[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just realized that I have 50 pounds of extra weight to lose.  :(  Some of it is baby weight, some of it is pre-baby weight. I really want to lose at least 20 fairly quickly in order to feel and look better. I'm 5'11 and 215#. I'd like to get to 180, preferably 170.

What is the quickest, healthiest, and cheapest way to lose the weight?

~I have a 6 month old; I'm a stay at home mom.
~We eat clean/healthy.
~I'm a sugar addict! I know I need to cut my sugar intake by 75%! 
~No extra income for gym/trainer/weight watchers
~I'm not a runner, but I am a stellar walker!

This is such a hard realization. I didn't know I had that much to lose. Advice? Support?

OP there is no quick fix to permanent and healthy weightloss.  Like you said, cut out the sugar. And you don't need an expensive trainer or gym.  [b]Walking is a great workout [/b]so long as you mix it up with hills and walk at a good clip.  Also Get on Youtube and search for at home workout routines where you use just your own body weight as resistance.  And put your workout on your daily calendar just like you would a doctor's appointment.

Do not weigh yourself every day.  Cut out alcohol. Eat small portions throughout the day, and include healthy fats...none of that fat-free crap.  You must eat fat to lose weight.  Eat slowly, enjoy your food and stop eating when you're full.

If you do what I suggested, you should lose 20lbs in about 8 weeks.

Agree with everything you say except for the part about walking being a great workout.  It's not even a workout.

A workout involves getting your heart rate up or lifting heavy.  If you don't want to lift, run! And run sprints![/quote]
