I'm 21 years old, female, and hovering between 240 and 250 lbs. Size 16, if that helps... so it sits pretty okay on me, but I'm not happy with it.

I was always really fit in high school, always around 180 lbs of pure muscle (I actually hold a black belt in karate), and even after starting university I managed to avoid the freshman 15. However, I went through a very stressful time in my life, and ended up gaining about 70 lbs over the course of 2 years. In the past couple of summers, I have managed to lose 30 or 40 lbs with relative ease, but as soon as I'm back at home, I gain it all back.

This summer, I'm living in my own house, and my husband will be gone for 4 months (he's with the military). I'm thinking that this is a good time to really tackle my weight before it tackles me.

First off, I already do not eat junk food. My problem is too much healthy food if anything. I don't eat fried food and rarely eat sweets. My sweets, when I do eat them, are generally something like a slice of homemade banana bread, or a small piece of dark chocolate. I try to control my portions, but always end up hungry again. I drink nothing but water and the occasional diet, caffeine free soda. I get out for walks regularly, and ride a bicycle to and from work. I've just started up with seeing a trainer a few times a week, but that will only last about a month due to financial constraints. I have a gym membership, too.

The way I see it, I need to lose between 80 and 100 lbs. I'm not planning to do it in one summer, but I figure that while I am bored I will be able to take a good crack at it and get a start.

Any tips on how to lose it and keep it off? I feel like I'm doing the right things, but it never seems to work. It's like my metabolism is stuck.

Also, if anyone out there needs to lose a similar amount of weight, I would love to have a weight loss buddy. All my friends are in the 120-150 range, so they don't really have the same sort of weight loss goals as me.

Eating acai berries promotes weight loss. you can find them at health stores and they are completely natural. it sounds like if you stick to what you have said above that you will have results. good luck!
