    Sorry this is so long:)

    Start eating nothing but fruits and vegetables, limit your meat intake. Drink a lot of water every day to help flush your system. Just don't over do it, you can deplete your potassium levels by over doing water. Say No to anything white,i.e.sugar, flour, potatoes, processed foods. Say No to snack foods and processed foods. The more natural the food is the better it is for you. Baked, Boiled or Broiled is helpful to limit the calories. Chicken baked with seasonings helps to make it palatable. The most important thing you should do is go walking morning and evenings. Start 15 min. one way turn around and walk back. Doing this twice a day will get in 1 hour with out trying. Congratulations and Best Wishes on your daughters wedding.

    Whether or not you lose any weight don't let this great day, for your family, overshadow your presence on this special day. Smile for the camera. Good luck!

    Try and adopt a vegetarian diet. A vegetarian diet is undoubtedly better for those of us watching our diet. There are a lot of advantages of keeping to a vegetarian diet but I don’t want to sing an ode to vegetarianism now. What I would suggest is keep to a vegetarian diet as much as you can. Make a non- vegetarian diet a week end event or something if you find it impossible to give up eating all those animals.
