Ok, I think its about time I came out with this and just said it, I'm an over-eater and i deal with my lack of sociability by eating, there we go! said and done! Maybe i should say a little bit more bout my problem. Well for a while I was reallly skinny and then my mum took me to the doctor where basically she said I was underweight and all this stuff, and my mum and dad basically nagged me into eating more, so i thought "right, you want me to eat? i'll bloody eat then!" and so for the last month or so have put on like a stone and a half of "bad weight" as i like to call it, in that its fat tbh, and its really getting me down, i've basically binged on food and stuff and now even though i don't look overweight i feel it and am really regretting what i've done to myself.
I just feel bloated and horrible and now just want to try and get back to my previous weight of about 8st 4lb, which even though i may have been skinny at, at least i was happy with myself, i feel like my parents have basically nagged me into this weight and i just feel so horrible and am beginning to despise myself, my social life's a wreck as i'm embarassed to go out with friends and my clothes are beginning to get tight, so I just need to sort this. I thought that by signing up here and admitting my problems it's the 1st step towards a slimmer me. I'm hoping to drop the weight by the end of the summer, so i've got like the best part of 4 months. I was just wondering what you guys recommend really. I'm off school now, so i've basically got lots of free time for exercise and stuff and was just wondering if people could give me some idea of how many calories i should be eating and like any tips on losing weight from those who've done it before.
Here are my stats:
5'7"
Current: 9st 5lbs Goal:8st 4lbs
I am pretty active, on feet all day and now I've got all this free time i was thinking about walking everyday, there's the beach just down the road with lots of shingle on it, so i was thinking of like walking to the local town a few miles away with a loaded backpack, that way i get the benefit of a bit of aerobic and resistance training on my legs, plus i can just stick my music on my mp3 on and the time will fly by. The towns about 5 miles away, so there and back 5 days a week would be a pretty solid workout i reckon. I work weekends where I'm on my feet all day as well and lifting heavy boxes, so with all that thrown in how long do you reckon before i can shift these un-sightly flabby love handles i'm developing?

I also know this may sound silly but I'm thinking of starting a baked bean diet, I've heard that a few guys have lost a #%@&! of a lot of weight on it, like a stone in a month without much exercise so maybe if I try it and get down to my weight then swap to a healthy eating approach. I know in the long term its not obviously a viable way to maintain your life, but if i can just use it as a quick get down to maintenance weight then go from there surely it wont be bad. Plus if i know thats all I can eat i reckon it won't cause the dilemma that i've had in the past of not knowing what to eat, whereas with this its just so easy cos i've got the 1 option and can't deviate.

i'm not an expert when it comes to these subjects because i also dont know what to do. i've gone on so many food binges and it accoplished nothing but my feeling guilty afterwards. idont know what to do. maybe all i need is reasurence from someone for once. but no matter how much you or i try there will still be poeople who have something negative to say...especially parents. they may not realize it but they suck at dealing with their kids weight issues, which are more than physical. i dont know if they dont understand the emotions our weight causes us or if they chose to not deal with them...like they'll dissappear if they just take us to the doctor and make us eat or diet.

yeh i know what you mean buddy, but I've decided this is what i'm going to do, the walknig plan i mean. #%@&! it may even be nice if its sunny weather and what not, plus i can turn it into a little bit of a competition for myself. Like see how many miles i can walk 1 week and try and beat it the next, or try and carry more weight for longer. I mean i reckon at 2lbs a week, its like 8 little weeks really. It's do-able.

Hi there! Welcome to CPH!
Uum..I'm sorry, but I think the baked bean diet, yes, sounds really really silly. And unhealthy. I mean, the only reason those people lost weight, the only possible reason is do you know how nutritious baked beans ARE NOT?
You'd be a lot better off piling on the veggies, fruit, lean, meats, and whole grains. Check out the recipe forums for some great ideas.
Plus, how boring would it be eating baked beans all the time?
