Hello, my name is Noemi and unfortunatly like many of us I have gained a huge amount of weight.. I am 6'00 ft tall and before I got married I use to weight 148 (I was super skinny and I loved it).. Those were the happy days for me-all of the cloths I would try on or wear fit beautifully.. Everyone use to tell me that I should be a model beacuse of my height and beauty..A picture of me is attached to this message.. This all happend in 2004 but now Iam different.. I gained weight up to 240 pounds what covers it a little is my height but still people around me notice it.. I stoped receiving or hearing compliments about my appearance..I use to see guys around me stare at me and want to get my number now I see no one look at me or even say that Iam beautiful..
I dont want to write too long All I want to say is that Iam struggleling to lose weight to get back to my old self again.. Now one of my closest friends is getting married and I want to look good for her wedding .. Her wedding is on April 27 I was just wondering if its possible to lose 50, 60, or even 80 pounds before that big day???
Please help me out on what to do.. I think that what killed me was eating outside food (MCDONALDS, TACO BELL, etc.) but now Iam soo I addicted to eating outside food (especially at night) thats its super hard to let go...PLEASE HELP i need some advice..
Thank you

The first thing you need to stop is all fast food, especially the ones you listed, it's quick and fast and convienent but it makes you gain weight the same way quick and fast! Eat a good breakfast, cereals on the market like total, special K, add fruit or eat oatmeal. Lots of water especially before eating!!! Cut out sodas, shakes and Icecream, Use only lowfat milks, wheat breads and grain pastas, lots and lots of veggies, make salads add chicken chunks, cut out real butter there are loads of substitutes on the market, No fried foods, when cooking meats use olive oil not cheap oils or shortenings. Cut out high fat meats, like hamburger meat unless it's lean, it a red meat ends with Loin, it's a good choice. Fish is a great choice, broil all meats and cut off all excess fat!! When cooking eggs, use only the egg whites cook using sprays for butter substitute. And Exercise, everyday, walk, bike what ever, when you go to the stores something as simple as parking further away will be a help!!! Look online for Low fat recipes and use them, you can lose alot of weight just stay focused. If you need some recipes for any specific foods you like I have hundreds of low fat recipe substitutes for the food we all love. The use of herbs will spice up and help alot!!!! Good luck, believe you can do, and you will

First no you don't lose 50/60 pounds in a month and you don't want to. You want to get on a proper diet, cut out the junk food, the fast food. Talk to your doctor who can help provide advice on weight loss.

Go to a gym and work out

But weight loss needs to be done right or you cause worst problems.

If you lose what you want in about a month and a half as you are asking, that would be very dangerous. It could be very stressful on your heart to say the least. I too have gained a lot of weight since I got married. I lost some of it while going through a divorce. Now, I am still over weight but I am working on losing. Exercise is the key and watching what you eat as well. But don't be alarmed if you gain some weight while you work out. Muscle weighs more than fat...but you will look better and once you start to lose, you will start to feel better. I can't believe how much happier I felt when I lost 30 lbs. I lost a total of 90 lbs in almost a year. I have kept that off now for 2 years. I have recently started back on track to get to my goal weight. You can do it...you seem to have the will power. If you need words of encouragement, just let me know. I will be there for you.

Such a massive weight loss in such a short time - eight weeks or so - is well nigh impossible, and efforts to take off in a short time what it took years to put on could prove to be seriously injurious to you, if not fatal.

Many of us struggle to get back to what we were before we let things go, but the road to happiness is to be happy with who and what you are. Sometimes the stress of dieting can be worse for us than the extra weight.

I won't lecture you about diet and exercise because you already know all that. What you can change easily is your attitude to yourself. Love yourself whatever your weight, and those who love you best will do the same.

Good luck, and good health.
