The special K cereal is a good start, but that is not all you can eat. Try eating five smaller meals throughout the day. For example eat oatmeal for breakfast, try to get a snack in before lunch, like an apple, then for lunch try to eat chicken or fish on a salad, then another snack- fruit or veggies, and then for dinner try a lean cuisine. You may not be hungry to eat all the time, but it will speed up your metabolism and help you to lose weight. Also drink a lot of water, this will help you feel full throughout the day. This should help you get healty and lose weight. Also try walking 20-30 minutes as many days as you can a week, this will help, but the diet is the most important right now. Good luck, I know it will be hard, but you can do it!! Back to top wondermom Yahoo User Posted: Wed Dec 12, 2007 6:37 am    Post subject: Eat 8 small meals a day. (very small) to boost your metabolism. And walk walk walk. Make the effort to make healthy choices and NO SUGAR. Use sweetener. And if you must have those sweets, there are dozens of sugarfree snacks. But if you eat too many you get diarrhea. (So watch it). Put some pictures on your refridgerator and cabinets of models (magazines, etc.) that you would like to look like. Then when you go to grab that snack you don't need, you see them looking at you! Worked for me!!! Good luck and don't let all these negative idiots who've never struggled with weight get you down. You cannot stop what works for you. YOU MUST ADOPT IT AND INCORPORATE IT INTO YOUR LIFESTYLE FOREVER!!! Get inside your own head first and convince yourself that YOU CAN do this!! If your health is failing, go to bariatric seminar. It's not as risky as it once was and they do hundreds of surgeries per year......Good luck dear!!

This will also help with over eating, and when the water is chilled your body will burn more cal to warm it up. Eat healthier and exercise, and exercise start slow as simple as walking. Eat more often but make the meals smaller and again drink more water. Back to top nealeinmi Yahoo User Posted: Wed Dec 12, 2007 6:49 am    Post subject: What is your goal? What do you imagine when you think of the "perfect you"? AND HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT?If you have an image of how you want to look, and you want to achieve that image bad enough, then I can help you. Otherwise all the best information you get here will be useless.Let's assume you want to be the best you.1. Diet - I'm betting that if you're 280lbs you consume thousands of calories a day. And probably mostly from the wrong foods.You need to cut your calories, but don't over do it. Try to cut your calorie intake by about 500 calories a day. That's 3,500 calories a week, which equals about 1lb of body weight. 1lb of weight loss/week is sustainable (ie no putting on 60 -70lbs in a few months).Lay off the junk food, and try to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, and more lean meat.2. ExerciseThere are two components to exercise that you need to address. First is resistence training (weights). By lifting weights you create muscle, and muscle burns calories. Muscle also looks better than fat, and it will make you look less "flabby". Sure muscle weighs more than fat, but it's healthy weight.The second is aerobic exercise (cardio is the new buzz word). At 280lbs you probably want to keep the exercise intensity lower. Try walking to start. It's low impact, low intensity, and doable. By keeping the intensity lower will also increase the number of Mitochondria in your cells. Mitochondria are where energy is produced in the body. The more Mitochondria you have, the higher your base metabolic rate. That means your body will burn more calories while you're doing nothing.If you do those three things (Food, resistence training, aerobic training) you will lose weight, feel healthier, and look better.BTW - Reward yourself along the way. If you set a goal to be Xlbs by a certain date and you make it. Buy yourself that new outfit, or do something that makes you feel good (DO NOT REWARD YOURSELF WITH FOOD). When you achieve your ultimate goal, reward yourself again.Good Luck.

Back to top SpecialD Yahoo User Posted: Wed Dec 12, 2007 8:08 am    Post subject: You should a healthy eating, no more McDonald's or KFC, start making some exercises for weight loss (exercising is very important), keep a diet and also if you wish, you can try some weight loss products. But first of all go to a doctor, have some tests and ask his opinion too! Back to top joyceeleann Yahoo User Posted: Wed Dec 12, 2007 9:04 am    Post subject: This is my theory and this is what works for me. Everyone is different so it may need to be adjusted to your own personal needs.Energy In/Energy OutFood Intake: 1,200 Per DayOne Pound equals 3,500 CaloriesTo loose one pound per day, You need to burn your food intake plus your one pound of fat1,200 (intake) + 3,500 (Outtake) = 4,700 Calories BurnYou must burn at least 4,700 Calories everyday to loose one pound at least. It is very easy to go up and beyond 4,700 calories each day.Best way to do this is to track your progress on a calorie counter monitor watch. If you do it by the numbers you can loose the weight. It is just a matter of changing the way you think about weight loss.Once you start wearing your calorie counter you can see the numbers increase and you fill find yourself doing extra things in your day, like tapping your foot while waiting at the light in your car, chewing gum, singing out loud and so on onto of your workout routines. You begin to see that everything you do in your day contributes to the overall numbers needed to loose that pound.I, myself, have done this recently. Two weeks later, I lost one pant size and 10 pounds. And that is just my current progress. I have used this method previously after childbirth and have gone from 168 to 127 pounds with in two months.I personally burn 1,000 calories by Walking in my community for one hour in the morning and I also burn 1,000 calories by simply using a stationary bike while playing xbox. I get so involved in playing xbox that I completely forget I am pedaling or working out. Think about it..How many hours have you spent playing video games..why not burn calories while you are doing it.___Water Intake/Less StorageMost people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body's principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 to 80 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day.