Need to lose a lot of weight, want support & suggestions.

I'm 21 years old, around 5 '4 - 5 '7 in height, and about 330 pounds. I'm thinking a good weight for me, according to my research, would be around 130-150 so I want to lose about 170-200 pounds. So far I've lost 10 pounds. I'm hoping to keep this up of losing 5-10 pounds every month or two.

I've been eating a lot less, a lot healthier, and have been trying to move around a lot more but it's hard for me to get motivated to actually get up and exercise. So basically, if anyone wants to talk about their weight loss and such with me are more than welcome to add me to help support and motivate me and I'll do the same for you. I'm online almost every single day.

A lot of weight is in my stomach, butt, and boobs... I want to go back down to a C cup so badly, a DDD is NOT working for me and I want to lose weight before I consider a reduction. I don't have a job or money to buy work out equipment or go to the gym, and no nearby public pool to swim at... So exercise ideas would be great. I'm going to start walking around a lot once it gets warmer and I do have an old cardiofit lifestyler that I try to use though.

It's great that spring is almost here, as you can begin to build a consistent walking program that you will enjoy -- and it will enable you to see progress in your stamina each week. Walking is a great exercise, and walking outside is very pleasant on a beautiful day. It sounds as if you are not tied down by any particular schedule, so you can develop a program that will meet your needs. I'd suggest you start with short walks of 10-15 minutes in the morning for a few days to see how you tolerate them. Then, add a second walk in the afternoon. After a week or so, begin to add a few minutes to each walk. Walking will help your fitness, your balance, your flexibility, and your morale. As you do more and more, you will gain confidence to continue and to progress. If you are watching your calories, weighing and logging food, and trying to eat a healthier selection of foods, you should also see more weight loss. One day soon, you will have build up enough fitness to branch out your exercise efforts and feel confident enough to try other activities. YOU CAN DO THIS. Read the many success stories available here on MFP for inspiration. It's very motivating. And, let us know about your success: we look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you ^__^

It feels nice to hear such kind words, I was planning on having a schedule and doing it with my boyfriend, he keeps telling me how he likes to walk around and now I want to do it with him. I'm hoping I can get a consistent schedule for both of us, if not I'll be walking alone in the mornings. I can't wait to see how fast I can lose weight.
