Ok. I'll admit I'm not the healthiest eater, but i have switched to drinking diet soda, and i take the staris instead of the elevator at work. I'm broke, so its hard to go grocery shopping (they cut back all my hours at work, i only have enough to pay bills). I need advice I want to lose weight, but its been pretty hard. I can't afford a gym membership, and right now groceries. My BMI says I'm over weight. Please help!!!

I've used every diet known to man but nothing worked as effectively as acai berry. I understand they say that pills do not work, but they certainly worked for me, and they've been showcased on CNN too. There's a free trial happening right now at http://dapunaps.thegmc.com , try it out, what's the worst that could happen?

Actually, you don't have to diet as such in order to lose weight, the one diet which really delivered for me is wu-yi tea, it can be checked out in the resource box underneath, they have a small number of free trials in stock, it has been featured in Reader's Digest and CNN. I worked off 30 pounds, it really does produce results!

BMI are stttuupidd.
they dont count your muscle or anything.
im fat according to that thing too, but really im not.
your probably fine !!

Hey there! This is the first time I have answered on here! My weight fluctuates often, but when I want to lose weight, this is what I do:
First off, I stop eating fast food (this helps with money issues too!) and purchase cheap food at the grocery store such as peas, carrots, chicken, rice, lettuce, fat free ranch dressing, eggs, oatmeal, etc.
Three meals a day, with a snack between breakfast and lunch. Another snack between lunch and dinner.
I also stop drinking cokes. Even diet cokes are harmful to the body. I love tea, and I buy the lipton hot brew tea packs, they are like $3 for a pack of around 32. I bought that in August and still have some. I also drink plenty of water.
Exercise is an important step. The other two suggestions help lose weight, but exercise speeds up the process and also tones the body (and you feel good). I would walk on the tread mil for about 30 minutes, three times a week. Nothing fancy, just walked without an incline, no weights, just simple walking. After about 3 months I lost 30 pounds. If you can't find time to walk, do a simple search on youtube.com for workout videos and do those 3 times a day for 30 minutes
Currently I am doing the p90x program, and it works very well! It is expensive (around $120) but I bought it on ebay for $100. It comes with 12 videos, meal plans (including a cook book) and the food is very easy to follow and substitute.
Good luck!

The BMI index is completely outdated and inaccurate. I watched Penn & Teller's BS show about it. According to the BMI index, Brad Pitt is fat!!!
If you feel like you need to be healthier there are some simple changes. I would start off by not drinking any soda at all. Putting to the side if it's regular or diet, it's extremely expensive. If you're like me and don't like just plain water, then buy the crystal light tubes that make up pitchers whenever they're on sale. I keep a gallon in the fridge at all times, and when I need some for when I'm out, I fill up a water bottle, or any old soda bottle. Not only is this a healthier choice, but it's also much cheaper.
Loosing weight is 80% diet and 20% exercise. Eat lots of veggies. Look in the Sunday paper for coupons for green giant frozen veggies or any other brand for that matter. Wait until one of your local grocery stores puts them on sale, and go and stock up using coupons in addition to the sale. Try to also eat lots of lean meats. Grocery stores normally put boneless skinless chicken breasts on sale for $1.99 a pound about every two weeks. Get as much as you can and freeze it so you have it available, and you got it at a better price. Limit your starches such as white rice, potatoes, and white bread. If you're going to eat a starch, get whole grain bread, or brown rice.
Remember to drink lots of water, and eat lots of fiber!
Taking the stairs is a great change. Try building up muscle, because muscle is what burns fat. Do walking lunges and squats for your legs, sit ups for your abs and push ups for your arms. You can also take empty milk jugs and fill them up with water as a cheap way to make weights.
Also, don't try to make a lot of changes overnight. Gradually make changes to your everyday routine, and you're more likely to succeed. If you have one bad day and eat lots of bad foods, or don't exercise for a week, don't let that discourage you, get back up the next day and start working back towards your goal. It will be hard at first, especially breaking the soda habit, but stick with it and after about a week you'll be over it.
I am a true believer in clipping coupons, and following store ads to save money. You can cut your grocery bills in half or more by doing this. Sometimes, you can even get things for free or next to nothing. I suggest going to www.couponmom.com It's completely free, has great tips, links to websites with printable coupons, and it will keep track of all your local stores sales, and tell you if there's a coupon out for the item on sale. If you sign up to websites like betty crocker, SC johnson, right@home, and coupons.com you can print free coupons out, and even get them mailed to you. Anyway to get your food and cleaners cheaper is great.
If you have cable tv you can always cut that off to save money. I use www.fancast.com. You'll be able to watch most of your favorite tv shows on there the day after they air.
Good luck with the weight loss, and I completely empathize with the money problems. I hope these tips help you out.
