help me im fat and going to high school i really want to lose weight!!!

I weighed recently and the scale said 330 lbs. I’m wearing a size 28/30 at five eight and thirty one years old. It doesn’t help that my husband eats like a pig and is super skinny. I think his weight is a negative number now…lol. So my goal is to lose two hundred pounds. How can I lose the weight and tone the skin up. I cant afford surgery. Gotta do this the old fashioned way. I have severe back pains, swollen feet and ankles, shortness of breath and leg pains. I’m sure that the weight is to blame. How long will this take? What should I eat? I’m lost.

no formal update from me props to adkpooh for doing it too anyone who wants it can take it i weigh 259 pounds now and started at 381 im getting there i can taste it im determined

Day 7. Ketostix: Small. Why is it when you are fat it is the only thing that comes to mind for others – even loved ones -when they think about you? I will never understand it. You could be the most loving, giving, supportive, intelligent, creative, hard-working and selfless person in the world…. but the first comments out of everyones mouth have to do with your weight. It is maddening. Okay… I am putting it in a bubble and blowing it away. Huff.

Day 6. Ketostix: Trace. Having less cravings suddenly. Need to find an egg replacement for breakfast. Maybe zucchini. Blaines Low Carb Kitchen has a great recipie for zucchini hash. I may make a batch of that. I find it hard to control the portions with that though.

no weight today…
gonna wait til friday for an update on that im honestly afraid to look at the scale
went to my best friends parents silver anniversary yesterday where they fed me very well and i get home to more food…i need to learn to say no in these situations it’s gonna take me til friday to look at the scale…

Day 3. Low Carb Ketostix- negative. Went swimming this afternoon- not at the park but at my Dads. I had forgotten that my father opened the pool for the first time this year since Mom passed (yea, I think another factor involved in the weight gain was a little depression). Man was I right…. it was cc-cc-cold. LOL. The water was only about 65 degrees. I wasn’t able to swim long… but at least I had a little exercise cleaning the pool: dragging out hoses hooking everthing up- bumping the filter etc. I may go back tomorrow!! I do need to clean out my car and do some laundry/ house cleaning on Sunday. I also plan on going on a 3 mile walk at a local nature center- at the a$$ crack. Back to the gym before work on Monday morning. Gym consists of walking as fast as I possibly can on the treadmill for one hour. I am not doing anything else. To be brutally honest, I personally don’t think anything else puts as much of a dent into the weight loss of someone my size than cardio (as fast anyway). When I can get down under 300, I will start lifting. I know that more muscle increases your metabolism and adds definition, but, so does simply hauling a$$ when you weigh this much (to the point I am winded and sweating). Actually, fitting on, in and behind machines can be awkward and physically uncomfortable when your over 300 lbs. It is not a cop out, I spend 1 hr on treadmill and at least 30 minutes on an arc trainer…..at least 4 times a week. One of my problems is that keeping a routine is difficult when my work world falls apart. I have a job that is ridiculiously stressful- the hours can be from 7 am to 7pm. It is one of the last remaining jobs in this area. I MUST find a way to cope with what I do….. aside from eating (which was my mechanism, it seems, for quitting smoking). As much as I a hate to admit it, I must be a creature of routine. I need to schedule every part of my day or it goes to hell. The problems arise when I need to become adaptable- I find ways to slack and… ‘spoil my inner child’ for lack of a better phrase.
