Why go from one extreme to another. Try eating healthy and portion control and be as active as possible and you will lose wt. Aim for slow wt loss, 1 - 2 lbs per week and with good eating habits you will be on your way to good health for a lifetime. Snack on healthy foods and stop the sugar products and fast foods. Thanks for posting and let us know how you are doing, and remember to have patience.
We didn't gain overnight and slow wt loss is better...

Hello Mikey, losing weigh is HARD, my advice is to seek help, and not to try and make too many changes at once. Little steps, little changes can be so effective, just one small change (like not drinking your calories (eg. juice or pop) can add up to a big loss in a year. Little changes like when you eat don't do anything else (read, watch tv or work on computer) concentrate on what you are eating and how your body reacts to the food, chew it slowly and take your time. Little changes like not going for seconds on anything. Little changes like eating off of a smaller plate. Just make one change at a time, till you are comfortable with it and you can make lifelong habits that ensure you don't yo-yo or worse just gain more.

All of us here wish you the best, you can do this and doing it at your age means you will have a healthier longer life.

First of all I want to say that I am sorry that you are overweight, I am overweight myself and I am in the process of trying to lose weight. I haven't bought any junk food in almost two weeks, now I just need to start exercising. I am here if you need support, however I do want to tell you that you do not want to become anorexic because that is not a good thing and it could kill you but so can being overweight. I work for an eating disorder clinic well hospital and I see people killing themselves each day, it's so sad. The best thing I can say is to start exercising, and watching what you eat. have you thought about maybe seeing a doctor, or nutritionist? that's what I am doing as well as s tarting to keep a food diary or journal. I'm here if you need to talk.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
