I have been trying to lose weight for about a year. I have been eating the right things, tracking my food and exercise, seeing a personal trainer, and have had blood drawn. All the blood tests come back negative for diabetes, thyroid problems, anemia, and whatever else they test for for weight problems. It is so frustrating! And I don't understand why if i'm doing the right things the weight won't come off! (And I do mean that literally. 10 pounds loss in a year is NOT losing weight! Especially when I was working out and GAINED weight.) grrrrrrrrrr! Has anyone else had this problem before? (link)

Maybe you just haven't found the right combination that works for you. Have you tried Weight watchers? I did it and lost 75lbs in about 18 months. It is a great program because it teaches you how to eat right and make good choices while still being realistic about the food choices we have around us every day. Its not a diet, so that's a good thing. Its just sort of a lifestyle change. It will teach you how to make healthy choices, how to treat yourself without going overboard, and how to incorporate exercise every day. And its pretty cheap. You can do it online for about $20/month or attend meetings once a week for $10/week. I suggest the meetings because its good to see people each week who can hold you accountable for what you're doing. Good luck. don't give up, and remember, even losing 1 pound a month is better than gaining one pound a month.

I have considered weight watchers. I'm just a bit wary about trying them, because I don't want to be stuck on the points program for the rest of my life. I know someone like that. She did weight watchers and dropped her weight, but now, she always ALWAYS thinks in points, even though she is at a healthy weight. Anyway, thanks for the advice.
