Hey guys I'm Micah and I REALLY need to lose a lot of weight. I'm looking for a few people who I can email that can give me tips and can discuss general weight loss topics with me.

I guess my first question would be is it bad to boost a diet with something like a low-carb diet to start it out? Just until I see a bit of weight lost and start to feel better about myself =D

Also, alternative to running, what can I do in mornings for a workout? I live across the street from a park so basketball is an option.

Any tips on good dieting are appreciated =D

Hi Micah and welcome to 3FC!

We have loads of information on all sorts of eating plans here - http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/#diet-central

and on fitness here - http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/#fitness

As for me, I am a calorie counter. It is pretty simple and flexible. As for my workouts, right now I am utilizing my Wii 3 times a day, 5 days a week.

Good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle
