I have finally gotten serious about loosing weight and getting into good shape. I am obease (BMI at aprox. 43) and I worry about my health. I am currentl waiting to get in to see a doctor to get refered to a nutritionist but in the mean time I'm going for walks and going to the gym to work out when I can afford it.
My main problem is I am a habitual eater. I am ADHD and so I get distracted very easily and every time I do I go for food. I have recentally quit smoking (6 months and counting!) so I worry about turning back to smoking to distract myself.
I would greatly appreciate any tips to help me along.

I do not eat any meat other then fish and occasionally chicken.
I also grew up in an area where pasta is an almost every day meal. Dose anyone have some easy to make recipes? You can e-mail them to lindzyrae@hotmail.com

Make sure you make time for breakfast. It should be the biggest meal of the day. Snack three times a day on things like carrots, apples, celery. Drink water. If you feel hungry and you've already had your meal or your snack water will make you feel full. If you don't like water then try other non-caffeine, non-carbonated beverages.
You could also do 2 minutes of sit ups and push ups a day. That's 4 minutes of excercise a day that'll show you plenty of results.
If you like to walk or run...a 1/2 hour a day...even better

You might think about trying this book called "The Movie Star Diet" by Steve Simmons. It helped me lose thirty pounds in 2 1/2 months when I didn't think anything would work. My goal to begin with was only 20 lbs! It has a really easy plan to follow and an excellent workout as well.

Diets are okay and everything, but they can decrease your metabolism, causing your body to conserve fat. What you really need is some long, slow aerobic exercise. Go for at least 12-15 minutes or more per day, and don't stop doing this once you get rid of the weight you want to get rid of. Another thing to keep in mind is that weight isn’t really the problem; fat is the problem. Weight and fat are NOT the same thing. Muscle actually weighs almost 7 times as much as fat. So don’t pay too much attention to your weight; instead pay attention to how thin you look and how good you feel.
I recommend reading the book "Fit or Fat" by Covert Bailey

Natural & Healthy is the way to go. I just recently discovered a natural & healthy way to gain energy and lose weight that's even safe for people with diabetes. I implemented an anti-oxidant juice, a healthy energy drink (that only cost $1.oo per serving), and a simple and great “No Diet Weight Loss Plan” into my life. I feel 100% better and have a ton of more energy than I have ever had and I have lost 2 1/2" in my waist and I have lost 22 pounds (29 more to go) in only the last 30 days. What’s incredible (honestly) is that I did not diet (that’s boring), eat special foods (that cost extra money), skip meals (that makes your stomach growl), or even exercise (as I can not because of disc damage in my lower back). I have been told that I can not send a web link through this service but if you would like e-mail me or IM me from my profile and I will point you to the web site and to the products that have changed my life and vastly improved my health

I have a relitive that is very over weight and he has diabetes. I try to help him as much as I can but he isn't very motivated. What I tell him is to walk at least 5 times a day, for at least 20 min.
Try to stay away from pasta and bread, and eat lots of vegtables and less meat.
I really do hope everything works out for you!!
