opinions, please? I have been trying for about 2 months now to lose weight. I am 5'1 and am up to 160 LBS already! I'm considered OBESE for my height! I want to lose weight, ONLY about 20-30 pounds, IF that because I am just getting bad with my weight and I've gotten TONS of stretch marks over the course of the last 6 months. I know I will be stuck with the stretch marks, and that they don't go away, but I don't want any more coming on due to my weight gain.
I've been on the Depo for about 6 years now. I gained a lot of weight when I got on it. This last couple of months though, it seems the weight gain is just excessive now. I've dropped down from 6 sodas a day to 2, and I've started drinking more water. I've tried cutting my portions down when I eat and just eat small portions of food through the course of the day instead of HUGE meals. I am working out every night with push-ups, crunches, stretching, and squats and I am NOT losing ANY weight!
So, a friend of mine thought maybe I'm just retaining water and recommended water pills. She said I should just take one a week with my workout instead of the directed one a day...
So, would it be a good idea to try water pills with working out also? Or no? And if not, what should I do to lose weight? I'm at a loss now! Thanks!!!
