I need to lose half my weight (11 stone)

I am female, 16 years old and weigh 22 stone. It is a ridiculous amount of weight to gain and i know that to lose 11 stone will take years but i am willing to try. I would like to know some tips on how to keep your mind off snacking on sandwiches and carb foods and also fizzy/soft drinks like coke and sprite etc. Because these are my major downfalls. Also tips on how to stay on track of dieting and how to get back on track if you do happen to slip off for a minute or two. Usually if i do exercise for a couple of days or so i tend to get pains in my arms and legs and also get tired what sorts of foods should i be eating (examples of foods, portions, time of days to eat, ammount of times to eat and what is in them that makes them help would be good to know thank you) and of course i know water is the best drink and i will try very hard to stick to that.
Thanks so much.
Hope you have great answers that will help

I'm not too familiar with stones too. I use kilograms mostly. From the first post, I guess one stone is equivalent to 6.36 kg. Not so far!

Thanks for your support. Have been stressing a bit about everything lately, just started college, have hospital appointments every couple of months testing for epilepse aswell as pcos, so i havent made much progress. Its really hard. I know how easy it is to blame other people, but my mum and dad have always tried to help me. I have been on diets all of my life nothing ever seems to work. But i am obviously gonna keep on going and try even harder because the longer i stay this way the longer i will be unhappy and whats the point in that?

its perfactly normal for your arms to hert after exercise. it means your body is working out and its adjusting to it. you can carry healthy snacks with you like carrots and stuff and drink alot of water or if you like juice you can drink cranberry juice. you can also try eating organic foods which is way better for your body and you will see results also try exercising 30 minutes a day at least 5 times a week or every other day

Watcha mean by organic food? One have to eat organic food. Only minerals and vitamins are not considered organic.

Anyway, has2loseweight, try to do some exercise daily, for example walking a little daily to and from school if your school is not too far away and the weather allows you to.

Ah, I don't know if you already told it... but, do you have a dog? Going with it for some walks would help you. Keep us informed!

Yes i have a dog i do walk him all the time let it be around the block or to the field for an hour or so. Thanks for your advice. I have a work out video which does help when i use it its just trying to find the time is quite hard, which isnt really any excuse but i have definately cut down in what i have been eating aswell lately and have made sure that its just three square meals in a day. And drink plenty of water so lets hope it goes well for a while.

Wow, there are a lot of posts from start to finish! but from what I can see you are doing well! Did you find out if you have PCOS? Do you know about Insulin Resistance (IR)? It could be part of your problem-- a good place to read about IR is at Insulite Laboratories | Reversing Insulin Resistance.

Also, I noticed someone writing about how it is only willpower that will get you through. I only agree with that to an extent. There are so many emotional issues that can contribute to weight issues- are there things you need to deal with?

Keep up the good work.
