Work w nutritionist: Recommend that calories burned exceed calories in. Drinking at least 8 8 ounce glasses per day is important for both hydration and weight control. Try to get in whole foods (fiber) as well as 5 servings of vegetables and 4 servings of fruit per day. Physical activity is essential. At least 8 hours of sleep per night helps. Get medically cleared before you start your exercise routine. Be well.

Medical wt loss: Since you are over 50lb overweight, you qualify for most medical weight loss programs. Medical weight loss programs provide treatment in a clinical setting with a team of licensed healthcare professionals including doctors, nurses and psychologists. Treatments may include counseling, exercise program, dietary management, medications, gastric bypass surgery and other methods.
