Weight Loss Support?

I just turned 35 in March. I weigh a lot more than I did in college. I know what it takes to loose weight because I worked out a lot in school. My problem is "WILL POWER" !!! Does anyone know of any support groups or buddy sytems available? Also WHY does it cost so damn much to eat healthy but so cheap to eat bad foods? Can anyone help me find healtheir foods for affordable prices??? I use to be the guy women went out of their way to flirt with. Now I am the fat guy that women settle for instead of go after. I still have my health, looks, and brains, but I also want my body back and to be healthy in the future.

    Hi Drew, good for you that you want to lose weight.

    The healthiest way to eat, need not be expensive. Fruit and vegetables are the healthiest way, and should not cost too much. All food in moderation is ok, but to lose weight your diet should include a little red meat, lots of white meat and fish. Cut out fat-high sauces, pastries and cakes - your body doesnt need them...only your mouth!

    This kind of diet is very healthy.

    There are many web-sites for support, low calorie food and advice. Just do a search, you will have many to look at.

    Good luck ....you will soon be attracting those girls again.

    The formula for losing weight is easy - eat less and workout more - the issues surface when we in reality try to put that into practice! There are plenty of opportunities to fail in the big wide world don't you think?! The one thing which definitely showed results for me was wu-yi tea, it can be seen in the resource box below, they have a handful of free trials remaining, it has been highlighted in Fox News and CNN. I worked off 25 pounds, it definitely does produce success!

    Hi Drew, do exercises you want to do, like walk your dog or get a dog if you like them and don't have one, go body surfing and have the fun of catching waves at the same time as you lose weight.

    Or do core stability exercises, they are so much more intense on the body than normal aerobic exercises that it makes you lose weight fast, plus you could do some core stability exercises while watchin television of that suits you. There are some step by step exercises in the fitnessgp.com core stability blog http://fitnessgp.com/blogs/serge/hard-to-the-core-...

    also make sure to stretch before and after to get rigd of lactic acid and keep the muscle damage and pain away. Stretching exercises are in the fitnessgp.com main forum

    Plus eating, I eat what I want, but I stay away from processed foods, I eat real butter instead of margarine, plus eating simpler is good, try to stay away from overly fancy or processed sauces that you don't know what is in it. Eat apples for sugar to prevent sugar spikes which leads to increased food cravings. Apart from that ea big roasts in olive oil with lots of nice baked root vegtetables and other good stuff and do your corestability exercises and become the man every woman would want to carry on their arm

    Hope that helps,

    Take care from Josh

    your yahoo home page should have options for your page, i have dieting tips in mine. and as far as affordable eating....try growing your own vegetables...even in an apt you can get window box planters for things like tomatoes. which you can use to make healthy salsas...spicy foods increase the metabolism. betty crocker also has a low fat cook book that uses real food that is good...especially the baked oregano chicken.
