I've lost a lot of weight the old fashion way: Diet and exercise. I try to eat a lot of protein, good carbs, fruits and vegetables. I eat a lot of cottage cheese, fish, lean chicken and turkey, apples, oranges, carrots, egg whites, lettuce, and broccoli. I don't drink soda anymore, lots of water. I also exercise daily and rotate between strengh training and cardio.
I still have 30 lbs to go, but I've lost 50 lbs over many months.

What you can do is watch your food portions. Don't stop eating until your buttons start popping out. Stop when your about 85 or 70 % full. Try to cut out sodas and the sweet stuff out completely. And just be more physically active. Walking for 30 minutes or so is a good idea. If you can loose snacking - even better but I suggest you do things gradually and give your body time to adjust to changes.

First: EAT RIGHT
Here's what I do. It's a healthy, easy way to get a balanced diet. You don't have to do without anything, so you don't feel like you're depriving yourself.

Breakfast: 1 egg,1 whole grain toast, fruit (orange/apple/banana...)

Lunch: protein (fish/chicken/beef/pork), starch (potato, sweet potato, rice...), two cups of vegetable(s)

Dinner: same as Lunch

Snack: smoothie made with 1-1/2 cup milk, FRUIT, Splenda, ice cubes combined in blender

I buy easy to prepare foods in quantity at Costco:
- large bags of individually wrapped meats (and prepare them on a small Foreman grill which will cook a frozen piece of meat in 3-8 minutes, depending on its size and denseness).
-large bags of deluxe (not cheap) fresh frozen vegetables, mixed or veggies that I especially like, such as asparagus. (Measure out two cups per person and cook on stovetop or in microwave, avoiding overcooking.)

Second: GET MOVING
Start walking and build up to 30 minutes per day at moderate speed.

These things take time. Once you get started, you'll feel better. You must be patient and have reasonable expectations in terms of how soon you'll see weight loss. This will help you to be stronger and healthier.

BTW, adolescent girls who eat breakfast do better with their weight than those who skip meals. This is because when you "break the fast" when you wake and eat, it gets your system working. Then you have to eat more every four hours-- especially the protein which lasts longer and keeps you from feeling hungry--to keep your digestive system going efficiently.

Perhaps you need to talk to a counselor if you have stressors that are contributing to your weight gain.

There's a group called Overeaters Anonymous that is very supportive and FREE
