It's pretty easy to find the time when you don't have a job. And yeah, it kinda sucks to not have a job, but I figure my health is more important than working.
And it also helps that my parents haven't kicked me out of the house yet.
become a security guard, all you do is walk and check doors, throw in partolling entire pairs of stairwells of a high rise building (40+ floors) either going down or up, you'll elevate your heart rate. when i first started the job 2 years ago, i went from 260+ to 230 in 2 weeks, and i even ate more (sandwiches like a feen)
i recently bought turbojam and it works fantastic! 20min a day is all it takes. I didn't think i would even build a sweat in 20min, but after the first 10min, it starts dripping. i got mine off of ebay, it's a lot faster.
I've run out of notches on my belt. Peaked at 225 and I'm under 200 for the first time in years. I did it like this:
I didn't eat as much. Seriously. That's all the mystery there is to it. Instead of eating as much as you can to feel satisfied with your food, eat good food that tastes good slowly and you won't eat as much. Lay off the useless bag of potato chips at 3 in the afternoon. It's really that simple. It's amazing how much more energized you can be when you're not carrying around an extra 25 pounds of fat brought about simply by the fact that you eat like a cow.

diet is death to the body. Eating healthy is great, but starvation is not.
If you lower your body intake, you'll start losing weight--yes, but then you will hit a weight plateau where you can't loose anymore. The consequence of this is that you have also lowered your energy output. And then when you see that you aren't loosing anymore weight, you'll get depress and start eating and gaining weight again.
Exercise and healthy meals are the best way to go.
And yes, slow eating works, believe it or not. It takes about 5-10min after your stomache is full for your stomache to tell your brain that it's indeed full. That's one reason why fast food is bad; it goes down so fast that by the time you realized you are full, you've consumed more than you need.
Oh by the way, genetics actually play a greater part on your body weight than the environment does. 1) You are born with a set level of thermo-genesis/motabolism (the area of the back just underneathe the neck of a person with high motabolism, is usually really warm because his body is constantly burning food into heat). 2) People are born with different numbers of fat cells. 3) People are born with different numbers of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) which converts circulating fat into stored fat.
...So you can blame your parents, but this is not to say our environment has no blame.
"you'll get depress and start eating and gaining weight again."
Or you'll get REALLY depressed and completely lose your appetite and it'll work wonders since as depression can be one of the most effective causes of weight loss EVER.

I have never heard of a person not eating because they're depressed. That's not to say it doesn't exist, but I think it's probably not common.
Are you kidding?

I've had that... summer after I broke up with my b/f... I lost 30 pounds. It felt like there was a board or something in my stomach, so I never wanted to eat. Course it all came back when I got over it... and then some.
It's definitely not rare.

i stress don't eat so its pretty much the same

Okay, let me rethink that. Yes, I have heard of depressed people not eating. However, I think it's more common to overeat when your depressed. Also, I think when you're not eating, people will tell/force you to eat something whereas with overeating people won't tell you to stop.
But then depression has never made me not want to eat, so what do I know?
With me, nothing people said would make me eat more. It was like I'd eat to a point... of not much... and then I'd feel sick if I tried to eat more. It was weird... kinda makes me understand how anorexia works, not that I'd ever do that. My friends would always note that I'd eat half my food every time.
Anywho, I wish we had nice places around here to walk. My sister and I tried to go to the trails at the park and they were disgusting... the trail even goes by the sewage plant and whew... smelly. There was a sign that said "This trail is maintained by (some name)." I wanted to add a not in there.

I lost a third of my weight in about 4 months when I was 13ish through depression. I think it's pretty common because your appetite completely changes, you can't really be bothered to cook/eat and have no desire to take care of yourself. I think I also stopped eating so much to avoid having to spend lots of time with people, eating.
Good luck with your effort.

I used to go to the cafeteria at school and eat rice and corn only.... it was terrible, haha. Though part of that was that I was sick of the food there... if things like rock hard grilled cheese count as food.

A friend an I were just having a discussion that since joining uni, weight has been lost due to the simple lack of desire to eat hall food. I mean most notible I have swear I have completely lost my ass!!

Ours had good chicken nuggets, but that was only on certain days. And the rice was really good too. Other than that the only thing that they had every day that was good was the salad bar. So I agree that it can make you lose weight.

My theory is snacking is the key to the problem because while I was in Italy they served us a ridiculous amount of food at dinner and had decent breakfasts and lunches but there seemed to be no snacking and their people are doing better than us.

That's not a theory, it's totally true. There's no reason to down a bag of potato chips at 3 in the afternoon.

Woah, Wes, are you telling me you had no Italian ice-cream snacks?

Oh I forgot that. But still that's not that huge cause they have really tiny cups. Our nations' definitions of the word large are very very different. On another note what's with that pop in germany called mezzo or something like that. I accidentally got it out of one of those crazy high tech vending machines the germans have.

I have a new blog that's an update on my weight loss. Long story short, I've lost 65 pounds this year!
Rock on!
