I started putting on a lot of weight recently and my bmi is now moving towards obese side.. what is the best way to get back to normal and be healthy?

It the same: As with anyone else: eat less and exercise more. You have to burn off 3500 calories that you don't eat in order to lose one pound. Make sure thyroid is normal. Don't fall prey to any of the tv or internet scams.
