I am in the same boat as you .  I get started and something happens and I get off of it.  My doctor put me on the Alli and so far I am seeing it work. Yo can buy it any were over the counter.  I am down a pant size in a little over a month.  I only take one aday  instead of one with each meal.  This is per doctor advice.  It will keep you in bathroom if your not careful with this one.  I take it with my bigest meal with the first bite.  It stops you from absorbing any fat from the meal your eating and so far I doing ok with it.  Hope this helps.   :cat:

I was haiving that problem some but I tried changing the way I eat.  I remebered the idea of chewing you food 32 times that was always being told to me when I was a kid.  I do not chew that much but I have been slowing down on how quickly I eat.  I found that about 1/2 to 3/4 ways through what I use to each for amount I am stating to get full.  Then once I feel a little full I stop.  I have been having more left overs and more in the way of wasted food also.  That is the other part that has been helping me is getting it out of my head that you have to "clean your plate".  I dont know about you but that was another thing drilled into my head when I was a kid.  I have also been doing I have a a small craving for somthing I will have a little of it and then is does not come back quickly.  If I deny my craving completely later when I just cant take the craving any more I PIG out on the item and just reversed everything that I just did.  So far just from the change in eating and the though of cleaning off the plate in a month I have lost about 10 LBs.  Now I just need to exercise more and really start dropping.  Also if you try this having little snacks like crackers or somthing small (low in cals) helps get me through the inbetween meals.

I have lost 79 pounds and I still need to lose 20-30 more. I had twins and a baby close together and gained a lot of weight for the pregnancies. Dieting  is really not easy
I have tried all diets. Even fad diets I shouldn't have tried. I wouldn't suggest doing any extreme dieting or fad diets because most are unhealthy and you gain all the weight back.
 I suggest the best thing you can do instead of dieting is portion your meals and drink more water. Water makes you feel full quicker.

How I lose 79 pounds the right way:

 Portion

What I do is I bought smaller plates or used salad plates when it  came time to eating.
Portioning really helps even if it's only 1/4 of a difference in the portion it goes along way.
I started off taking small portions of my meal off and then made it half the portions. I made sure I didn't starve myself and that I ate a sufficient amount.
Enough not to feel hungry and less then getting full.


Drink Water before meals
I also drank a glass of water ( approx 8-16 oz.) before lunch and dinner. This curbed my appetite and helped me keep hydrated.
A lot of people don't realize that sometimes their stomach isn't telling them they are hungry but rather it's thirsty.
Also I noticed while drinking more water my skin glowed more and acne wasn't a issue anymore.

Foods that help you Burn Fat


Eggs are super high in protein and can help you burn that unwanted belly fat. It contains vitamin B12 a great  natural supplement for breaking down fat cells.
Of course you can't eat to many eggs it would be harmful due to it's cholesterol levels, so only eat the recommended amounts.

Oatmeal It has plenty of Fiber which helps reduce blood cholesterol by flushing those bad digestive acids out of your system.
Only catch is adding sugar or sweetening it will cancel out these benefits. If you really have to just add fruits to sweeten which won't hurt you to badly.

Olive oil is one of those "good fats". In fact, it's so good that it helps you burn fat and keeps your cholesterol down.
I have a friend who takes two spoons a day because she claims it helps her feel more energetic personally I just use it in cooking rather then vegetable oil.

Apples they  absorb fat and also encourages water absorption from the food which helps in releasing the fat deposits from the body. The antioxidants in apples may help prevent metabolic syndrome and have other healthy aspects to them

Avoiding salt and sugar can shape you up very fast.

I have a lot of things I did to ensure I lost my weight and kept it down. I didn't do your conventional dieting to lose the 79 pounds. Diets always failed I always was tempted to eat yummy foods. So I just portioned and instead of grabbing a sweet treat I would grab a apple or fruit.

Of course on occasion I yielded to temptation but I made sure not to do it often.

I agree with you going on a diet has never really worked for me so I started to just eat more real food like more salad fruits and veggies and definitely I do the portion control thing also Congratulations on your weight loss keep up the good work 3 babies How do you have time for you  Happy New Year :notworthy:

I agree with what SyntheticBeauty - some other things I did were to keep a bowl of fresh fruit or a bag of nuts for snacks.  Rather than eat chips or cookies, I'd eat some grapes, apple or pear (if I was craving sweet) or a handful of nuts (if I was craving salt). 

