    • Close Obesity

      I have gained and lost around 100 pounds two times before and now I am at the end of the third gaining cycle. I need to lose at least 100lbs. My true goal isn't to just loose weight,it is to reach a place where I can enjoy the day without thinking about food,weight, and excercise being the main topic of my life.

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      I had luck when I was younger by cutting out soda. But that led to cutting out almost everything. I severly restricted my diet to the point of organ failure.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      In high school (20yrs.ago) I would excercise 6 hours a day. In my twenties I used walking. Now close to 40 it isn't working for me as well.
    • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

      I have gained and lost and gained and lost and gained again! I am always looking for good advice and support.
