Diet Tips

My wife is a heavy girl, When I married her 6 months ago she was planning to go on a diet and lose weight for the wedding. Also she is always saying that she would have to lose weight before getting pregnant. Even though we are not thinking about that yet.

To make this short the diet never happened and she has gained alot more weight since the marriage, She is always complaining that her knee hurts and blames it on the weight but She is unmotivated and eats the most unhealthy foods.

How do I approach this issuse without getting into a major arguement?
She does not like the Outdoors and In response to "tangerine" good song btw, yes I married a big girl,but I as well as her mother want her to loose weight for health reasons as well as others. I married her because I love her not because of how big she was. That doesn’t give a person the right to gain weight especially when it becomes unhealthy. Her mom asked me to motivate her in the first place.

i haveta go on a bland food diet for the next two months.
any tips for sticking with eating boring foods/help at all?
i’m not doing it to lose weight. its for health reasons.

Alright … Another weight loss question lol

I’m 5′o exactly and I weigh about 16o
I was at the doctor the other day and we were talking about my weight ..
For my height and age i’m supposed to weigh about 9o – 115 pounds ,
but my doctor doesn’t want me to go below 13o lbs because of health reasons …
I mean, no offense i’m a 42 DD (and it’s not because i’m overweight) …
im not exactly gonna go down to 11o and look normal, lol
But main thing is I gained about 2o pounds in one year, mostly because of a medicine that i’m taking (it can cause weight gain my doctor said)
Pretty much all my fat is in my stomach and a little bit on my legs ..

I’m looking to lose about 2o pounds, because overall I like my body type and i’m comfortable with
the way I look … I just want to lose the weight for health reasons (and ok … the small stomach idea isnt too bad lol)
but I understand i’m not gonna be one of those girls with super tiny legs and a 24 inch waist (nor would i want to be)

But i was thinking about starting my diet off with a colon cleanse (for one week – no longer, im too young)
and then cutting calories down by cutting out prossesed foods …
pretty much just eating fruits, veggies, salads, lean meat (like chicken)
lots of water … no sodas or sugary drinks

+ maybe 2o – 3o minuets of exercise everyday + strength training 3x week
( lol basic i know )

im pretty determined .. and i have strong will power, so this is pretty do-able for me

main question is … do you think that this is a healthy way to lose the weight ?
is there anything else i can do (minus fad diets or pills – not intrested in ruining my body) to help ?
and do you think i can drop the 2o in about 6 – 8 weeks ?

Trying to lose weight for health reasons; I don’t use pills or fad diets, just regular diet & exercise and I’m trying to gear my diet toward a higher protein, moderate carb, low fat style. Also would like to know which cardio exercises are the best at weight loss (I currently work on ellipticals, treadmill and stationary bike-not spinning). Goal weight: 163lbs. Currently: ~200lbs. Any/all tips appreciated !!
