Second, you need to see your doctor. He/she can tell you:
1. Whether or not you need to lose weight, and can help you do it in a way that's right for your body.
2. Tell you whether or not you have a thyroid problem or something else that's causing your weight problem. [ Bucket's advice column | Ask Bucket A Question ]

So just start eating healthier & dont cut down on your calorie intake. also try to stay away from foods with saturated fat & trans fat. those fats are harder to burn & not good for you. Try going to a local gym & work out on machines there. hope this helped :] [ shellbell665's advice column | Ask shellbell665 A Question ]

To lose weight, you need to take in fewer Calories than you use up. Calories are a measure of the amount of energy in food and the energy used up in activity. Cut back your energy intake by about 500 Calories each day. In terms of food, 500 Calories is roughly equal to two and half bowls of rice, four curry puffs (40 g each) or 80 g of roasted peanuts. As well as looking at the amount of food eaten, you need to pay attention to the types of foods eaten. Try to eat more breads and cereals, fruits and vegetables. These are generally low in fat, high in fiber and provide essential vitamins and minerals. Add lean meats, chicken without the skin or fish. Trim all visible fats from meats. If you're eating any chicken, don't eat the skin. And fill up on carbohydrates. Carbohydrates include rice, noodles, bread, fruits and vegetables. Whole grain cereal products are healthier choices because they provide more fiber, vitamins and minerals. And don't forget protein. Don't forget protein. Protein foods such as meat, fish, chicken, poultry, beans and bean products are essential for building, repairing and maintaining the body. You only need 1-2 servings of these each day. And exercise.
