This past two weeks I’ve been working really hard to get into a workout routine. I’ve got Runner Worlds books, and have started out well. I just have problems with eating healthy. I do, it’s just the fruits and veggies I replace the unhealthy snacks are just not that filling. So I am literally pigging out on apples, grapes, and Yo plait light all day long! So I was wondering if you had any healthy snacks that were filling for me.

My workout routine is to work out 3-5 times a week, depending on when I have softball practice. I try to jog a good 1 and a half to two miles, and then run walk til it has been 30-45 minutes. I also put in high-knee running and butt kicks. I come home and lift free weights and basically do twenty minutes of stretch and strengthening exercises.
I have been trying to lose weight so if you know:
-Any good meal plans
-exercises and excercise routines
-and any weightloss supplements that work
I would really appreciate it!

I am finally set on losing weight and I am needing help from people who have more knowledge that I obviously do. I am at 375lbs., 5′5″ female, morbidly obese. I have started walking briskly 1 mile at a local track every other day, eating Multi Grain Cheerios for b’fast, lunch consists of really lean peppercorn sliced turkey breast, celery, baby carrots, & grapes or Salad from Wendy’s w/Ranch, and for dinner a lean meat baked or grilled with veggies and if I need a snack I am eating 120 cal. fiber one bars (once a day). I am not enjoying this food AT ALL, but feel like it is a necessity to suffer to lose this weight. I just want some suggestions on food varieties that would be good for me. I am at the point in my life at 28 that I want to feel better and want to live and at this point, luckily, I don’t have any known medical problems as of yet other than the obesity.

I also want help on how much exercising I should be doing at the beginning of this and what exercises I should be doing? I am clueless. I have a great treadmill w/weights, but I don’t know when or how much of the weights I should be using or how hard really I should be pushing my body. I am an avid “Biggest Loser” watcher and see them pushing themselves to puking and I am nowhere near that point so should I be walking 2 miles? 1 mile feels like my feet/legs are going to fall off, should I push it? I just want to know where a 375lb female should start with a weightloss program that will prove to help and provide enough weightloss that I will be motivated to push on and keep on with it.

PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!!!!! Any advice at all would be great, I would seek professional help, but that really is not within my budget at this point in my life and I need help from real people who have been through this!! Also, please keep in mind w/recipes I only have a local Walmart to purchase items and most recipes tend to have products that I cannot get, especially with many fresh herbs,etc.

Thanks for all of your help! I cannot wait for responses!
