Hi,
Iknow how dificult it is to lose weight. I used to have a size dress 10 when I came to live in the USA. But now, there is no way to go bellow a size 16. I feel frustrated many times but I keep hoping it will lose weight one day. Keep trying and hang in there. You will lose the weight with a good diet and exercises.

Look up Leptin Resistance.  It's possible that could be a contributing factor.

I can definitely understand how you may feel. I'm a mother of six, and two years after I gave birth to my sixth child I decided that I needed to take a contraceptive. After a year of taking birth control I went from weighing 132lbs to 185lbs. Loosing weight isn't easy. I have gotten down to 160 lbs by simply changing my eating habits. No fried foods, or sodas. I drink flavored water to help my cravings. Many of us have food addictions that we don't know about. Eating several small meals a day helps your metabolism. You have to incorporate some form of exercise into your daily routine. The more you exercise, the more calories you will burn. The less calories that you take in throughout the day the better your chances are of loosing weight. I have traded in many of my bad eating habits for healthier choices. It's working. YOU CAN DO IT.

I started taking acai berry with a colon cleanse supplement and I started losing weight. Its an all natural supplement that gives you energy. You can find it at walgreens, cvs pharmacy and other health food stores. My problem with losing weight was I was always hungry and got tired alot. I changed my eating habits and started doing turbo fire workout. It is fun. It combines dance and cardio. I enjoy it so much I forget I'm working out. I was 205 when I started and so far I lost 15 lbs. I try to eat at least two veggies a day mainly fresh not the can stuff and lean meat especially ground turkey. Dont get me wrong I still give into a craving every once in awhile but in moderation. I pick a day out the week where I eat what I want but watch portion control. Oh and drink alot of water. It is good for flushing out alot of toxins in the body. Hope this helps you on your journey.

I weighed 160 and I lost 20 pounds earlier this year. I want to lose another 20, so I will do my diet again. This is what I did.

Well, I didn't follow a known diet or meal plan. I just combined all the healthy eating habits I could. Like I ate much smaller portions, I ate more frequently throughout the day (some call it "picking"), I ate healthier food items in general and I was really strict with making sure most everything I ate was: low calories, low carbs, low fat, low sodium, low or no sugar, etc. It was hard reading the labels so much and feeling like I was missing out on the good stuff. But after a week, I was used to it and it was easy to stick with. I didn't really exercise, just an occasional walk or playing active video games on Kinect or Wii. But I did treat myself to something I wanted every few days without it messing up my progress. It seems simple and cliche but it really worked. I lost the weight in about two months.

Everyone is different.  My son who is 32 just lost 30 pounds in 3 months with the Palio Diet and exercise routine. I myself have a hard time to lose the weight. I eat healthy now and need to start an exercise routine myself.  I think exercise is important.

I agree exercise is a key in loosing weight. I have been trying to lose weight myself it is slow coming off but I am loosing it! They always say it is better to lose slowly anyways. I try to drink alot of water and really watch my salt intake because I know that is alot of my problem. I also try to eat fresh salads more often. Good luck with the weight loss!

1 - Eat healthy, well balanced food.
2 - Eat(small portions)every 2 (waking)hours.( If you go many hours between eating your body senses it is starving and stores all available food as fat).
3 - Don't use a weigh scale.  Go by how you see yourself in a mirror and use a measuring tape to see your progress.
4 - exercise in moderation(walking mainly).

I know it's hard to lose weight. You just have to control what you eat and do lots of exercise.

Diet and exercise. There's no quick fix. No equipment or special routine will work without your dedication. My largest was 210 lbs. I changed my diet alone and lost weight. I substituted white rice for brown and white bread for whole wheat. I added some more veggies and I did lose weight. I'm not where I want to be as far as appearance but that requires exercise which I kind of start and stop and start and stop.

Change your diet first (more veggies and whole grains) and stick with it and you'll see a difference. Work 10 minutes of exercise into your day just to get used to it and gradually add more time every so often.

It has to be a lifestyle change. There's no quick fix.
