This is how most people feel about working out...they really want to do something, but they have no energy. That's only because it's been so long since they've done anything challenging to their bodies.So don't get discouraged, and stay motivated. I wouldn't do diet pills. I'd just eat 6 small healthy meals a day and workout. I would get a gym membership, and run/walk everyday for at least 30mins. at the fastest pace you can handle. And keep increasing the time/pace as the weeks progress. If running/walking isn't your thing..try another type of cardio workout thats challenging for you. Eventually you can add some weight lifting into your routine. But i'd start with the cardio so you can see results and stay motivated. Good luck.

start off with light exercising. Take a 30-45 minute brisk walk around your neighborhood everyday.Eat healthy. Fruits and vegetables work well. Stay away from sugary drinks and sweets as much as possible.

Losing weight is a big thing, especially for that signicate amount of weight, so be prepared to sacrifice things such as time and money. The main thing is a gym. I highly recommend Lifetime fitness because theres different activites, but whatever fits you. Invest in a trainer. They help alot and can show you the different things to eat. If you dont want to spend much money, print off a diet plan from off the internet and follow it. Make it your number one goal to follow it. Also, add more walking your things you do. Try taking the stairs. Or fidget. Just small things can lose a lot of calories. Try jogging or swimming. Its one of the hightest buring exercises. And with a child, try walking somewhere near (like a park) and teach them how to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Take it one day at a time. You need to get out and do some sort of exercise, if you cant get outside try videos that you can work out to like Denise Austin. And start small if you have to, thats ok. Make sure you are eating healthy too. And make sure you are watching your proportions. It helps me to write things down. And dont worry if you have a bad day once in a while, just dont give up. You can do it if you believe in yourself, just stay strong!!!!!!!!!

On an empty stomach in the morning, drink 1 glass of warm water mixed with juice of half a lime and 1 tsp honey. OR In 1 cup of water, add 3 tsp of limejuice, ½ tsp pepper powder and some honey. Drink this everyday for about 3-4 months. ORAs a substitute of breakfast, consume 2 ripe tomatoes in the morning. This remedy will aid in reducing your weight at a faster rate.

Your best bet is to speak to a nutritionist and your doctor and ask them what would be healthiest for you. What is good for one person isn't always good for another. And diet pills are never good for anyone!!! You need a healthy diet and exercise on a regular basis. If you eat small meals every 3-4 hours (similar to a diabetic diet) you will likely be better off than with three large meals per day. Hope this helped.

Im in same shape and again have started another program. What works for one doesnt for other but several things are common. Such as increase water. I found to actual measure tit out in old soda botles or container. I now like the green tea, citrus and it does help energy. Use smalller plates, eat slower. Park farther away from store. Learning to improve bad habits takes time but can be done. Most over counter pils have not helped me but I did start a fat burner for sale at a workout near me. I also joined it and try swim once a week and some of machines several time week. You just have to start even if its just walk dog every day. I also ordered weight watch magazine. These things may not be for you but there are weight watch and TOPS groups that may work. Just keep trying or you will have bad health for years to come.. I wish I had started sooner. mamatx

Rule of thumb for weight loss: Diet= 70% exercise= 30%Great 7 step plan to follow for LASTING and healthy results (My sources are I've been a world-class athlete since age 6, read tons about this for years including Gunnar Peterson's book The Workout [he's trainer to A list celebrities] and Tony Robbin's "The Body You Deserve" and after educating my brother, he lost 45 pounds in 4 months and has kept it off for 1.5 years plus):1. Awareness of what you eat by keeping a diet journal to see where ure going wrong plus writing down very specific goals w/a time frame on them (be realistic yet firm) and view them on a regular basis. Also- tell someone about your progress toward your goals on a regular basis- this will keep you accountable. I have an excel spreadsheet that lists all my goals and my weekly progress toward them and I share them with my boyfriend each week so we can discuss it. Choose someone encouraging and motivating that wants to see you succeed. Family and best friends are great choices.2. Best cardio is running in terms of weight loss. It is however, very high-impact and can lead to injuries. If you get injured- 2nd best is rowing, 3rd is cycling (both of which are less impact). You should be doing cardio minimum 4 times a week 30min.-1 hr. Weight loss heart rate range is one where you can carry on a conversation w/o a big struggle. Mix it up to keep from losing willpower or getting bored. People lose motivation when exercise isn't fun and engaging. If you love soccer or basketball or volleyball...what are you doing at the gym? Cardio is cardio!3. Resistance program to help firm muscles and give a pretty tone (u can't spot-reduce- weight training results per individual body part will only be visible after the fat layer is off from the cardio). You should do this 2-3 times a week for 30 min-1 hr each time. It's important to have that break in between so your muscles can rest. Remember- each muscle gained= more calories lost on a daily basis b/c this revs up your metabolism! Jessica Biel is a great model for a muscular gorgeous body. Look at a picture of her and visualize your face on her body. The mind's thoughts literally create your reality and destiny. This has been proven over the centuries.4. 3 meals/2snacks per day: high fiber/ high protein helps keep you full and eat low carb unless its good complex carbs like salad and fruit and whole-grains. Bottom line: eat the natural foods our ancestors ate, no processed junk. The best foods for you are filled with FIBER (shoot for 35 gms a day- this will curb cravings like heck!) Anna Kournikova eats a fruit and has a glass of water 30 min before her meals to be fuller and eat less (you should always do this, esp b4 going out to eat where temptations are large). When you eat great, nutrient-packed foods, you dont need to obsess over counting calories- so many better things to occupy your time with, like reading! A clever mind will take you farther in life than a beautiful body Bottom line- keep perspective and don't let this consume you to the point of being OCD. Also, no diet sodas- the fake sugars actually make ure body crave more sugary stuff. Stick to tea (coffee makes your body crash and can increase appetite) and water and never bring bad foods into your house. A woman should never go under 1200 cals a day by the way, slightly more for a man...very unhealthy. Breakfast= eat like a king, Lunch= eat like a prince, and Dinner= eat like a pauper. Lastly, take a multivitamin each day...go to Whole Foods and ask them which is a really high-quality one, b/c it's not just taking a MV but the better ones dont cheat you on the grams and your body absorbs the vitamins/minerals best. Ask what is a good daily regimen for your gender, but don't let them oversell you. The most you should need is a multi and maybe fish oils.5. Americans in general want things QUICK and easy, we are impatient- you must be patient in terms of your results and never give up. Additionally, this is a LIFESTYLE change for LIFE: There are NOOO get-thin quick schemes, PERIOD. If u abuse your body u will ruin your metabolism and in the future u will gain weight MUCH easier than today. Diet pills will kill you as quickly as they helped kill Anna Nicole Smith. They are no better than drugs so don't take the cheap lazy way out.6. Weigh yourself once a week, never more often than that but get all measurements- waist circumference, body fat %, muscle %, water % (there are good digital scales that do this) b/c u could be gaining muscle which weighs more than fat or be full of water and be like- why the heck wont i lose weight! and then binge on donuts no no no! and reward yourself when you make progress! make it fun or else you'll quit sooner than later.7. Drink min. 2 liters of water per day (more for men) and whenever you're stressed- take DEEP BREATHS rather than reaching for food. Breathe in this ratio: Inhale for 5 counts, hold for 20 counts, exhale for 10 counts. If you do 10 of these 3x/day you'll be releasing toxins, decreasing appetite, & your energy and vitality will boom. This is why people lose weight doing yoga which on its own doesnt lose many calories. Oxygen is so so important.You can do it! Good luck, keep a positive attitude, and never give up!
