I hear your frustration. My physician back in september helped me to get on track. Alot of people can't do it but I count calories (1500) and carbs since I'm a new diabetic. I've lost 49 pounds. I saw her today and now I have to start walking. Exercise has been hard to me because I got so heavy but in a couple of days I'll get started on that, I've got 2 busy days ahead of me. I'm sure you'll get some other ideas with your post. There are so many ways to get started and so many ways to lose weight. I try and not call it a diet, as I tell everyone I'm looking for a lifestyle change not a quick fix. I have tons of weight to still lose. I hope you have a good evening and a peaceful sleep. vickie

Drink nothing but water for a week or 2. You should drop 10lbs. According to a friend of mine, who's boyfriend is a health nut, that's the case. No juice, no coffee, no tea...no soda. Just water. Walking is a good exercise to start with. Even if it's 15mins to begin with. You can extend it with how you're feeling every time. Bring music with you...that way you have something to take your mind off the fact that you're exercising. That's what I do.

Just a suggestion...or 2.

It's at times like this that I get tempted by quick fix diets that are not maintainable over time (eg Slimfast etc) - it all depends on how much weight you have to lose really. If it 20-30 lbs then Slimfast is great, but if you need to lose a lot of weight then i', sorry to say that it really is hard work time. The only way you'll get the weight off and keep it off is by watching your calorie intake and exercising. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it's a reality that I've been denying for years and am now finally accepting. If you want support in doing it then you are in the right place.
I know it's frustrating, but if you lose weight fast, you'll put it back on faster!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
