Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

I don't know where to begin. I am trying to lose weight and so far everthing I've tried has failed. I eat healthy. I am not an overeater or a big fan of sugar although I do have problems with too much insulin being released when I eat anything. I have just started Symlin in hopes of balancing my sugar levels and staving off diabetes. Weight loss is a natural occurance while using Symlin so hopefully it will work for me. I don't know anyone to talk to about what I'm doing.

Treatments

3 Hour Diet Working / Worked

I lost 21 pounds in 3 months but was unable to incorporate into my daily life.

Alli Working / Worked

I didn't really use it consistently. I think it would help to keep weight off but I'm not sure how effective it would be long term for weight loss.

Dancing Working / Worked

I learned how to line dance and did it for 2-3 hours 3 times a week and lost 30 pounds in 5 months without dieting. However, I had to have back surgery and after a year, when I moved I wasn't able to find anywhere to line dance.

Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked

I have always been a healthy eater so that isn't an issure with me. My problem is more about my blood sugar fluctuations.

Eat Less Working / Worked

I'm not an overeater so this has never been an issue

NutriSystem Working / Worked

I was always hungry. I didn't last a full month but I did lose 6 pounds.

Physical Exercise Working / Worked

I joined a gym but was so uncomforable going that I quit.

Weight Watchers Working / Worked

This is probably the best diet I've ever tried. The points system is really easy and all foods are availabe. I lost 26 pounds in 4 months but was unable to keep it off when I wasn't sticking to the diet every hour of the day. I think if I didn't have bg problems I could have stayed on this forever. In fact, if the Symlin does the job of controlling blood sugar, I may start this diet again.
