I am 26 and over wt. I have 2 kids and most of my extra wt is in the tummy area. What are some simple diet/lifestyle changes that could help me lose wt? And some easy workouts that can help tone my tummy a bit. Sit ups are pretty much a no go too I got a lower back injury in the ARMY that makes those SUPER painful. I need something that can help me drop about 40 pounds and 3 to 4 inches. I have a year but it still can’t be anything that is so time consuming that after working 40 hours a week it cuts too deeply into spending time with my small children. I know I’m asking alot but something to get me started would be a big help.
Yeah I agree with you I am not looking for a diet so much as diet adjustments and changes. Things that will be good for my kids too. I am not looking for some miracle cure for being over wt but a gradual adjustment in lifestyle that will bring about a positive change. And I don’t have alot of friends or family or money for that matter so this needs to work without lots of money and with kids.

I turned 44 today. I stand at 5’10" and weigh 245 pounds. I have thinning hair and as a result, I have low self-esteem. I know, without a doubt, that if I can somehow loose about 60 pounds, I would feel better about myself. However, the main reason for wanting to loose the pounds is a healthy life. I am searching for a simple diet. I cannot exercise because of a lower back injury. What can I do? What can I eat without starving?

Hi I am having a really difficult time working out because of my herniated discs, its not the weight lifting as much but it still does hurt. But I have had this problem for about a year and have lost my abs, i still have good looking arms and excellent shoulder and neck muscles, but I have lost my pecs and abs. Someone please tell me what alternatives, supplements, diet regiments or anything i should follow to lose the weight and gain back my muscular abs please.

I have been on a diet for about 1 week now and I have not drank caffeine since I have been dieting. I have had serious upper neck pain and its giving me a headache. Could not drinking soda cause this?

When I was 14, a disc slipped at the bottom of my back. Before this I did regular sport (especially netball), and stayed very slim as I burnt off all my fat and was toned. I was 5ft 7" and about 7 and a half to 8 stone. I was very healthy. After hurting my back I stopped sport for a couple of years, and am now too scared to go back to it like I did because I can’t play with the effort I did before due to the fear of putting my back out. I’m now 20, 5ft 7 and am getting towards 9 and a half stone. I really want to get down to 8 and a half. My diet is also atrocious, and also my sleeping patterns. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