What was said about drinking water is true.  The basic rule is if you feel hungry in the middle of the day, first drink a glass of water.  If you are no longer hungry after 15 minutes, you were just thirsty.  If your hunger goes away, then you no longer has the urge to eat.

If you drink a lot of soda/pop - slowly get yourself to drinking water instead.  How I did it was slowly switched a can of soda for a glass/bottle of water, until I only drank water.  Didn't take as long as I thought it would have.


Aside from food choice/portion changes - for exercise, the important think is to just keep yourself moving regularly.  I'd suggest try to find something you'd like to learn or enjoy doing and sign up for classes, or get friends together, or just go on your own.  I've done hiking various trails at state parks during the summer, took dance lessons, took skating lessons.  There's also sports teams you can look to join - bowling, volleyball, soccer.  Maybe look at volunteering for an animal shelter taking the dogs for walks - that way you get exercise and feel good from volunteering.  The important thing is find something you will enjoy, so then your exercise won't feel so much like "work".

Other thing about exercise is once you get in the habit, depending on you choice of exercise, you may need to add some kind of weight training.  Not necessarily to be a body builder, but gaining muscle mass helps burn fat more efficiently.  Once caution when you start doing this, since muscle weighs more than fat, your weight may appear to increase a little - if so, don't panic - just go by how you feel when you get into your clothes.  If your weight goes up, but you are fitting into your jeans easier - you are going the right direction.   ;)

Everything in moderation, and being consistent is the key.

Diet and exercise. It is really as simple as that.

For diet, cut out one or two things that you KNOW are terrible for you but that you can live without. (For me it was mayo and sour cream... condiments are a high calorie killer!)

Also, keep in mind that it is LIFESTYLE CHANGE. Anything you do you really need to be able to do every day. If it's too extreme you won't stick with it. Allow yourself to eat "treats" or "special foods" in moderation.

Moderation and balance are the key to a healthy lifestyle.

And honestly. The exercise.

The best thing for me is not eating after about 7 or 8 pm. I have a cup of coffee of tea at around 9pm and thats it until lunch time the next day.

Yes, water is great before meals.  Exercise at least 3 times a week.  Eat lean proteins.  Stay away from sugary drinks (those are a killer...I'm talking about soda, fruit juice (I only drink 100% Juice).  My brother dropped 20 pounds just from cutting out sodas.  He drank 5 to 6 sodas a day.

One thing to consider about weight loss and weight gain is your hormones.

If your thyroid is low, the weight won't come off as easily, no matter how much one diets or exercise.  Do a Google search on thyroid, weight gain.  Also do a Google search on Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome, which is sub clinical hypothyroidism.  Actually, what is probably happening is that the thyroid itself may be producing the T4 hormone (which is inactive), but it's not converting to T3 (active).  The T3 is the metabolism hormone.  Also adrenal stress and insufficiency plays a part in that too.  If stressin', then the adrenals will produce excess cortisol, which blocks the conversion of T4 to T3, and what happens is that it will make RT3 which is Reverse T3 (also inactive).  On the Wilson's Temperature website, there is a list of doctors (medical and natural docs) that specialize in Wilson's Thyroid Syndrome.   Taking synthetics such as Synthroid won't do it either, because the synthetic T4 will not convert to the T3.  The timed release T3 made by compounding pharmacies is what resets the thyroid.

Thyroid needs available iodine to produce thyroxine (T4) naturally, before T3 conversion.  Things that can block that are: Fluorine/Flouride, Chlorine and Bromine.  Do a search on "Iodine and the Halogen Revolution".  People's thyroids are getting plugged with bromine and fluoride.  Bromine is usually in breads and other bromilated oils.  See, iodine is a halogen and all the other is competing and getting stuck in the iodine receptors of the thyroid gland.  Mercury toxicity can also interfere.  Mercury comes from fish, dental amagalms (silver fillings), and vaccines (thimerosal).

Also avoid High Fructose corn syrup (in almost EVERYTHING nowadays).  Avoid artificial sweeteners such as aspartame aka Nutra Sweet.  Look up Betty Martini and aspartame to find out more.

Detoxification methods such as regular liver/gallbladder flushing, deep colon cleanses that remove the mucoid plaque (So Easy 3 Day Cleanse or Blessed Herbs).  Numerous sites on that all over the internet.  Liver flushes involve pure apple juice (organic), espsom salts, olive oil/fresh squeezed lemon or grapefruit juice.

