need advice/help!!

so i am from long island but and not living on long island right now i am upstate NY in a small town.

my problem is that i have gained 20-30 pounds within the last year and there is no good known gym in the town i am in i would have to go 30 mins away to get to it.

a little while back my mom bought me a gazelle and i tried to using againg but it just hurt my knees and doesnt do much and then i tried crunches or sit ups but they just hurt my back (and i already have a back problem from a car accident).

so i need a good and effective way to lose weight in a timely matter but also safe way to do it.

any ideas???

Re: need advice/help!!

I usually start a one wk fast - to prep my body since Im in the same position you are..

I lost 40lbs eating clean ( fruit and veggie and minimal processed foods..)) and LOTS OF EXERCISE ( I mean everything from races, bikram, gym, personal trainers, running 4x a wk) I really worked for it

but I always start with a juice fast for 3 days to week... depends how serious I am .......I only gain 15 since 2008 but thats crazy I got depressed and extra lazy....

I have so many events coming up so i plan on going back on the same diet Starting tomm

I am starting with a juice fasting then gradually work my way into a healther lifestyle...
After a juice fast, the body is more efficient. Digestion is better due to a cleaner colon. The colon walls have been cleansed of impacted feces, allowing improved absorption of nutrients.

WOW pumped to get my body in shape again....

WW. I lost about 65 pounds on it last year. Then I got pregnant, I'm still working on it. I also started running. When I started runnin, I dropped about 20 of those pounds in a month. The hardest part is staying motivated. Good Luck!
