In 8 weeks you can expect to lose between 5 and 10 pounds if you:
Drink water as your beverage of choice
Switch out red meat for beans and fish 4 times a week
Choose only 1% and fat free dairy products
Lose the sodium - by nixing fast food, deli meats
Learn what are appropriate portion sizes of each food group choice
At every meal have a 4-6 ounce serving of protein, 1/2 cup healthy grain, fruit and vegetable with one serving of healthy fat.
Snacks should run about 150 calories
Get moving - build up to an hour a day of cardiovascular or cardio/weight training and switch off muscle groups.
Some gyms will give you a 7 day pass and one trainer session to try out the gym - take advantage and learn.

does anyone know if medicare covers the cost of a gastric bypass? im 44yo and extremly overweight. i had to quit my job ten years ago because of chronic pain and sever arthritis in my feet, knees, hips and back. and because of that i can no longer get any exercise and thus the weight gain, mostly in the past 7 years.
a few days ago i started having a shortness of breath and i think its because my lungs are being compressed from inside by my large stomach but i got to thinking i have been constipated for a few days, and i took a laxitive yesterday and today while napping my stomach did a large 'gurgle' and it felt like everything was settling and i could breath easier?
i went to my doctor today and told him all this and he agreed its possible that being 'backed up' can cause these kinds of symptoms? has anyone else ever had anything like this happen?
