The commentary was a nice read, but it's not the way to start a weight loss program. I say this having lost 185 lbs in just under two years despite medical conditions that initially caused the weight gain and conditions that prevented me from exercising like most other people do.
The biggest step to losing weight is realizing that you do have a weight problem. I'm talking about a true weight issue and not one that is the product of a disorder or you have to loss three pounds to fit into a dress or pair of pants.
After that then you need to have the determiniation to do something about it, actually get up off the couch, understand that it's not going to happen overnight, that it takes time and committment, and, another biggie, consult a physician and have him/her monitor your weight loss.
Sure you have to change your eating and exercise habits as well, but that doesn't mean dieting, which is only going to get you temporary results, or having a diet coke rather than a regular coke with that super sized meal you ordered.
Not every weight loss program out there is fundementally safe or sound and more often than not can cause more harm than good. This one has some nice ideas, but not one that I'd suggest overall.
One final thought. For the person that said that he/she can't exercise because of stiffness and pain. Yes, you can. Workout in a pool. You'll find that such exercises allow for a fuller range of motion, more resistance without the massive strain of typical exercises, and a near weightlessness environment to train in. Yes, there's more and you'll need to research it as well as check with your physician.
