how to lose 100 lbs by next year?

im 251 and my height is 5'3.i am really obese.i want to join the national guard,so i need to lose at least 100lbs.however im not working and i don't have any money to spend on diet pills,program or fitness gyms.i also cant afford to buy any expensive organic foods.please help me.
i am also just 18 years old.thanks ahead of time.

i'm 17, 5 foot 1, and WAS 125 pounds. i was also curvy, short legs really thighs thighs and butt and calves. i know that may not be fat or anywhere near it, but i used to eat soooo much junk food... so i decided to start dieting now because i'm ony gonna be gaining more and more weight, and when i'm older i know it will be harder to lose weight, so i wanna start now so when i'm older i could have an extra slice of chocolate cake without worrying about it. you're only 18, you're still young, losing weight is a LOT easier for you now than when you're older, TRUST ME. my mother has weight problems and has a lot of trouble losing weight, no matter what she does.

anyways, i've been on this "diet" for only about two months and i'm already at 111 pounds. thats 14 pounds in two months, which would be 84 pounds in 12 months. keep in mind, i'm not doing a strict diet at ALL, so if you make it more strict, with more excercise, i'm sure you could lose the 100 pounds.

this is what i did.. :

i cut out junk this :

sugar drinks (iced tea, soda)
caffeine (coffee, chocolate)
fried food (fried chicken, french fries)
fast food like mcdonald's and chinese food
food like hot dogs, and ravioli, any kind of already made food
DAIRY (cheese, milk unless SKIM)

ADD MORE :

fruits (bananas, kiwis, grapes, apples, watermelons, etc)
vegetables (spinach, broccolli, corn, etc)
EAT A HALF A CUP OF BEANS WITH YOUR LUNCH AND YOUR DINNER! it WILL help fill you up! eat about 5 greek olives or 7 spanish olives with every meal! it also helps to fill you up!

eat only GRILLED chicken, or fish with no bread crumbs, just plain flour

eat more salads, with a little bit of feta cheese, olive oil and vinegar, and some olives, DELICIOUS! throw half a cup of grilled chicken in there and it's one of my favorite meals

you can have toast with butter, chicken noodle soup, grilled chicken with some garlic mashed potatoes, fish with spinach and beans, a turkey or tuna sandwich with lettuce and olives on whole weat bread!

for breakfast, try one slice of whole wheat bread with peanut butter and very little jelly spreaded on, a glass of skim milk or orange juice, and an apple. lets say thats about 8 am. at 11 am you'll probably be hungry, have a handful of pretzels and a few chunks of low fat cheddar cheese. at 1 PM have a salad! make it a big one! lettuce, olives, tomatoes, onions. pour on some olive oil and vinegar. throw about half a cup of chicken strips in there, and cut the strips into little small squares of two's or three's, so you see lots of chicken! yum!
OR.. buy whole wheat wraps, or spinach wraps (i haven't tried them yet but i want to) and put some grilled chicken and some red peppers in there. deliciousssss. really, DELICIOUSSS!!! cut the wrap in half and eat it. put some beans in there!!! beans fill you up!

you should be full, but if you're like me, and are always hungry, have another apple or a banana at 3 PM.

have a great dinner. a nice fat piece of fish, with some delicious broccolli and carrots. season them so they're yummy! have ONE nice fat pork chop, with a cup of spinach and half a cup of beans. make your plate colorful! trust me, i never liked vegetables but now i LOVE them!!! well, most of them, anyways.

you're allowed to cheat, but if you cheat, cheat right.
order a slice of cheese pizza from your favorite resturant. only ONE slice of pizza is OKAY if you have NOTHING else. don't get toppings, if anything add your own (i add olives on mine) and wipe off as much grease as you can. make a plan on when you're gonna have pizza. say, every 20 days. yum yum yum! order it with a water.
another way you can cheat is with a small bag of chips. they're only like 150 calories. maybe every friday night, buy yourself your favorite bag. eat it after an apple or another filling fruit.

