trying to loose weight

[weightloss]

i just thought somebody should start a thread about weightloss.
i want to loose about 85 lbs.
i weight about 240lbs and summer is coming and i really had enough.
i dont have any energy and i'm always cranky.
so maybe there are other women and men out there that feel the same way or maybe you have some tips and advice.

Gold's Gym has some really good deals going on right now... not to mention, they've added additional space and extra equipment to their facilities as well. I especially like their cardio cinema room. The movie isn't always the best, but you do find that you get caught up in it and you forget that you've just walked, jogged, or ran 2 miles. I'm good... I'm bad. I go religiously and then I slack off... then I get back into it. You just have to make you happy and not worry about everyone else.

I assume that you don't expect to lose 85 pounds before summer, though... correct? I think that's a little unhealthy and unrealistic. You might see stuff like that on NBC's Biggest Loser, but remember... those people are working out no less than 8 hours a day.

Get off the bread, eat fruit not sweets. Gradual and then just work at it. Try to walk wherever possible. When weather permits I try to walk the compound for about 15 minutes a day, it doesn't make a lot of difference, but it helps my BP and I lose a little here and a little there.

At any meal you may eat until you are full.
Do not skip the bacon at breakfast or omit the salads. It is the combination of food that burns fats
The grapefruit is important b/c it acts as a catalyst that starts the burning process.
Cut down on coffee; it affects the insulin balance and hinders the burning process. Limit 3 cups per day.
Do not eat b/w meals. If you eat the combination of foods suggested, you will not get hungry.
You may double or triple helpings of meat, salad, and vegetables. Eat as much as you want. The more you eat of the combinations of food, the more you will lose.<o:p></o:p>
