Weight Loss and Excercise

Question
Rev. Abbott----
    About one year ago I had lost about 35 lbs in three months by doing excessive excercising and intense calorie cuts. I usually worked out everyday, if not every other day. I was able to keep the weight off up until about 2 months ago. I noticed I started gaining weight back. This was due to not excercising as much because of college and scheduling. I have gained about 15 lbs back so far and I am disgusted everytime i see my body. I've had self-conscious issues for a LONG time. anyways, I just didnt take as good care of myself and ate whatever i wanted and now the weight is coming back on. I do  not want to gain any more weight and I just need some advice on what to do. I do not want to go back to starving myself everyday and excercising everyday so that I feel worn out all the time. School takes up a lot of time, too, so i cant work out EVERY day. I want to lose about 30 more lbs total and tone up and gain lean muscle. But i dont like going to public gyms to lift weight and i cant hire a personal trainer or buy those expensive home gym sets. What should I do? What should I eat? Please help me. Also, I am 18years old and I used to be overweight. I am 5'10" and weight 165 lbs. I used to weight about 190 lbs before and I noticed my skin was a bit saggy/soft from the fat i used to have. I do not know if I have stretched skin, but I want to know if I can tone it back nice and tight. How can I do this, if i can? What is ur opinion?
Thank You,
Mauricio.  

Answer
If you're like approximately 99% of ALL dieters who lose weight the way you did, you can expect all of the lost weight to return, with an additional 20%.

 Not good news is it?

It's why diets do NOT work and why the average weight of the population continues to grow out of hand, year after year.
 If you try again to lose weight the same way you did it before, you'll not only get even heavier, but have a nearly impossible time of it the NEXT time you try to lose. Habitual dieting is one of the most common denominators among people suffering from obesity.

You don't need a diet and you don't a formal exercise regimen.  What you DO need is to eat regularly and the right foods. Just increase activity by walking, volunteer for activities, stick some headphones on and dance around with regular soup cans in hand, put a kickboxing/tae bo instructional video in, take stairs instead of elevators, park as far from entrances as you can, etc..  Your most expensive and most reliable exercise device is a pedometer. You can get them for less than $10 in many stores - and your goal is to hit 10,000 steps in a day.
 Don't try to hit that all at once - otherwise it's difficult to maintain. Most people start at about 2,000 steps the first few weeks and build up.

Check my site for more FREE info on how to do this without having it go backwards on you and result in weight gain.

BTW, skin takes time. You lost weight awfully fast - the excess skin is just another reason that's a bad idea.  The GOOD news is that at your age, it WILL snap back, just give it time.
