Well, starving yourself isn't the answer. When you starve yourself, you lose weight too quickly and your body releases chemicals that make you smell HORRIBLE. Oh yeah, and your body eats away your organs.

Now as far as exercise; there are sooo many diets out there, and most of them work about the same. Treadmills are bad for your knees, so I'd recommend an elliptical running machine, or a bike. Either way if you want to lose (fat) weight, it needs to be cardio exercising. Weigh lifting mostly just builds muscle.
Right now what I'm doing is going every other day on an elliptical machine. You can look them up on Google image search if you don't know what they are. It's good to do cardiovascular exercise for about 30 mins at a time.
Oh yeah, I just learned that Gatoraid is a life saver. Seriously, there was an immense difference when I worked out with and without Gatoraid. It gave me enough energy to keep going for a while.
Junk foods around the house need to go. It's always good to have healthier alternatives. If you have junk around and easily accessible, you'll pretty much find yourself eating it.
Vikas0930 answered Monday May 22 2006, 10:53 pm: OK, I have recently lost about 15 pounds. I did Turbo Jam which is alot of fun it's kickboxing/dance. Whole grain and vitamins are very important. Stay way from processed meat and lunch meats as alot contain high salf. Fish and Grilled chicken is the way to go. Fruits and veggies are important look on the internet for the correct portion of them to eat. You should drink a gallon of water a day...throughout the day. I did it and it's hard but it helped. Try not to eat the same thing everyday or you'll get frustrated and bored. Plus talk to your doctor about an eating plan that will work for you. Absolutely stay away from anything with artificial sweetner it's awful for you. I don't care what people say about it. Good luck and if you need support just ask me. I'm right there with ya.
