hi
welcome to the healthboards

Without knowing your medical history or your well being I would recommend that you consult your family Dr before going on any type diet/or just jumping into something that maybe detrimental to your health.

Do you know your BMI number?

70lbs is not to bad to lose, but it can be very difficult.
If you can figure out how many calories your consuming daily then that would help a great deal.

This has what help me lose my weight and keep it off but remember everyone is different what works for some may not work for others but this will be about as close as you can possible get, if you do this! and it will work.

If you find that out then subtract 500 calories from that number, if your taking in say 2700 calories daily then subtract 500 from that and then you should start loseing but you need to be precise with it.

If you don't lose after 3 or 4 weeks then lower the calories by 100/200 if you do this you will lose weight along with exercise and weight trainning.

When you get to your goal weight or desired weight simply Times that by 10 and that number will give you a mantance of daily calories to stabolize your weight.
IT HELPS TO HAVE A CALORIE DIARY OR A NOTE BOOK AND WRITE DOWN EVER THING YOU EAT AND THE CALORIES IN IT,(PERCISELY) ALSO A CALORIE COUNTING BOOK WILL HELP YOU IF YOUR NOT SURE ON THE CALORIE COUNTS OF THE FOODS YOU EAT.
get you a measueing scale weight scale, Most GNC centers have these, or maybe try your local neighbor hood grocery such as a wal-mart super center.

you will need to weigh and mesure some foods ,read the nurtion labels and eat healthy foods /protein helps ''curb'' the aptite and gives you the nutrition you need along with lots of veggies.
stay away from any hydranated or processed fats.
try to eat and think low calorie, and remember to exercise, if you have a problem with exercise just start off slow and just do what you can and in no time you will be feeling better looking better.

this will need to be a lifetime change for you because if you lose the weight and then start over eating its obvious as to what will happen.
With a little wil power and some good motivation/insperation you can do this.

BUT with all this said theres some people that just can not lose weight no matter what they do or have tied to do to me if a person has tried most evey diet out there and was true and faihful and only lose a few lbs then gain then lose gain lose most of there life, then according to your BMI and your health maybe it would be a wise choice to concider Bariatric Surgery.

Good Luck and I wish you the best on your weight loss Journey.
