    You do not need supplements or help from special diets.

    This is an excellent place to start:

    Goggle 'Optifast Shakes' it is a quick way to lose weight. You will need to have your Doctor perscripe the weight lose program and hopefully there is a hospital near you that offers this amazing weight loss program. I lost 50 lbs in 3 months..
    Safety! !

    1. Write everything down (in MyFitnessPal, of course!)
    2. Eat right, especially making sure you get your fiber in.
    3. Have some self-compassion — when you have a "bad" day, treat it as a problem to be solved, not something deserving of a punishment.

    That's my advice, anyway, although I've lost only 20 pounds so far… but I'm happy! :smile:

    Don't over complicate it or set such a time limit. We all lose at our own rate, what matters more is steady progress and steady lifestyle changes. Focus on the process; exercise and diet. Results will follow later but you will become discouraged and give up if you watch it like watching grass grow. Don't watch the grass grow, focus on the task of cultivating your healthy life and claiming the little victories every day instead. Then it falls into place.

    70 lbs in 12 months is just under a pound and a half a week. That should actually be a pretty doable number for you. Read around here and you will find a lot of people with great advice

    I've lost 70 lbs in the past 11 months, and I totally agree with the above post. Read those topics and learn.
