I've struggled with my weight almost my entire life, 7 years old & up. I love exercise, but seriously struggle with the food end. My highest weight was 282 in March 2005, went down to about 220 by April 2006 with the old-fashioned diet & exercise. I maintained/fluctuated b/w 220 - 230 for a little over one year. I was exercising 10 hours per week, excluding stretching, doing pilates, free weights, jogging, & Taekwondo. Ended up getting plantar fasciitis summer 2007. It's morphed into heel spurs & bursitis, now 15 months later. Very, very frustrating. My prior strategy was when I had a "bad" food day, I would just put in an additional workout for 2 one hour sessions in the same day. Now, I can only weight lift & how the weight's coming back! Even when I was exercising my little heart out, I still could NOT get under 220. Exercised to the point I injured myself. I don't see any other choice right now but to have bariatric surgery. I need something to help control food intake to lose weight enough where my feet will heal so that I can add back in the exercises that I really, really miss.
