Ok. I have been struggling with my weight and self-image for almost 6 years now. I am going to college in the August (FALL 2009) and want to know if anyone knows of a good diet/workout regimen(sp) that seems to be working or that has worked for them. Im trying to lose about 50 pounds... and FAST. So any good ideas is appreciated. =]

Congrats on wanting to change your life. But, there is no quick fix on weight loss. It is a process that takes time and effort. I recently lost 30 lbs. and it took almost two years for that. Working out is not something you can do to lose weight and then quit because in the end you will gain the weight right back plus some. Diets don't work!! Watch what you eat, cut out most sugar(you have to have some to live), cut out caffeinated drinks, drink plenty of water(this really helped me). Eat a filling breakfast. Breakfast is key in giving you the energy you need throughout your day. If you start to feel hungry grab a piece of sugar free gum. It has few calories so it's good for you and your teeth. Gum is said to curb your appetite. I would start out exercising 15 minutes a day, 3 times a week. Then gradually step it up. I would incorporate cardio into your workout(running, cycling, kick boxing, etc.). The more you sweat the better. It may hurt and you may want to quit but don't. Because in the end you will see just how worth it all that pain was. Weight liftin (even if it's just 5lbs.) is effective. Lunges and squats help tone thighs and butt. You really have to find what works best for you. Don't give up and you will succeed! Good luck with your weight loss.
