Answer 1

Losing weight first starts with being happy with yourself and loving *YOU* on the inside. Try everyday to smile and laugh, LAUGHING is supser helpful. It seems weird but it does! =) Try to follow a 1600 calorie diet.
It's best to have 5 meals a day that way you need get to hungry because that leads to over eating.
Here is a couple ideas to help you ge started:
Breakfast:
Oatmeal and a piece of wheat toast w/ 2tsp. trans free margarine. -OR- Strawberry Banana Smoothie (In a blender process until smooth, 1 small banana, 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup fat free milk, 1/2 cup low fat plain yogurt, 2 tsp. honey, and 1 or 2 ice3 cubes. You can have your smoothie with 1 or 2 pieces of whole wheat toast. -OR- An egg on a piece of wheat toast with salsa (make 2 servings) ---If you are still huingry at breakfast have a small piece of fruit.
Lunch:
1 cup soup (water based not cream base) and a Cheese and Tomato Sandwich: 2 slices whole wheat bread, 2 slices reduced fat cheese, mustard and sliced tomato. -OR_ instead of the tomato sandwich 2 pieces whole wheat with 2 slices of Turkey and Mustard. -OR- A Lean Cuisine Frozen Meal (These are actually very tasty. The meat is delicious.
Dinner: 1 piece Chicken Breast with 2 side dishes: 1 cup steamed veggies, 1 sweet potato, 3/4 cup corn, 3/4 cup butternut squash, etc.
Dessert:
Light Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt:
3/4 cup with no more than 110 calories per 1/2 cup topped with tablespoon chocalate syrup.
Snacks:
Steamed Veggies, fruit, any nuts (these are great protein),
my personal favorite snack is Light and Fit 60 calorie yogurt cup with a 100 calorie Granola Bar. (I cruch up the Granola Bar and put it inside of my yogurt.)
Also there are alot of great ideas if you go to fast food for example....

You can have any of the under 6 grams of fat sandwiches! They're delicious just No MAyo. My favorite is Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki. I like to get a foot long and have a 6' for lunch and a 6' for dinner.

Also make sure you do 30 minutes of excercise 5 days a week. I like to walk to the store and back instead of drive =)

This was just some ideas to help you on your way.

Also its great to drink one glass of water before eating. Water is very important!



GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer 2

You need different doctors.

I'm not sure why the operations would cause the weight gain that you're seeing, but there is a way to deal with it.

1)Eat a balanced diet. But don't eat too much, and don't eat junk food.
2)If you get hungry between meals, have fruits and vegetables that you can snack on. Or perhaps nuts.
3)Drink lots of water. That will keep you hydrated and fill up some of the space so you won't feel hungry.
4)Don't wolf down your food. Take your time eating. It takes your stomach about 20 minutes to notice it's full.
5)Exercise. Walking is a good low-impact exercise you can do just about anywhere.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Well, it may still be baby fat. Look at your diet and look at the way you exercise. Change one aspect of each area (i.e., for diet, maybe give up the bedtime snack if there is one or give up some definable set of calories; for exercise, pick an activity that you can do for 20-30 minutes, 2-3 times a week).

Sometimes conscious changes can inspire unconscious changes that you don't even know you're doing, but if it's a change which leads toward weight loss, that's all to the good, right? :-) At least as long as you don't drop *below* your goal weight. (I outlined once what I had done to lose weight in stages; Mom said "you did more than that"--I did. But the rest of it was unconscious.)

Answer 4

If you are concerned about your weight try changing your eating habits. Eat what you want,but less of it. If you thing that you just have to have fries. Order a small order instead of a large or regular order.
Try to become more active. It will be had at first, but try it. Just walk for 15 min a day or ride a bike. If you do not want to do those things. before bed, lay on the bed and do a few sit up and leg lifts. The weight will not come off right away, but you will feel better and clothes will fit loser before the scales show a difference.

Answer 5

Know if you need to lose weight

Health specialist use a measure called BMI, short for Body Mass Index. Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women. This gives a good measure of your total body fat. BMI compares your height and weight. It shows if you are underweight, at a healthy weight, or overweight.

You know how many pounds are there in 1 kg. Do not know let me help you, it is 1 kilogram = 2.20462262 pounds. Check out what your BMI is by using the BMI calculator.

http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/adult_BMI/english_bmi_calculator/bmi_calculator.htm

BMI Category
Below 18.5 Underweight
Between 18.5 - 24.9 Healthy Weight
Between 25 - 29.9 Overweight
Over 30 Obese


Look at the BMI chart to find out how much weight you need to lose to move from obese to overweight or from overweight into a healthy range. Knowing this can help you set a good weight loss goal.

Labels: BMI, body mass index, Healthy Weight, obese, overweight, underweight

Answer 6

If you're that big you must have some large bone mass as well.

Accept it, but make the best of it, do something athletic like the other answers, lift some weights and get strong, but do some cardio like light treadmill and bicycle in the gym.

You will find its not just size that's a factor in health, but how much you exercise. There's plenty of big people who do well on their physicals.

Answer 7

Eat 5 6 small meals a day instead of 3

In the way of ercersize it dosent matter just do something active, incorperate it in to your every day life: park far away and walk, run dont walk, bike instead of drive, stretch around the house
