There are hundreds of thousands of weight loss products out there. All claiming to be AMAZING - especially at 3 AM. Only in the tiny print can you see that the “results are not typical”. I know personally that there are many people desperate to lose weight - especially if it requires very little effort. I also know that there isn’t any quick, easy or effortless way to lose weight permanently. Losing weight is hard work. It takes discipline, motivation, usually a good support system AND changing eating habits is a MUST. I admit - I have tried a few of the AMAZING weight loss programs over the years and of course, some of the more traditional weight loss programs. I’ve tried:
Weight Watchers
Nutri System
Jenny Craig
Right Size Smoothie
Herbal Life
Apple Cider Diet - I don’t remember what that was, but I just threw out a bottle of pills
Atkins Diet
Xenical
Slim Fast
Chitosan products
I’m sure there are many more - but these are the ones that come to mind.
Now, I’d love to hear what experiences others have had on any weight loss programs that they’ve tried. Please leave a comment and let me know what programs you’ve tried.
Thanks
- Lizzie

I tried weight watchers and atkins - gained weight with both of these; L.A. diet - didn’t lose, but didn’t gain, Rice House Diet - lost some (used it when I was younger and it worked great - but as I got older it was still too much).
My ex-doctor had me on diet pills for years and years - was able to keep weight stable, not thin, but not gaining. When I finally stopped those - weight packed on. Tried some other over counter stuff - slim fast, pills, etc nothing worked. Next doctor said I had a thyroid problem and I was on medication for about 5 years - felt awful, I could lose but only slowly and I’d gain it back lose a little, gain it back.
Current doctor found out I actually did NOT have a thyroid problem - off the medication and felt alive again (hair started growing again, wasn’t falling asleep all the time etc).
Finally just kept lowering my calories and exercise a bit — so far over a year I’ve lost over 80 lbs. It’s slow but it’s goig down. As long as I keep my calories between 800 to 1000 iI can loose - anything else I balloon up. My doctor and nutrionist both say what I do is just fine - even though folks always jump on me about it. But it works, and the doctor ok’s it - so I’m sticking with it.
Keep it up - you are inspiring multitudes!
