If you are that overweight, talk to your doctor. You are prob a good canidate for gastric bypass or the lap band. Insurance should cover it if it is truly a medical necessity.

Stop eating junk, switch to raw vegitables and salads (they are not more expensive than chips and fast food. Drink tons of water - like 2 gallons/day. Then exercise, slow at first just walk around your home or block and do some partial sittups. Do that for the fist week then start walking faster and increase your activity each week. Also doing your exercises first thing in the morning will keep you from writing it off as being too busy later in the day. If you ave to wake up earlier (I have to get up at 5am to do it). All of those things don't cost any more than you are spending now. However, the cheapest and most important thing, but it is also the most difficult is.... the determination and will power to stay with the program.

APPETITE
Blood sugar imbalances are often prompted by chronic mineral deficiencies. The vast majority of people living in industrialized nations suffer from deficiencies in major minerals like zinc, magnesium and selenium, and in other nutrients. The brain, sensing these deficiencies, sends the signal to keep eating until the needed minerals are acquired, but since most modern processed foods are virtually devoid of these minerals, a person will never achieve the necessary mineralization consumption, no matter how much food they eat.
That's one reason why people can eat enormous quantities of processed or manufactured foods and still feel hungry. Their body is not receiving the proper hormonal "full" signals due to the absence of minerals necessary for normal blood sugar metabolism and hormone balance.
According to recent studies conducted by the Pritikin Longevity Center, diabetes starts from too much fat in the diet and insufficient exercise, not malfunction of the pancreas as previously thought. The pancreas continues to produce insulin when you have diabetes but the body becomes insulin resistant. Research has shown that over 90% of diabetes cases can be TOTALLY CORRECTED with diet and exercise. That means that you don't have to have limbs removed due to diabetes-induced gangrene. You don't have to go blind or suffer cardiovascular abnormalities because of diabetes. You can actually REVERSE some of these conditions with diet (nutrition, not weight loss) and exercise, and the removal of parasites and candida.

Best of luck.

there is a website for people that are trying to lose weight, that is free. They just encourage each other, by finding people with the same goals, and asking each other for tips and advice. I belong to this group and I love it. It's called www.buddyslim.com It's worth it to check it out!

No problem. Tomorrow, begin eating 1/2 as much as you have been. You will begin to loose weight within a week.
Good luck. Pops

You really need to see a dietician or be under the care of a doctor for that amount of weight loss.

count carbs , cut back on saturated & trans fat . eat 6 times a day (sounds stupid but it's true) . main meal 45-60 carbs (max 75) snack <15 carbs. bear in mind an 8-oz glass of milk is 13 carbs , a same size glass of juice is near 30 (& don't drink juice from concentrate ,it has more sugar/carbs).

weight loss, real weight loss- long term, keep it off forever weight loss, is less about diet and exercise (which you will have to do) and more about mental focus.
