First of all....let me tell you what ive done so far so it wont be like a really fat person telling you what you should do...i left school on psychaitric leave in May and thats when i decided to change my weight...i went from 227 (actually the heaviest id ever been was 234 but i dont count that cos i didnt start till may) to 212, which is what i am now. which will be about 3 months at the begining of august.

ok...so i can give you a few pointers on diet

1. NO MORE SODA!!!! ABSOLUTELY NO MORE SODA!!!! a basic meal should be about 400 to 500 calories....now imagine that you drink like three bottles of sprite a day. thats almost a full meal that added no nutritional value to your diet. and plus, you know you drink more than three bottles. so stop it...but if you cant limit CONSERVATIVELY or drink diet sodas. and be leary of juices and other things of the like...they are just as bad. I must say that while it isnt scientifically supported, my face totally cleared up of acne from ceasing to drink soda...or maybe it was all the water that i started drinking-

2. which brings me to point 2. WATER. lots of it. not only will you feel better, but you start getting full of it and thus stop eating binges at chow time. its been said that alot of times thirst can masquerade as hunger. so when you start getting hungry in between your set meal times, try some water and see if that takes the hunger pangs away-

3. which brings me to point three. start setting specific times of specific portions of your meals. do not continuously eat throughout the day because what ends up happening is you count that little snack (my little snack used to be cheese burgers) as apart of the previous meal and you think you eat three complete meals. but you end up eating like 10. eat at least every three hours and once that last bite goes into your mouth STOP FOR THE WHOLE THREE HOURS UNTIL THE NEXT MEAL. how many meals you eat is totally up to you...remember you need to at least limit your diet to 1500 to 2500 calories a day...you can ration those meals out any way you like. but they must be set in stone. i eat about a 300 calorie breakfast(usually at 9 am), 300 calorie brunch(12 or 1 pm), 300 calorie lunch(3 or 4 pm) and then round out dinner with the left over calories i have left or less.

4. portion size is hyper important. you could eat a giant bowl of salad and fruit and think your eating healthy...but even that can add up. i think a good plate is like 1/4 protien, and the other 3/4 fruits, vegetable, and grain. research it yourself cos im not sure. for procceed foods (which you should avoid anyways) you gotta put on your reading glasses...

5. Cos you gotta get compulsive with reading the back of boxes. read the nutritional value for EVERYTHING you eat. it is vital. my mom was eatting fig newtons and she said it was ok because it was small and plus it had "fruit" in it. i turned the bag of 2 fig newtons around and it said 250 calories. you must understand that many companies have caught on to the health craze and is making their products smaller while still retaining the unhealthy process they use to make them (because its cheaper). do not put anything in your mouth that you do not read. and i was gonna say no fast food but thats totally up to you. a guy was on the new because he lost a lot of weight by eating HEALTHY at mcdonalds for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (does anybody else smell that he might have been payed by mcdonalds?). note i said he ate HEALTHY at mcdonalds. those burgers and mcnuggets and to some extent subway are killer. start reasearching the nutritional value of that stuff. or just take the easy way out and DONT EAT IT.

6. and the last most absolutely important rule of a new diet. it isnt a diet. its how you will eat for the REST OF YOUR LIFE. you can cheat every now and then. but there must be some kind of solidarity. Dont call it diet. call it what you eat.

thats all i can think of. and about diet drugs...alot of em dont work, alot of em work but you gain all the weight back faster than you lost it, and very few work or offer some kind of miniscule result. its all up to your research. oh and dont give up. sorry this was so long lol

Excellent! Exactly what should be said. You should never diet because they do not work you have to change and adapt to a new lifestyle.
I was in the same position. I weighed 230 lbs when I started college and decided it was time for me to change and after my first semester I weighed 201 lbs and I felt so much better and confident then I did.

What I did was:
-No to: soda, cheese, ketchup, white bread, chips, mayonnaise, fried foods, sweets

-Yes to: water (lots of it), skim milk, wheat bread, vegetables, fruits, 5-6 small portions a day, exercise(45 mins of cardio 3xs a week) plus all the walking to class and to my dorm

Most importantly a positive attitude!

I lost about 50 pounds on the South Beach Diet. I'm back on it as of a week and a half ago. I'd like to drop another 15 or so. It's not all that bad. It's all about the good carbs. I haven't started exercising yet, but will do so soon. That obviously helps with quicker weight loss.
 
There are some fairly basic ways to change your diet to make it healthier. It'll be up to you which things are easiest for you to do, and which things you feel you can't part with.

Keep some basic rules in mind. Things like this:

* diet/lo-fat/light over regular
* grilled/baked over fried
* salt/pepper/mustard over mayo
* raw veggies always good
* no sauce over sauce

So what's that mean? Skip the mayo on your sandwich, and flavor it with mustard or a bit of salt instead. Get a grilled chicken sandwich instead of a fried one. Skip the croutons on your salad, and either use just vinegar, or pick a lo-cal dressing and use it sparingly.

Snack time? Air-popped popcorn with salt or other sprinkly seasonings, fresh cut veggies (no dip), or one of those 100-calorie cracker snack-packs.

And yes, exercise. Find something you like and stick with it. I promised myself I'd do 15 minutes a day of WiiFit, but I'm already up to 45-50 minutes a day, because I'm loving it and enjoying the results. :D

do you really get a real work out from that? i was reading a article that was being very harsh about the wii fit but i guess i would have to get an opinion of someone who uses it...|
 
Totally depends on what you do. One of the yoga exercises is "deep breathing". One of the balance ones is "Zen", where you sit on the board and attempt to not move at all. If those are the only two activities you do, then yes, you're not gonna lose any weight. :) But there are plenty of things to do on WiiFit that DO give you a work out. On a typical day, I do:

5-6 minutes of yoga/stretching
5-6 minutes of strength exercises
20 minutes of running/jogging
20 minutes of step aerobics

There are other activities that I toss in for good measure. The boxing routine gives a decent Taiboesque workout. The hula hoop is actually a good aerobic workout as well.
