Hi, I just signed up. Im 26 from Long Island NY.
I always struggled with my weight. But I gained alot of weight starting last year when my fiance was cheating on me,and got another woman pregnant. So I left him and our apt. During the summer I lost my job,and I'm still unemployed,never went to college. I'm living at home with my parents,single,broke,and alone.
Sadly during all this time I turned to food (I was big to begin with ) but now im bigger at 280!! and only 5'8'. When I met my fiance 4 yrs ago I was 220.
If anyone has any weight loss tips for me I would greatly appreciate it.
And how do u get the tracker thing on the bottom of the post?? do I paste it in??
Thanks!!

Welcome, I would recommend Dr. Ian Smith's Fat Smash or Extreme Fat Smash.

I'm currently on EFS, and it's very extreme, requires lots of discipline, but the results are rewarding.

I figure if I start EXTREME it'll be a breeze to transfer over to the regular Fat Smash.

I lost seven pounds (7.5) in five days, eating healthy and exercising!

thanks for the advice, im gonna look it up!! <3

Welcome! Hopefully this place will get you on the right track!

As for the tracker, you need to have made 20 posts and have been a member for 20 days to be allowed a signature to put a tracker in.

Hi, I am new to this forum as well...

I really empathize with you... As I have recently loss some very stubborn weight I
had been trying to loose for years. But within the last 8 months I was able to
lose those unwanted pounds. Yipee!

What starting making the difference for me after all the fad, loose 20 lbs by Saturday type programs. They worked, but the weight always came back with a vengeance...

The key for me was learning the exact mechanisms that cause one to gain unwanted weight.

Surprisingly I found that the amount of food you eat, is less important than what you eat?

I found that your liver plays a very vital roll in your metabolic rate.

What I found is that eating natural 'fat burning foods' will put less stress on your liver... To learn more about the details of how all this works, just let me know, and I can get a list of more than 15 fat burning foods that can help you get started...

By methodically phasing in the fat burning foods, over time; you will lose the weight... Let me know if this was helpful.

Regards,
Napolia

Thanks for writing guys!!! and napolia what is the 15?? im dying to know!! lol
