I've gained a lot of weight during the past year. My self esteem is laying down in the floor. During the past two weeks I've been so depressed that I dont want to even go out not even to do groceries. My goal is to loose 30-35 pounds but I have no idea how to :( I already have a diet plan, but now I need an exercise plan which I do not have or know how to do. No clothes fit, and hate the white t-shirts makes me look like a ton of pounds heavier. I'm 19 and married and hubby says he loves me no matter how I look but I don't feel comfortable with my body. I need help !!! desperately. Monday will be my first day hope I can accomplish my goal within 4-5 weeks or at least some of it. Thank you all for all the support you offer in this site, it's very persuading and helpful.

| I totally understand where you are at. I too have about 30 pounds to lose and know little about how to do it. I started to take long walks during my lunch break and have worked up to about an hour. I have lost about 8 pounds so far so am happy. While I wish it happened faster and/or was easier, at least I am moving in the right direction. My suggestion is to start walking or get an exercise bike and put it in front of the TV. Taking walks with friends helps to get me to do it too.

I've been working out since monday and it's great and I'm actually having fun and making fun of myself because I only can do a couple of what the girl's does lol but I'll get there somehow. I went to walmart and bought a bike today and I went to the park and rode it, it was FUN I went this time with my little sister and we had lots of fun, although I will have to go the rest of the week along because we live 1 hr apart from each other  but at least I'm getting the exercise. I'm also on a diet plan and exercise plan also so that helps more :) I havent weighted myself in the last days, but I think in 1-2 weeks I'll see a little difference. Thanks for the reply

| I don't think you can lose 30 pounds in 4 to 5 weeks. That is not realistic. I lost about 50 in 6 months or so years ago by exercising and only eating around 1000 calories a day. (except for 1 day of eating out on the weekends). It worked. Good luck to you!

good for you for getting yourself a bike and giving it a go around! :) as for the 30-40 pds in 4-5weeks, i have to agree with dani, its very hard to do without hurting yourself. I began my weight loss last thanksgiving at 196. Today I am around 160. Its almost been a year, and I have worked pretty hard at changing my intake to healthier items, exercising alot more and tracking my calories. I take my multi vitamins and I have two health conditions that make it a little harder for me to process sugar in my body, so that may or may not make it easier for me to lose. *i am also a newleywed, 35 yrs old with a 4 yr old daughter and hubby is thin as a rail and loves to eat all the things i should avoid, so i am challenged financially by having to decide when to get the good things for me, or to feed the provider and child in our home...*
you are on the right path, you ahve a loving hubby who will be by your side. You have an exercise tool, your bike. You just need to find the right diet, or begin to count your calories. Use the tools on this site to help you guage your daily needs calories wise, and try to stay away from the sweets, carbs etc. Fruit, Nuts, Cheese, Meats all good for you!
Depending on your weight now, you may see a change alone in the fact that you are working out. Sometimes just getting started with exercise will boost a loss for you until your eating habits get to a point that you are feeling good.
Good luck!