ALSO, for your sweet cravings, this will DEFINATELY help!
cheerios with skim milk, and put one packet of splenda in it
i PROMISE it will help
every night around this time (midnight) i crave oreo cookies, with a big cold glass of milk, or a nice big chocolate chip muffin. like right now, i'm craaaaving it.
but instead, i have the cheerios. it fills my belly up, and the splenda sweetens it. have you ever eaten so much sweets, and than you see more, but you're like "ew, i don't want anything sweet anymore.." thats what the cheerios do for you. it's like eating a bowl of frosted flakes, but splenda isn't real sugar.

but if you're GONNA cheat, or you NEED junk food or you're gonna go to taco bell and order 4 tacos and a large soda, those are your two best bets, pizza and potato chips ^

i hope i helped, good luck! you can e-mail me if anything! i'm here to help

oh and KEEP EXCERCISING!!!!!! my diet consists of no excercise but it's not healthy and i should really start excercising!

Organic Everything... Is It Worth It?

From food, soaps and shampoos to clothes and stationary products, everything with the tag of "organic" is flying off the shelves these days!

While organic food accounts for just 1-2% of total food sales worldwide, the market is growing rapidly (by some estimates by 20% per annum) far ahead of the rest of the food industry, in both the developed and developing world. Small wonder that world organic food sales jumped from US $23 billion in 2002 (Source: Organic Monitor. 2002) to $40 billion in 2006. (Source: Organic Monitor. 2006).

Simply put, organic foods are foods grown without the use of toxic chemical pesticides. They may cost more (E.g. a jar of organic baby food on average could cost about 20 cents more than regular baby food) because farmers take extra ordinary pains in keeping their crops bug-free and healthy. This may be accomplished with the use of natural compost, manure, so that the crop remains pesticide-free.

Past studies have revealed that 77% of conventional fruits bear traces of pesticides, while only 25% of "organic" foods had any noticeable levels. New studies have linked pesticides to hormone disorders that can result in immune deficiency, chronic illness, even cancer among children. BSE, E-Coli, salmonella, food allergies, colon cancer, the rise in childhood asthma all have been linked with processed food and the use of pesticides and preservatives that are added to improve the appearance and shelf life-of edibles. One study demonstrated that men's sperm count increased when they were put on an organic dies, while another experimental group of women subjects showed reduced incidence of breast cancer.

Asserting that plants have natural defense mechanism and what protects them also protects us, supporters of organic foods assert that we kill plant's natural defense mechanism by spraying pesticides on them. It effect is the same as with an overuse of antibiotics.

Asserting that plants have the same physiology as human beings and animals, naturalists maintain that if plants are given some healthy amount of stress (say, the kind we produce through exercise or vaccines) it would strengthen their natural immunological response and they would be able to ward off diseases without the use of artificial pesticides. Imploring farmers to go back to the same cultural practices that they have been using for decades (before the discovery of chemical fertilizers and pesticides); these experts maintain that plants are evolved creatures, they know how to fight pests and fungus, they have secondary metabolics that help them fight disease. Keep a close watch on them, remain alert to all the signs and symptoms but don't unnecessarily interfere in nature's growth process.

Expose them to diversity and make them naturally resistant to disease, that's the basic philosophy behind growing strong, nutrient-rich, even with human beings and from available information, it appears that this message is going down well with the consumers.

Any surprise then that Whole Foods Market Inc, the largest natural foods retailer in the US is one of the most closely followed stocks by investors. Indeed the rumour is that the Whole Food's hawks products made by Mother's, but the actual distribution is by PepsiCo's Quaker Oats unit!

No doubt, big retailers are catching on the trend. London's Planet Organic, Europe's largest organic supermarket, draws 8000 people to its stores every week, including Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, Jarvis Cocker, Boy George, Richard Gere, Kylie Minogue and Sinead O'Connor, to name a few. Organic box schemes, which deliver produce direct from the farm to the customer's doorstep and doing brisk business with busy professionals, while the U.S. Department of Agriculture recently created a National Organic Program to set national standard for "organic" certification. And why not, when over 10% of Americans are now eating organic foods, with more than half having tried them at some point.

To spread awareness about the health benefits of organic eating, the month of October has now been declared Organic Harvest Month by the Soil Association, one of the largest organic watchdog body in the UK. Retailers like Hampers Hampers make the most of this event by delivering organic hampers across a mail-order service in the UK.

Time for farmers to cast aside their spray cans and growth hormones?
