I need to follow a plan.. something I can print and follow to the T..
I have to follow rules or else I fail miserably. I need
a list of to do's and don't do's so that I can be successful...

Please help me... I have to lose 65 lbs and want to be at 130 by this
time next year. (which is a realistic goal). But I have to be told,
step by step, what to do. I need grocery lists and a designated work
out plan formulated by someone other than me.

I know, it sounds crazy.. but unless I have rules to follow I won't
follow them...

Can anyone out there my savior? My Knight or princess in shining
armor?

Help!!!


First, knock off the helpless stuff. It won't do you any good in any
part of your life. YOU ALONE have the power to decide what YOU put
into
your body. There are no knights, no one to save you, except yourself.

So, start your reading and research. You could try a program like
Weight Watchers but there's not a program in this entire planet who is
going to baby you. Isn't your own life worth the effort? It is only
when you decide that it is, will you lose weight and keep it off. Be
an
adult.

Eat less, exercise more, say no to junk food. Use www.fitday.com to
track your progress.

Check out www.cookinglight.com as well. They have great recipes there.


The mayo clinic has some sample menus in their nutrition/diet section.
Else there are a number of commercial establishments that will do exactly
what you want. Or there are books and web pages with menus and eating
plans.

It would be better if you could take responsibility for yourself, but if
that won't work ....

Or you could take the plan that I have done in the past and some on the
group seem to do and eat nearly the same thing in the same amount every
day, at least for a couple of meals.
