Commented on Feel Like I've Tried Every Diet Out There
I was able to lose my weight years ago by the Atkins Diet, before all those Southbeach, and other weird diets even existed. My Metabolism has actually changed, and I can eat more carbs now, but when you first start...

KiteKrazy, getting the procedures I did does not make me a Michael Jackson double. Last time I checked...he didn't get breasts, or a tummy tuck, so before you judge me, you can check yourself in the mirror. Maybe you want...
Commented on Struggling With An Eating Disorder
Irina, The same voice you hear about not being good enough, or feeling "guilty" after eating certain foods I feel too. I also feel disgusted when I feel full, but sometimes you can't help how much you snarf down when...

Be positive? Sure, but how? THe way that works for me is the book by Jon Gabriel. I found Jon's book and CD late last year. To me, it is the missing link. I have tried just about everything including many diets, weight watchers, jenny craig, tony ferguson, etc etc. I even had lapband surgery twice many years ago and still have an adjustable band in place but enlarged to the maximum. That is the only way I could keep food down. There is far too much focus on food and diets and way too little attention paid to the...

I think you just stumbled upon the key to everything...It's good that you recognize that your dad was trying to help but I can totally relate in that I have a mother with a weight obsession. Most of my life, with the exception of the last 7 years, I was pretty thin...at times even too thin, but she continually berated me about being fat. Now that I truly AM fat, she can't even look at me. Probably one of the hardest and best things I did for myself was to get psychiatric help. It turns out that I have a...
ErinNicole commented on What Keeps You Motivated to Lose Weight?
Hey girl, Everyone has different things that help them get or stay motivated. YOU have to figure that out on your own. What do you want more than anything? What are you losing weight for? Is there something that you want to do that right now you cant because of your weight? Is there a certain guy/girl that interest you and you wanna look FINEEE for them lol??? For me, I talk to my self in my head haha. As weird as it may sound, I do. When I am confronted with crappy food, I tell myself, it's not worth...
Andrew commented on Feel Like I've Tried Every Diet Out There
Tackling weight loss alone can be tough and scary. This is why I believe the key to successful weight loss is support and guidance through your journey. If you are interested in an online weight loss program www.ichange.com provides daily interaction, guidance, and support from your own personal counselor and nutritionist. As you input your daily food, mood, and exercise journals your nutritionist reports back with advice on what you are doing right and what you need to work on--all without having to leave your computer. Best of luck!...
