Does anyone have a good diet that i can go on?

hi, im 25 yrs old. i weigh 386lbs, and 5'2. i need to lose weight bad and ready to do so. i have lost 68lbs in the past. but i dont work, cause i have a son with autism and i stay at home with him. can someone help me with some exercise steps and diet ideas. thanks.

all you need to do is hit the gym,,,get a low carb diet and get lean...you dont need to be skinny to look good. especially if you have kids....its so easy to see weight loss just by dieting right and running or treadmill for atleast 300 calories which is equivilent to tredmill/23-31mins bycycle=22-25mins....look i do this every day. You should be able to burn 10 calories per minute,.. just take it slow
wakeup- eat a bowl of special K serial.
snake at around 10 apple, granola,
lunch12- eat a salad and a sandwhich. make sure its a salad with something, tuna, chicken
snake a banana or sometype of carbs(good Carbs)
after work-home nice lean dinner( turkey breast, veggies, patatoes, salad)
then after this maybe a small fruit.
eat as much wheat bread as you like with your meals, i usualy eat 1-2 slices....

AS YOU SEE I EAT ALOT BUT IT BALANCES OUT...I GO TO THE GYM EVERY NIGHT AROUND 8 AND WORK OUT FOR 1HR. THATS ALL YOU NEED. AND THROUOUT THE DAY ALL I DRINK IS WATER,...NO SODA, JUICE, MAINLY WATER, OH AND THE MILK FOR BREAKFAST.... AVOID SUGAR SNACKS, TREATS,
BUT ITS OK TO CHEAT 1 TIME EVERY 2 WEEKS. MAYBE A BIG MAC,. NOT EVERYDAY THOUGH

Weight Watchers....best life changing plan ever. You can even do it online so you don't need to leave th house. Also Kathy Smith workout videos are great for doing at home excercise. Good Luck.

i don't think you should be looking for a diet, not that I'm against them or anything, they help loads of people but i don't think you are one of them!!

just eat healthy and go on a nice slow jog as often as you can, you'll see the results in no time!!!

have fun!!

You have a son? Awesome...Theres your answer. Take him to play and it turn you will be just as active, start small, you cant expect to run 10K's in a day just yet. In terms of diets, the only successful diet i've seen and heard work is weight watchers. I know 2 girls who've tried it and I've seen the results, and a couple of my friends know ppl who have also tried this plan and successfully lost weight.

The only thing that works is to eat less and stick to it. The South Beach Diet foods do have the right amount of protein/carbs to sustain your hunger paings a little longer!!! Eat more foods that will last longer in you and you will be more apt to stay with it.....

Good Luck!

try a low calorie diet. you need to start consuming about 2000 at your weight a day and as you lose more slowly lower the amount of calories. workout tips i could give are buy exercise tapes, do crunches, or go for a walk with your son.

Hi tina
I'm 25 too, and I started a 'lifestyle change' about 2 months ago. I can't begin to tell you how many diets I'd gone on. Diets are really bad for you... what you need to do, is see what changes you can make progressively in your life. Those you can keep up with.
I went on www.craigslist.org and posted an ad to find an activity partner. We started walking together in the park, 1h a day. Is it possible for you to take even 30mn off from your son every day? Walking, if you do it a little faster that you usually would, is a great start. You'll find it's very relaxing, too.
The other thing I did was to make my plate half filled with vegetables at every meal. I couldn't always do that, but I tried, and progressively put more and more. I found a "Food Lion"/:Ranch Market" is another asian supermarket, their fruits and veggies are insanely cheap. I think that with all the hard work you are doing, you simply need to go out and spend time for yourself... try taking your son to the zoo, I have heard that autistic kids love animals, and really connect with them.

Good luck!