____Good FoodMy favorite things to eat:Avocado WrapsSimple: Low Carb Tortilla, Half Avocado sliced, alpha sprouts, lettuce, soy bacon...Just wrap it up and eat. You can vary the things you put inside so long as you keep it to approx 4 or 5 items. You want to make sure they are fresh, low calorie and filling. Avocado and mushrooms can replace meats in your meal and still have great taste.Special K Cereals are fantastic. They have that sweetness that one craves and is so good for you. Calories are low. Great for even just dinner.First thing in the morning...A Glass of Chocolate Milk. Yup!! Chocolate Milk. We all crave that "got to have" item in the morning. Milk is the best thing you can have for yourself while working out. The chocolate (and you can use Carnation Instant Milk for this but I simply use Nestle dry mix) will give you that sweet "snack" that you need. If you give your body a little bit of it and its in a control way, you will not crave sweets and junk the rest of the day.Lean CuisinesFantastic food! Each meal is approx 180 t0 380 calories per box. So think about your calories. 1,200...You can still have several of these meals a day and still be under your intake requirements. It’s all about the numbers and watching what you take in and what you burn out. And you know what..If you go over your 1,200 mark for food intake...that’s okay...you simple up your total calories burned for the day by what you took it. So long as you burn off the over all calories to be more than your food intake. Just make sure you stick too it so you can reach your weight loss goals.Fruits and VeggiesAll you want on the schedule listed below. Bananas are my favorite. They are very filling and can make a meal all on their own.____VitaminsMy favorite is ONE A DAY WITH ENERGY...I am in love with this vitamin because I am just like everyone else who loves those quick fix energy drinks. But what people do not realize is that energy drinks can contain 120 to 440 calories in just ONE Can. If you think about it..That is HALF of your allowed calories for food intake. The best alternative I have found is One a day with energy vitamin. Easy to spot, it is packaged in a green label bottle. Just One vitamin a day will give you as much energy as approx. 1 1/2 cans of red bull...WITHOUT the calorie intake. WoW..now your making progress already because you have made more room in your intake calories for actual healthy food._____Soda/CarbonationCarbonation is terrible for your system because it bloats your stomach. And when your stomach bloats, your jeans just don't fit. You can drop one pant size simply by NOT drinking any carbonated drinks all together..Take away the bloat and you have instantly just made it one pant size lower. Besides, Sodas dehydrate you and with that One a Day Vitamin, you won't need the Caffeine in the soda and it will also cut out those extra calories that you don't need.So remove that soda and the energy drinks and just think how much calories you just instantly removed from your daily intake. I normally consume what...four sodas and two energy drinks in one day...that is a total of .... 900 calories. Of what??? Nothing...Those are horrible calories and calories that can be replaced by food which will fuel your body for your day and your workouts.____Your BodyYour body is like a computer. You must program your body to do what it is suppose to do so it won't crash and leave you with a virus. Your stomach is only the size of your fist. So think about it right now, Look at your hand and close your fist. Not very big is it. That is how much food you actually ONLY need to eat, each time you eat for every meal. If you eat anything more than that, you will stretch out your stomach which causes overeating and overweight.What you need to do is eat every three hours, approx 5 to 7 times everyday around the same time. If you are always giving your body healthy and better food choices (the size of your fist) every three hours, your body will know you are giving it food. It will use that food properly. It will not go into starvation mode or store food away for later because it knows...it will get more in three hours. So what does your body do...it flushes everything out of your system because it doesn't need it.. Now it knows...you wont' forget about it and that food is on its way.____Walking BuddyThis is the best thing especially for woman. Get a walking buddy. One hour everyday. Just think about how much talking, venting and laughing two woman can do together while walking and yup, you guessed it...it just burns more calories and reduces your stress. You now are more relaxed because you can talk and free yourself of whatever is frustrating you while getting into shape.:By: My own experience/Joyceeleann Back to top Wrenched Yahoo User Posted: Wed Dec 12, 2007 9:05 am    Post subject: Sorry to hear you are feeling so bad about yourself, I hope we can help you feel better and see that you can reach your goal. If you were to change the number of calories you eat, eat healthy sensible choices, exercise in moderation, (for your size), over time you can reduce your weight and size to one acceptable to you. You, only you, and after all acceptable to you is the key here for you to feel good about yourself. Think of your challenge in this fairly simple way. When the number of calories ingested is less than calories used it equals weight loss and that exercise increases the calories used. To lose one pound of fat per week you takes about 500 less calories ingested per day (or 500 calories used per day).So you want to find the average number of calories used for your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and general activities. A simple rule of thumb is about 10 Cal/Pound of total body weight. So if you weigh 280 you are using about 2800 calories per day in MBR and general activities. If want to lose one pound per day eat only 2300 calories per day.Looks sort of like this without any exercise at 280 pounds: Basal Metabolic Rate: 2003 kcal + General Activity: 801 kcal + Extra Activity and Exercise: 0 kcal - Weight Loss Goal: 500 kcal = Daily Quota: 2304 kcal. Eat your food (calories) in 5 to 6 meals per day to keep from being too hungry between meals. Drink a lot of water, 8 to 10 glasses per day. Stay away from highly refined white sugar and highly refined white flour. Eat a balanced menu of foods you enjoy. Only eat 2300 cal per day as you start, as your weight diminishes you will need to reduce/adjust your calorie intake. Weight rebound is always a hazard if you DIET rather than change your eating habits. To diet always seems to me to be punitive because I can't eat what I like to eat. So don’t diet, change your eating habits, just reduce the total number of calories you eat each day.Take up exercise as you can tolerate it. Don’t over do it, make it fun and you will continue, if you make it hurt and it isn’t enjoyable you won’t continue.In 100 days you could weigh 180 pounds, in 150 days you could weigh 130 pounds! Good luck to you in your life change. Get ready to buy some new clothes! Back to top
