I want to lose some weight, should I try the ...

If you want to permanently lose weight, you have to exercise.  There's no two ways about it.

I would not bother counting calories; instead I would concentrate on eating the right foods.  If you need some help in that area, check out: www.thepaleodiet.com

As for exercise, start with some walking and a bit of weight training and take it slow at first.

So have you tried the WW or other diets yet?  Hope you've had some success!  I wanted to update you on my progress.  As of a week & a half ago I've lost 54 lbs & 39" off my body.  I have to go get weighed tomorrow, I know I've lost more weight & am over 55 lbs lost.  I'm still doing the stuff I mentioned above, I do however slack off here & there.  It's ok to take a little break, but it's important to get back in there.  The complements & encouragement have really kept me going...oh and getting out of plus sized clothing is AWESOME!!! :)  It's funny, I can find clothes on the clearance rack that'll fit me & I forgot how smaller is actually cheaper than the plus sizes.  If I can lose weight, anybody can!!!!!

If you want to do it yourself.

1) Eat healthy, eat steam food, eat vegetables and fruits.  Avoid soda drinks, take aways and junk food

2) Drink plenty of water / green tea 

3) have 5-6 healthy meals a day (1 plate only) to stop the cravings.

4) Exercise, look at combining interval and strength training.  You can consider Turbulence Training as one form of exercise. 

Weight watchers is good - I recommend it often to my patients who come to me with blood pressure or other health problems

It's an easy to follow system and nearly always shows good results
