I was once quite overweight, and I know that the hardest part of losing the weight is just getting started. Once you get the ball rolling, so to speak, it's generally much less of a Herculean task than you thought at first.

The first thing you have to change to lose 70 pounds fast is to step back and take a long, realistic look at your diet. Are you eating pre-packaged garbage and washing it down with sugary soft drinks? If so, you might as well stop cold right now, or throw in the towel on losing that 70 lb The candy bars and chips, so full of absolutely empty calories?

Kiss them goodbye while you're at it. Instead, replace them with fresh fruit and veggies, not processed ones packed in sugar or salt water.

To lose 70 lb fast, say, in a matter of a few months, I strongly recommend including some sort of physical activity on a routine basis, several times a week.