Another thing is that most people don't assimilate their protein even though they eat lean protein such as eggs and fish.  There is an amino acid supplement that you can search out on Google, called Master Amino Acid Pattern and SON Formulas – MAP.  It is 99% Nitrogen utilized, and generates only 1% waste. What this means is that there would be no amino acid toxicity which is the main problem with over-consumption of Protein.  There is not much return on investment from an efficiency point of view with traditional protein intake. With MAP, the protein is absorbed directly into the lymph in 23 minutes and does not go through the normal processing route that ends up being absorbed through the small intestine. This pre-digested protein is fully utilized in the process of building new tissue immediately.

Do a Google search on that.  The best price is on Amazon, last time I checked.  There are many websites that go into great detail, and I read them all to get the info and then decided on which had the best deal.

Also, there is another amino acid formula, called Platinum Plus Amino Acids, which I originally took for my spine.  My disks were degenerating, and nothing would hold, so I got those specifically for my spine.  They go in and start rebuilding the disks within 12 hours.  A side benefit of that is also weight loss, which I found out in 2007 when my weight was dropping (25 lbs).  Do a search on Doctor Brice E. Vickery and protein deficiency.  You'll find the info. A side benefit of Platinum Plus is that it also detoxes mercury and other heavy metals, which is another reason my thyroid kicked back in, back in 2007.  And he has all the product on his webpages.

LL's Magnetic Clay Baths will remove heavy metals, chemicals, nicotine, and more.

I take both amino acids (but not at the same time).

And another thing I was using for low back and muscle pain is systemic enzymes.  Such as Vitalzym.  Vitalzym decreases systemic inflammation.  Overweight is also an inflammation condition, in addition to hormones.  I watched a Dr. Nicholas V. Perricone infomercial on TV back in 2006 and learned that.  Not only does systemic enzymes decrease inflammation, they also eat up excess fibrosis in the tissues, eat up scar tissue, eat up excess fibrin on the blood.  The main enzyme in that is serrapeptase.  Serrapeptase dissolves only dead tissues such as the old fibrous layers that clog the lining of our arteries and dangerously restrict the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain. Because of this, Serrapeptase is extremely useful in keeping arterial deposits from building up again after angioplasty (a balloon technique used to clear an artery blockage) or coronary bypass surgery has been performed.  Serrapeptase digests non-living tissue (fibrosis), blood clots, cysts, and arterial plaque and inflammation in all forms.  Serrapeptase is an enzyme derived from silk worms. It’s greatest benefit is it’s ability to dissolve amyloid plaque one of the main Aging symptoms in the body. Amyloid plaque is a byproduct of cross-linking of Protein and sugars in the body. This plaque accumulates everywhere in the body and is the source of much chronic pain in older people. Alzheimer’s disease is also an accumulation of Amyloid plaque in the brain.  Good for women fibrosis diseases such as endometrosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, etc...

Look up Dr. William Wong on Systemic enzymes.

Just the combo of the amino acids and systemic enzymes in addition of detoxing excess mercury, flourine, and halogens out of my body, is what got my weight to plumment.

Also, I agree on all of the above on proper diet and plenty of water.  Make sure water is pure (free from chlorine, flouride, and environmental chemicals, heavy metals, arsenic, etc...  Water distillers such as John Ellis, Waterwise 9000 for distillation.  For alkaline, oxygenated/ozonated, and structured water, there are machines such as Kangan, Jupiter, Melody and similar units which can be found online via a search.  Food is best organic, meaning free of pesticides and commercial fertilizers.  Meats should be free of growth hormones (steroids), anti-biotics, etc...  In the case of eggs and chicken, free range is best.

I know this is alot, but it's what worked for us here, and we did months of researching before we found all of the above.  There's more, I'm sure, but it would turn into a book.  lol.

Thanks to SyntheticBeauty also for all that good advise and everyone else, I am going to try to loose this coming year, my Aunt has challenged me to loose with her. I also know what I need to do, I just have to do it, I have a total gym so I need to get my butt on it, yet I sit here on the computer. lol.. It is hard I sit down at work all day, and my schedule is hard to get into a good eating routine, however, I will try.  I did already cut out alot of soda, and I have been doing green tea which they say is good too for weight loss.  My friend sent me a diet from Dr Phil, not sure if it costs anything, however the one day sample she sent was not that bad.  Thanks everyone for the tips and good luck...
