I have dieted for many years and probably lost hundreds of pounds in the process only to gain them back. At the ripe age of 47 I am coming to the realization that the only way to lose weight and KEEP it off is to change my life style. I have to eat healthy and exercise. Plain and simple. If there was a miracle, quick way to lose weight there would be no overweight people.
It is almost like an obsession with me though, I am impatient and want 15 pounds to just melt away while I eat whatever I want. So I continue to try fat blockers, diet pills, fad diets, only to continue the yo-you effect.
I think the healthiest way to lose weight is Weight Watchers and a regular diet regime. If I am wrong could someone please send me the link for the magic pill please? :)
Have a healthy day,
Lorraine

It is a bitter pill for me to swallow, but I do it the best I can.
Seriously, it is all about lifestyle changes. Since you have lost 100s of pounds, you know all about a lifestyle that can help you lose weight. And since you have gained it, you (like us!) know all about the lifestyle that lets us gain weight.
There is a third lifestyle, the one that lets us keep the weight off. This is the one that we need to slip into after the weight loss lifestyle does its thing.
Oh, I know. It's so hard because it takes a lot of effort, focus & consistency. BUT when we make our healthy actions part of what we do day-to-day, it makes it so much easier.
I do it by practicing one or two health habits at a time. And I start small. Also, I try to make it fun as much as possible!
I haven't found the magic pill just yet . . . but if I do I'll be sure to announce here! :)
