I am short on MOney, so would like to know of any b0oks, or online resources I could use to do something right...I FEAR scales...and i am not going to join Curves until after the SUmmer, since I enjoy walking and swimming in the summer...and that should help me..but I need to know what to eat, how to eat...etc..etc...I don;t have the cash now to join WW or any other thing right now..I just wanna eat right and exercise and LOSE it!!!!!!!! Any help would be GREAT!!

Do you fear low carb? Because you can always buy the New Diet Revelution by Dr. Atkins. If you are against the low carb route than you can do low fat. I don't know of any books but I am sure you can go to borders and check it out. They will have tons of books on diets and what not there for you to look at. I also need to lose 50 lbs by nov 2004. I am doing WW though and I go to the gym 5 days a week. What ever you do good luck!

Re: Need ideas/hints/HELP!
I know there are alot of diets out there...but if you don't have the money to invest...my best advice would be to get a 'journal' and write down everything you eat...including measuring the food and putting in the exact calories...
to me thats what it all comes down to...calories...and portion control...
if you want an investment and something like WW is too much...check out diet power its a journal on your own computer...but it tracks your progress and metabolism...you try it for 15 days...and then it costs $50 for the program...its great b/c it has the food and the calories already in there...
good luck

You have plenty of time so just take it slow. They say that the slower you lost it then the more likely you are to keep it off. Swimming is such a great idea! You use every muscle and it's fun so you forget that its work. Good Luck!
