back in december, i was up to 228 pounds. this is due to a medical disorder called PCOS. long and complicated, would rather not explain it. but I made it my new years resolution to lose weight. 1-for health reasons, 2-becuase i am a musical theatre major and people dont cast overweight girls. i was getting kinda depressed. i've actually done a number of things. i got a membership at my local YMCA and i love doing strength training and the aerobics machine. pilates and bellydancing are fun ways to get fit too! i have started limiting the bad carbohydrates like sugar, cookies, candy, sweets and stuff. and i eat more fiber, calcium, raw fruits and veggies. trust me. you'll get there! i'm already down to 180lbs. it is possible, just stick to it and everyting is possible

weight loss is really simple, just eat less calories then you burn. and it does work if you're not under-estimating how much you eat and over-estimating how much you burn. it's the simple science of energy. there are things that can help you maintain a low cal. diet like meal replacements(i use slimfast) and eating a lot of veggetables...

If you plan on taking an entire year to lose 50 pounds, you can do it with just a few LIFE STYLE changes because that is LESS THAN 1 pound a week. Just eat a little less or buy fat free if you had been buying regular products, stuff like that. You said you don't like to exercise, but it can REALLY help. Escpessially building muscle, I know originally muscle may gain pounds but it's not at all fat plus muscle burns more calories than fat so if you build muscle you will burn more calories while doing nothing. Cardio is best for losing fat though, if you really hate exercise just jog during commercials, or take stairs when you would use the elevateor, just small amounts of exercise through out the day can really add up
good luck!
