Hmmmm…42 years old and still battling the bulge.  I’ve been on and off diets for as long as I can remember (5th grade).  I’ve gone up, I’ve gone down, but the majority of my life has been up.  I’ve tried every conceivable weight loss “gimmick” out there.  T.O.P.S. (Take Pounds Off Sensibly) was my first.  It was scary for a kid.  As I recall we met in this “warehouse”, dark, dingy, weighing in front of people, reading weights aloud (I shudder at this memory).  Needless to say it didn’t work.  I tried more and more things.  As I lost weight, I gained it right back…and then some. 

 

T.O.P.S.

Weight Watchers (multiple times)

Low Fat/High Carb (Susan Powter anyone?)

Phen/Fen

Atkins

Medically supervised fasting

South Beach

6 Week Makeover

Dr. Phil

NutriSystems

BeachBody (various workout and diet regiments)

Hypnosis

Numerous books, tapes, videos, gimmicks, etc.

 

I am done, I can’t do it any longer.  I don’t want to wait until I have serious health issues before I get weight loss surgery done and get control of my body and my life. 

 

I’m here to gather information, resources and the all important “been there, done that” from all the people who have gone through it all.  I’m most interested in the VSG.
