Within the last 10 years these are the diets that I have followed:
1995-Dexatrim and Slim Fast for 5 months lost 20lbs gained 30+ back within two months
1996-Grapefruit diet-all I ate was grapefruit and drank grapefruit juice for 2 months did not lose any weight because when I stopped drinking I would start eating real food and not be able to stop because I was so hungry-Dexatrim and Slim Fast was also retried in this year
1997-Weight Watchers-started doing this and bounced in between the losing of ten pounds and gaining every other week. Doctor put me on the Phen in Phen Phen and while taking the medication after two weeks I was barely eating and started getting severe stomach pains The doctor stopped the medication and once it was out of my system I had extreme weight gain because for two weeks all I did was drink water it suppressed my appetite too much.
1998 -Weight Watchers-started doing this and bounced in between the losing of 15 pounds and gaining every other week
1999-Weight Watchers-started doing this and bounced in between the losing of 18 pounds and gaining every other week
2000-Weight Watchers-started doing this and bounced in between the losing of 12 pounds and gaining every other week .
2001-Weight Watchers-started doing this and bounced in between the losing of 10 pounds and gaining every other week.
2002-April of this year I had my gallbladder removed and after that had lost enough weight to be able to conceive my daughter and with pregnancy comes weight gain.
2003-Attempted Weight Watchers again and had the same results as before would lose five pounds and then gain 6 back and lose 10 gain 12 back.
2004-Family started doing the South beach diet and was successful for about one month I did not lose any significant weight. But I learned to eat different foods but not successful with losing weight.
2005-I have cut my portions and started eating off of smaller plates and I have tried eating three meals a day with water in between and I have had no successful weight loss this year.
I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure and I live with headaches. I can't take diet pills, of any kind, because of some of the medication that I am currently taking. I have tried going to an exercise facilities, but with my weight, I don't have the energy to work a full session. My main reason, for this is so I can LIVE and be with my children-- to be able to play games and sports with them. They want me to do so much with them that I just can't hold out to do. Both of my children are active in several different ways, which I can watch them play. But as far as joining or participating with them, I am often seen sitting on the sidelines waving. I am not doing this to be beautiful. I am 37 years old and have been overweight most of my life. I am doing this to have a healthier, active, life with my husband and children. My doctor told me if I didn't have something done that I would start have more serious medical problems that could lower my quality of life, and that scares me more than anything. I have tried many options, and I feel this is my last and only option left.
