First off, don't make large goals for youself. Instad of thinking about how much you need to loose think about how much you can loose per week. Because you are heavy set loosing weight at first, if on the right plan, will come off faster however, it'll be hard after that so stay determined and head set for your goals.


A really good plan is the South Beach Diet. I know girls who were on it that lost tons of weight and it does work. It's difficult to follow and I'm not sure of the entire meal do's and don'ts but they sell the book at stores and have a website. There are two faises in the plan, the first is very strict and the second is easier.

Other plans which I think are good is Weight Watchers. It sounds weird, like only old women should use it but its amazing and really works. They have several different plans which I am not exact on aswell but they all work. They too have a website you should check out.

I don't recomend Atkins or any low carb diets.



Once you are off a diet plan or have lost your intended weight you still have to watch what you eat because it can all come back.

You should be around 115lbs so aim for that weight and nothing lower. You should never skip meals or overwork yourself...anywhos

Eat healty food. Lay off of choco, candy, carbs, peanut butter, mayo, etc. Try to avoid fast food such as burgers, tacos, pizzas, etc. Switch from sodas to water and one cup of milk each day. Don't say "Oh this has 300 calories" (referring to junk food such as ice cream..) "I'll just eat this as a meal" You should eat five times a day. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner (Eat well proportioned foods and eat veggies! Don't gobble it down. It takes at least 20min to trigger the "I'm full" sensation in your brain. Eat with a smaller plate and fill that up instead of a huge dinner plate. You'll still see the full plate and feel like you ate a lot.) Eat 2 small snacks in between meals. Make sure it's small like an apple or carrots. Brush your teeth right away after meals so you won't have the urge to eat more (toothpaste and food..ew) Turn off the kitchen lights after 8PM so you won't be tempted to get some food.

As for exercise, you should fit in at least 30-60min of it every other day or everyday. It takes 30min (average) for your body to use up the glucose floating around in your body. Then it starts to break down the glycogen --I think tha'ts what its called. Haha. Anywhos, just walk around your neighborhood, do pilates, go to the gym with your friends, play basketball, football, whatever for fun.
