She should cut out all snacks and SLOWLY decrease her caloric intake. If she pushes too much to take everything off at once her body will stop burning any fat and even store some because it goes into a state of shock. Walking along with it, if she can every day or 3 to 5 times a week. Start out simple and progress the better she feels. Chances are she may be feeling pretty horrible the first few days because her body will be detoxifying and she may be a bit hungry.

Well, is she as concerned about it as you? She is the one who would need to make a change. And 178 pounds isn't always that big, it depends on her height, bone structure, and muscle mass.

Let her be. If she wants to lose, she will lose. Be supportive by not mentioning it and being a true friend by accepting her for her. Nagging her about her weight will only make it worse.

Have a heart-to-heart conversation with your friend. Let her know that you're concerned about her weight...and how it's negatively affecting her health and life expectancy.
If she wants it, help her get healthy. This may mean you'll have to do a lot of research about healthy eating and smart workout programs. Offer to workout with her. Help her to get into a regular exercise program. Go with her to the gym or on runs. Be there to offer support and encouragement. Remember, she needs to change her lifestyle if she truely wants to lose weight and keep it off. Eating healthy and exercising regularly are the keys to dropping the pounds.
In my experience, a lot of overweight/out of shape people get discouraged with fad diets and not knowing how to properly workout...they end up quitting because they're not seeing results.
Good luck...your heart is in the right place.

food pyramid follow it as close as possible. (find it on the Internet) Exercise, do some research and find something you both could do and enjoy. (start out easy) She is going to want to lose the weight first. (determination is key) FOR BEST RESULTS AIM FOR 2 lbs a week no more than that or its unhealthy and could easily be gained back.

I'm afraid there is nothing you can do until your friend is ready to lose weight. Then you support her by going to the gym with her, kicking your own junk food habits and picking up healthy food, and telling her she can do it.

what the heck is wrong with you!!!! i mean how old is your friend. unless shes like within 13-20.....thats alot for me. is she faaatttt????? or is she normal looking with quite a few chunk? or does she have alot of muscle. muscle adds. whatever you do...dont tell her shes too fat or w/e because that will most definitely crush her. believe me...its not easy being told that you're fat. just play it off....give her some protein bars and make sur eyou eat one with her and just i dont know but give her healthy things and let her know that you're worried about the food she eats. if she eats a lot of greasy fattening and high cholestoral foods...then definitely let her know you're worried..tell her to get a bloodtest and get her results. if her cholestrol is high....then let her know that she needs to start eating healthy or break it down to her that she needs to go on a healthy diet. AND PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT SHE DOESNT TURN ANOREXIC OR BULIMIC OH MY GOODNESS NO!!!! its gonna be so much worse for your. the position you're in. how you think of her. you're not even gonna wanna talk to her if she becomes that. you're gonna get into alot of arguements. believe me i went through 2 ppl like that. you're not gonna like it or them.

well, theres alot of reasons this could be happening,
1. she has a slow metabolism which can be speed up by eating the right foods and exercising once Daily
2. this could be due because of Thyroid or adrenal gland problems
3. Medications such as antidepressants that can cause weight gain
if it is nuber 1 so try and help her diet making sure she is burning more calories than she eats

first of all, does she even want to lose weight? If so, maybe you could excercise and diet together so she doesn't have to do it alone and has a higher chance of succeeding. Good luck to her.

How tall is she? You did not tell that. Are you the only one worried about her weight or is she worried about it as well? If she is worried about it as well then why don't you try walking, drinking more water, drinking less soda, eating less or more healthy foods. Hope this helps.

well tell your "friend' that she should just eat better and get active. and no, walking to the freezer to get a huge bowl of ice cream does not count as a workout LOL. walking every day or even every other day would not hurt. and water is much better for you than the hundreds of calories from sodas. just follow this routine and you i mena your friend will start to lose weight and learn to keep it off. good luck.

Number 1 she should only loose the weight if she wants too, but if she wants to loose weight she needs to eat three meals a day drink lots of water and do some walking or jogging or something like that.

Weight is not as important as BMI. Is your friend a 6' 8" male? Then your friend would be under weight. However, if your friend is a 5' female then yes your friend is over weight. There are many sites on the Internet to find a BMI. If your friend really is overweight, the best way to lose weight is to exercise and eat better. Don't follow one of those fad diets. Your friend should eat a balanced meal with lots of veggies and fruit. They should also do at least 20-30 minutes of strenuous exercise 3 days a week. The more often the better. Not only will your friend lose weight they will also probably feel better in general.

I received this yesterday:
From Steve in Kansas:
My wife has officially lost 30 1/2 lbs from using STACK. She has not skipped
any meals period! She began about the middle of March and has lost 30 1/2
pounds and lots of inches as of this morning. She now maintains with Nitro
Boost and the Ice Cream Drink. BTW - we still eat out in various places like
Mexican Restaurants etc. She still loses weight regardless. STACK works!!!

Mind your own business. She knows what she has to do and her family will help. You should be concentration on building her confidence.
She doesn't need some self righteous know-it-all like you pitying her. Look at your own faults fist.

Ask her if she'll go on walks with you as your workout buddy. You'll have fun chatting and will both get in better shape. Don't forget to change your route often, wear light clothing, and tell someone where you are going, just for safety.

If she's not worried or concerned then leave her alone. There is nothing worse than a friend trying to tell you that you need to lose some weight and more concerned about it than you are. It will only make her rebel and gain more weight.

I'm not sure that you can do anything about your friend. Losing weight is a mental thing. Check to see if your friend is depressed or has diabetes. She might need to see a doctor for that. Ask her to go hiking with you so you can both get a workout. Ask her if she is trying to lose weight because you are concerned. If you think asking might make her upset, then you are not as close a friend as you need to be in order to convince her to change her lifestyle to save herself.
