Walking is the best exercise for losing fat and ensure that your diet does not include any high calorie foods. Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. More details available at http://www.toloseweight.org/weightlos…

That’s a sort of insane goal to set for yourself… I would ask a doctor for real advice on this, and simply try to lose as much weight as it takes to make you healthy. Don’t do it for a single deadline, do it for your future! But seriously, regular exercise of any form, and as for diets, a lot of them suck. Everything in moderation. Try cutting out as much meat as possible, we as Americans eat way more meat than any other nation, and it’s bad for us and bad for the environment, believe it or not.
But ask a doctor!

http://www.crossfit.com go on the message boards, register, talk to the people there, their knowledge is vast and very resourceful. Many people there have been in the same situation as you, it’s a very friendly, welcoming and encouraging community.

Well, don’t set a plan for the pounds, set a plan for the amount you work out… you’ll have more control over it that way. I’m sure you’ll find a way, good luck in all this!

No problem palerose, if you have the will and the want, you’ll achieve your goals, that’s pretty much a prime idea in the minds of any true crossfitter. Hope to hear about you in the future on the boards.

I am in outstanding shape and I didn’t get this way on my own. You need to find someone that is in the same situation as yourself (won’t be hard to do) and go exercize with them. Keeping yourself motivated while exercizing is nearly impossible. If you have the money, you should hire a trainer. If not, get together with someone who is in shape and work out together. Motivation and consistancy is the key. You can’t do it alone. I am an Air Force cadet in charge of the suplemental physical training at VT and we always train in groups to keep eachother motivated. Only way to go.
