Try eating more fruits and veggies in place of other fatty meals, like junk food, cookies, or high calorie meals. Like most people (I'm guilty sometimes!), you've probably brainwashed yourself into thinking that fast food tastes better than healthy food, but that's not entirely true! Try eating more grapes, clemintines, apples chunks in vanilla yogurt (good for sweet cravings!), blueberries, hummus (it sounds gross but it's really not, especially with Wheat Thins or Food Should Taste Good brand whole grain chips! I personally like garden vegetable or tomato flavored), granola, low-fat yogurt, low-fat string cheese, LITE whole wheat bread, 100 - calorie popcorn / kettle corn bags, steamed broccoli with a buttery garlic sauce etc. I also snack on South Beach Diet oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, they're good AND pretty healthy!
Incorporate more exercise into your daily life. Take the dog for a 20 minute walk, do jumping jacks while watching TV, do laps around the block, or the house for that matter. Don't let yourself sit down for too long. If you can, get a gym membership. I use an elliptical for 30 minutes 5-6 times a week and it works great for me.
And don't eat out of boredom! It's a nasty habit to break, TRUST ME. Whenever you feel like eating, watch a movie with no commercial breaks so you don't have time to get up, call a friend, read a book or magazine, or get out of the house, away from the food.
I recently lost weight, about 20 lbs, and what really helped for me was planning my meals. I planned when and what I was going to eat, and made sure the calorie count was 1400. It may be different depending on your needs, but never go under 1200! Whatver you do, don't let yourself stray from your plan. Write it all down or type it out and leave it up on your computer so you don't forget, that's what I do.
And don't "DIET". Because the moment you go off your "diet", you'll regain the all the weight you lost quickly, believe me. Instead, make "healthy living choices."
You'll never get to your "ideal" body by eating crap food and sitting around, no matter how much you want it to happen. It takes dedication to get the body you want! Make it like a game. How much weight can I lose? Prove it to yourself you DO have the willpower to get what you want.
But allow yourself a cheat day every now and then. Life is too short! If you restrict your body of all the "good foods", you will one day EXPLODE and eat everything in sight. Trust me!
One more thing: Even when you become thin, do not think that it's permanent and you can eat whatever you want now. You still have to watch your calorie intake and exercise, just not as intently.
Good luck! Hope that helps (:

start going for a walk..start out with 30 mins a day then when you feel comfortable with that pace go longer..just make sure it's more of a power walk than just a normal walk. Also eat lots of protein (skinless chicken, tuna, etc) and fibre(whole grain foods) those two combined and you will see the weight shed off in no time! Also, since you're 311 pounds you will lose a lotttt of weight in the first month trust me do this and let me know how it goes!

The brief reply to this question is, alas, "It is dependent." The breasts are composed of 2 major varieties of tissue: the glandular tissue that makes the breast do what it's constructed to do (dispense milk via the nipples whilst lactating), and the fatty tissue that includes the relaxation of it. Some ladies have extra glandular than fatty tissue, others the opposite direction round, and a few have approximately identical quantities. So, for a few ladies, after they acquire weight (i.e. fats), it's saved such a lot swiftly of their breasts. Other ladies, no longer such a lot. Look at your possess historical past of gaining weight, and you're going to be competent to check simply in which your frame has a tendency to retailer extra fats. Is it for your breasts, or your hips, or your thighs? Another factor to bear in mind is, whilst a few ladies, who tend to retailer their extra fats of their boobs, shed some pounds, the boobs keep the equal measurement; others lose the load of their boobs after they shed some pounds total. It is rough to deliver a definitive, one-measurement-suits-all reply to this question, in view that each girl is extraordinary.

I agree that brisk walking is one of the best and easiest method. It is also easy on your knees. I bike a lot on my road bike, but I lose more pounds noticeably by just walking fast for 20-30 minutes several days a week. I eat the same foods, but I cut back on the portion size.
