Hey I'm new here. I weigh nearly 300 lbs and I really want to drop weight. I know I am really obese and honestly I really want to drop at least 80 lbs.

Could anyone help me to find a great diet to drop this weight for good. I know their are many fad diets that help one drop lbs. fast. I don't want that.

Also what kind of work out would I need to do to help trim myself up?

Finnaly do those ab machines like the lounger and the cross crunch realy work..

Thank you

Try the at-home routine here under exercise program for a good starting routine. walking is an easy start, also.

eata wide variety of fresh foods - fibrous vegetables, lean proteins,whole grains.

drink plenty of water, herbal teas, diet sodas for sweets cravings.

Spend some time reading the FAQs section and the sticky posts in the nutrition forum, lots of good info is on the boards.

I think you are better off starting with an ab routine like basic crunches, you don't need to spend money on a machine to get a good abdominal workout.
