I am a male that is 45, 5 feet 10 1/2 inches tall, 235 pounds.

I wanted to lose around 60 or so pounds, so I started the Atkins diet. In the first two weeks of the diet I had lost about 6 pounds.

To be successful on this diet I had to cut out my carbs such as, bread, soda’s, potato’s, milk, and things like that, but had to eat a lot of meats and veggies.

I also walked every night as well as bike riding whenever possible. The diet got a little difficult when you had cravings for bread and milks and deserts.

But having the strength and will power to stick to the diet helped a lot. Over the years I have tried many diet programs such as prescription diet pills, over the counter diet pills, diet shakes and diet food plans, but none seemed to work as well as the Atkins Diet. Read more

I am a 27 year old woman. I am 5″5′ and currently weigh 230 pounds. I would like to lose 90-100 pounds.

I have had success losing weight in the past with the Weight Watchers Core plan.

I lost about 50 pounds with this plan before getting pregnant. On Core, there is a list of foods you can eat “until satisfied”.

Anything else, you can eat, but you have to count points.

This plan worked well for me because I never felt tempted to starve myself, then binge on junk later.

It also motivated me to exercise, since workouts helped me earn points I could then use for non-Core foods.

I also like Weight Watchers because of the accountability involved. Each week, you have to show up and weigh in with your leader.

After a few weeks, you feel like your leader is becoming a friend, and not losing weight would disappoint her. Read more

I am a thirty year old woman who is five feet two inches tall and currently weighs 175 pounds. I am working very diligently to lose forty pounds and get my body mass index down to the desired levels.

I was a gestational diabetic during my pregnancy, so I have structured a diet for myself that follows some of the same principles as the diet I was on before. I limit the carbohydrates I have at any one meal and eat more frequently during the day.

I have three main meals a day plus three snacks. It is not a difficult diet to follow, but it has required that I really think about what I eat. One of the biggest things is portion size, especially around breakfast time.

When I have cereal, I use a small bowl and if I have to, I measure the cereal to make sure I am eating the right portion size. I only allow myself to have 30 grams of carbohydrate at breakfast and 45 to 60 grams of carbohydrate at lunch and dinner. For snacks I can have 15 to 20 grams of carbohydrate. Read more

I am 150 pounds. I stand 5’2 inches tall. I am 28 years old and I am female. I just had a baby in November and I didn’t gain much weight but this is a far cry from the 98 pounds that I weighed when I graduated from high school ten years ago.

I would like to lose around 20 pounds. I do not want to go back to being stick skinny because I have learned to embrace my curves, but I would like to be able to look in the mirror and be happy.

I think that it would also make it easier for me to find clothes and for them to fit like how they are supposing to.

I find myself buying clothes to hide behind. I do not think that I will diet but I would like to start eating and adopting a healthier lifestyle. Read more

I am a 44 year old female and I wanted to lose about 40 pounds. In my 20′s I lost about 50 pounds, but I didn’t lose weight in a healthy manner.

I tried a combination of starvation, diet pills, illegal speed, and the Atkins diet and while it worked, almost too well, I eventually developed heart palpitations and ended up spending two weeks in cardiac intensive care.

Once I started eating normally, all the weight came back plus about 20 extra pounds.

After the birth of my daughter, I wanted to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight so I started researching a more healthy way to lose weight.

I first tried the South Beach diet, but all I could find were cook books which listed a ton of recipes, but no real guidance on how to follow the diet.

Eventually I decided upon the Weight Watchers program after attending an introductory meeting at my place of employment. The program offered at work was quite expensive, so I decided to enroll in the online program, which was only $16.00 per month. Read more

About six years ago, I’d gained a lot of weight after giving birth to my third son. I had never been what anyone would call “skinny”, my normal weight is 165, with me being five foot nine, but not being able to fit into my clothes spurred me to do something about it.

I started in January, when I weighed close to 250 pounds. I bought a bike, and started to ride the bike trail every morning for an hour. I’d heard somewhere that the more you sweat, the more calories you burn, the more weight you lose so I would wrap myself in plastic wrap, and then put on my sweat suit over it.

To me the hardest thing about excising is actually getting started, and when I don’t see results right away, I get really discouraged, but I stuck with it and it finally began to pay off!

I began to drink more water instead of the sodas that I loved. I stopped buying sugar and after a few days lost the craving altogether. Read more

I have been a yo-yo dieter for most of my adult life. Usually what happens is that something changes in my life and my weight goes up or down.

When it goes either way, it goes rapidly. For example, when I have fallen in love, I have lost a lot of weight because I’m more focused on the other person and not food.

When I have gotten depressed, I have gained weight because I use food as a reward to keep doing the things depression makes difficult.

I have also used medications that seemed to make me hungry all the time.

I have also lost weight trying different diets. I did low fat and lost weight. Read more

Right now I am a female who is 27 years old that is 5’2″ tall and I currently weigh 190 pounds but I’m also 7 months pregnant.

When I lost weight in the past it was right after the birth of my first child. At that time I weighed 170 pounds (after I had her) and wanted to get down some where between 140 to 150 pounds.

I read several diet books before finally deciding on one diet.

The diet I chose to do was the Atkins Diet by Dr. Atkins. I began the diet around the beginning of May 2001. I followed the diet which was not easy to do. If you are not familiar with the diet, it is a high protein, no/low carbs diet.

I had to cut out all of my starches and sugars which meant cutting out bread, soda, tea, pasta, potatoes (of any kind), certain processed foods, etc. Read more

As a child I was very thin. I never had any problem with weight until I was in my thirties. Then my body changed and everything I eat seems to turn to fat.

After my third child in three years all of that changed. I have tried all kinds of diets but I tier of all of them.

The TWA airline diet, the MetaFast diet, Weight Watchers, counting calories, counting carbs, Akins diet, the Ice Cream diet, Dexatrim, Cabbage diet, Banana diet etc. On all them I lose some weight for awhile then I can no longer stay on the diet and all the weight comes back. Read more

At the age of 61, I find myself 150 lbs overweight. As a twenty something, I was thin, blonde and a flirt. This is not acceptable. Jenny Craig was the answer for me.

As of now, I have lost 44 lbs and continue to reduce. Swimming has helped.

My husband and I swim three times a week at our local Swimming Center which has an Olympic size pool with 10 lanes for lap swimming.

The Jenny Craig diet was very easy to follow. I was never hungry and the food was good. The entries were supplemented with fresh fruit and veggies. Read more
