Three things to help you lose weight
Positive attitude. Without it you will end up quitting doing something and feel worse.
Cut calories. Look at what you are eating, make the portions smaller so that you are taking in a smaller amount of calories. Make your daily range about 1000-1300 calories. That will still allow you to eat everything you like, but also help you lose weight.
Exercise. This can be easier than it sounds. If you walk for half an hour continuously then you end up burning about 130 calories. That's just walking. If you do anything that gets your heart pounding for an extended period of time (anything between 5-20 minutes) and makes you sweat then you are working your body.
Even standing up straight is enough of a work out on your back and stomach muscles to give you that extra boost in the middle of the day.
Just remember that everything takes time and there is no fast way to get any of this done. If someone says otherwise then they are selling something.
Keep your chin up, and your hopes high. You can do this and don't let anyone say otherwise. I hope everything goes well for you.

I feel your pain. Really. I completly understand. But anyways, I suggest jazzersize. Its SO easy, and the weight just starts to melt off. Also, walking. Its the easiest workout, all you need are some shoes and your perfect! Just by cutting 500 calories (Maybe...dont drink soda, try only fruits) and burning 500 calories, thats already 100 calories youve lost! Do that times 7, thats 7000 calories a week, 2 pounds!

Sweet girl, get away from all sugars, pasta, potatoes rice and white breads. And don't panic. There are lots of good things out there that are sugar free, including CHOCOLATE. Exercise. Just plain walking will help a lot. Eat lots of veggies fruits and nuts, And relax. Stress can cause overeating, among other bad things. Good luck

keep exercising, stay away from sweets,sodas, excessive salt amounts. I know what you are going through about the depo shot I've gone through the same thing, the best thing for you to do is to exercise at a pace that is good for you, and try to eat healthy.

hi im morgan and i have a suggestion. i think that you should start slowly with your diet. you should start by limiting the stuff you really like(but you know is not good for you). then when you get goin with that, you should start limiting alot of other stuff. excercising is good to do while you diet.
