There's this cool site called <a href="http://google.com" rel="nofollow">google.com</a> an if you go there and type in things like "weight loss" and "diet", you'll find a wealth of information.
Sorry for the sarcasm, but coming to this website full of people that you don't know, most of whom are not medical professionals, should have struck your common sense as not the best way to go about this. As such, you need to see a nutritionist.
Go to a general practitioner (which is a "regular doctor"), tell them that you're interested in losing weight and follow suit from there. Most of us don't know your medical history and don't know the best way for you to go about losing weight.
Think about it. If you have a hypoactive thyroid, diet and exercise probably won't help you as much as the average person. And no, there is no way to know this without blood tests, so if you took our advice, you'd find yourself running laps to little avail. What about medications? Some medications cause adverse effects, since most of us are not pharmacists and do not have your blood work on file, we can't tell you what you should and shouldn't take. Maybe you have a genetic disorder, or a digestive disorder? Once again, how would we know?
My point is, don't go onto any website thinking they can give you sound medical advice the way a doctor can. We can give you suggestions, but no suggestion should be good enough to keep you from seeing a doctor, especially on a regular basis.
You just have to understand that it scares me when people come onto sites like this and ask for medical advice in lieu of going to a doctor. It's a very dangerous thing to put your trust into anons who have nothing to show for their medical expertise.
I am overweight!

Gah, sorry to be so harsh.
You just have to understand that it scares me when people come onto sites like this and ask for medical advice in lieu of going to a doctor. It's a very dangerous thing to put your trust into anons who have nothing to show for their medical expertise.
