hello everyone.i'm a 21 year old girl weighing 85 kg and it certainly means i'm morbidly obese. i've only a month's holiday before i start my university.is there any possibility for me to turn into a somewhat normal girl size.if yes,i just need some motivation to make it possible.my mom blabbers about me being fat[she herself is very fit weighing 42 kg at the age of 42] so she wants me to be like her.probably its one great reason what makes me feel embarrassed to exercise.she will sit in front of me to watch me if i'm doing the running on the tread mill properly and she starts telling everyone that i'm on a diet.all these depresses me and i give up.also i'm a bit too serious about my studies and most of the time i spend my whole time sitting on the desk cuz i remember things only when i write them down and writing is not possible when i'm standing.and i seem to have bone aching and crackings due to my heavy weight when i start exercising.another reason why i give up.i can compromise with the type of foods i take in but not the quantity i take .i don't take snacks in the afternoon or evening. i love all kinds of vegetables except broccoli.and i love all fruits except apple.but i know only eating less is not sufficient.eating proportionately is necessary. i've gastric problem so i can't starve for long but i don't mind having my diet on vegetables for whole day and night.is it alright then?if not can u be kind enough to provide me with a diet chart.and if you please be able to suggest some exercises for me,and offer me some motivating words to me,as my mom's words don't seem to be able my thick fat layers.a huge THANKS to you all for being so kind to go through all my problems.
 
Welcome!
It's important to eat a well balanced diet. Most countries have guidelines in place, this is a good place to start. In Canada we have the food guide and the US has my plate. You could check into them for nutritional information. Basically you want to eliminate sugary drinks and processed foods to start. You can make small changes to gradually get there or go all out. Whatever works best for you. Don't starve yourself as your body needs you to fuel it. For exercise start slowly with something you enjoy and will keep up. Good options are walking, dancing, swimming...a thing that gets you moving and your heart rate up. Resistance training is also important and there are many good demos on this site that you can look at. This site is very supportive and can help you with motivation and tips. Good luck with your journey! You can do it. :)
 
Hey, good luck with your weight loss : )
I don't know much about really good nutrition and exercise, for two of the biggest things I would say are:
1. Don't drink your calories...its crazy because I used to do it all the time. If you have an energy drink, a cup of coffee and a coke or two in a day, all of that literally equates to a decent sized meal. And it doesn't even fill you up. Swap for maybe a Coke Zero and shitloads of water.
2. Get up off your bum! Again, a really easy thing to say, but you're not gunna lose weight by sitting around. Start small, like what the poster above me says, and work it up. Walking is fairly easy and a good place to start. Maybe 20 min a day and gradually work up to 40/50 minutes an a time. The longer you go, the better it is for you.

The whole deal with your Mum sucks too....you need to feel good about your self while your doing this! This place is a good one to be...heaps of awesome people here :)

And remember, your not a 'fat girl', your a girl who has a bit of fat on her, which I think will be coming off very soon : )
Good luck!
 
some people have really slow metabolism reaction, that even drinking a glass of water makes them fat.. you need to consult a nutritionist for a diet chart.. he will do a thorough medical checkup, and will suggest you what to eat and what to not, depending upon your body type..

Good Luck :)
 
I don't know if this will help you but before I went on the diet that finally let me lose weight I started off with visualization. I would stand in front of a full length mirror and really look at myself and recognize that I wasn't happy with what I was seeing. Then I'd close my eyes and visualize myself with all that weight gone. I'd see what I looked like at a normal weight, and what I could do, like running and bending over easily... and laughing. I did this every day for about a week before I started the diet and every day I was on it ... and it worked. I stuck with the diet and lost 42 pounds.

It's something you could try!
 
I lost 20kgs when I was at uni, if your uni has lecture podcast downloads, listen to them while you're workin out. One thing i have learnt... there is no quick fix, personally.. if i lose weight fast, I gain weight even faster!

good luck!
