as a red-blooded adult who has lost and gained 30 over 4 times and has struggles his whole life with weight problems i can see where you are coming from. i am not sure if i can help you. but i can tell you is the story of how i lost and kept off 50 pounds. what i did that really helped my out was going to a doctor and asking him how many calories i should be eating a day with moderate exorcise (walking 3 miles). the doctor placed me at around 1400-2000 calories. on average i consumed over 1350 calories a day. none of those calories came from junk food i completely cut that out of my life. in the mornings i would grab my dog and go for a brisk or casual walk around my local nature trail. after i got come i would drink as much water as i wanted (water helps a lot when losing weight). believe it or not the most helpful thing i did when losing weight was eating right (no junk food) and moderate exorcise. if every healthy person followed this healthy life style they will lose weight. no exceptions. period. there are no excuses for a healthy person to not be losing weight. i hope you the best of luck!
is the reason why i can't lose weight and keep it off because of my family history of obesity? . i am a 19 year old female i have 1 child who is 14 months old. at one point after my child was born i was exercising 5 times a day and on a strict diet plan for 4 months. i only lost 15lbs during this time. after that 4 months i was only able to work out once a day and still on the same diet i gained half the weight back. my family is anywhere between 200 and 400lbs please help before it gets worse i currently weigh 220lbs.
