating and save room for 4 hours later, dont eat every 30 mins its not good. Hope this can be helpful, ohh and try exercises, it is very important and why, well because when you lose weight u wont just lose fat but also muscle. You will have extra skin and you will become flacid. This is why u can try doing some situps 5 -10 mins a day. YES THATS ALL 10 MINS A DAY. It sounds easy but its not BUT its only 10 mins. BY the way, i used to be very heavy when i was a kid until i was 15, i was 5'5 and weighted 250 pounds. Today i weight 180 and i am fit, i know how it feels and is just a habit, try changing it, try a hobby, keep your miind out of food, good luck

well by far, the most effective way is to eat right & exercise. i myself would like to lose weight too. so far i've lost 6 kg and feel a whole lot better but i still need to lose more weight.
i've tried slimming lotions, pills... but they dont last long, the most important is ur diet. keep ur carbs low and take more fruits & vegetables. of cuz, you haf to exercise regularly. try jogging in the morning or evening ( see which suits ur timing ). and do it twice a week for a start & when ur comfortable with it, make it 3 or 4 times a week. good luck in ur healthy weight lost =)

I tried 100% Hoodia and......
Hoodia has worked for me...and with no side effects.
Check with your doctor before starting any weight loss program.
For all you doubters, here is the prior feedback for another Answers user who followed my advice:

**** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF ---
#1. Be sure you are buying pure Hoodia...look for the import certificate on the website. No matter the price, if they do not display this, you really do NOT know what you are getting!
#2. Be sure it is 100% Hoodia & not mixed w/other herbs, etc.!!
#3. Keep in mind it stops your hunger pangs…you MUST remember to break your habit to always eat at certain times.
#4. Drink a full 8oz. glass of water with it!
Hoodia (HOOD-ee-uh) gordonii - A genus of 10 to 20 species from southwestern Africa.
Hoodia gordonii is the stoneage wonder plant found throughout the dry arid regions of the South western African continent now on the verge of making history in the fight against obesity. It is a genus belonging to the Asclepiadaceae family which consists of approximately 20 species. Used to stop hunger, quench thirst, and provide energy among other things since prehistoric times, Hoodia gordonii was first discovered by the San tribesmen and women to get through the most difficult of times.
