Need help asap..somewhat lost?

The diet can help, but if you feel you need to eat more, eat more. I'm not saying like 3 pieces of cake or something, but so that you have enough energy for the day. Put it this way: it takes you 36 continuos miles of walking to lose 1 pound. Say you walk 6 miles a day (running actually isn't good for you), you can lose one pound in 6 days. Jogging is OK, but walking is easier on your body. Also, try to limit drinking a lot, not just eating. Some of your weight is actually from liquids, believe it or not. Pace yourself, don't try to lose 10 pounds a week or something silly. It takes a while. So if you're losing 1 pound a week, it would take you 15 weeks, about 5 months. The diet should help to, cutting it down to around 4 months, if that. And don't start eating unhealthy when you've accomplished your task. I was in the army for 17 years, and it took me about a year to get to the weight that was required to be a ranger.
