Overcoming Obesity

Have any of you tried Herbalife? Its food and has a good reputation to help people lose, gain or maintain their weight, health and fitness. Maybe it would be worth considering rather than trying to find out what works and what doesn't, they have a track record of great solutions. Seek out what is called a Weight Loss Challenge in your area. I'm only trying to help, there are lots of companies out there to compete. Try this one you might like what you lose. I tried Herbalife, I weighed 222 pounds, and lost 37 pounds in three months being on their program was very pleased with the result I got!

I too am in the same boat. I have gained 50 pounds since menopause, lost 20 on Atkins and gained it back. Nothing seems to work - tried Jenny craig, NutriSystem etc. When I look at my odler relatives, I see the genetics.

I walk 45 minutes a day 6 days a week. My doctor describes me as fit although I too am on blood pressure meds. I am okay with the diabetes things, but have been told to watch my sugar.
My motivation to you is this - do what you can every day as far as exercise goes, Try to find a walking buddy- I have and it works. Remember, that when you are exercising, even though the pounds are not dropping, you are becomming more fit on the inside. I know we want the scale to show a loss right now, but I really do feel that in time, it will come. Hang in there. You can do it We started with 25 min walks and are ready to go to 1 hour. It's been 6 months since we started walking.

Take care.

Buy these books on Amazon or at your bookstore. I have gotten off 5 blood pressure pills a day and have regained my health after reading these books and changing my diet. You can do the same! I am so excited about this new information and am just a bit sad that I spent almost 56 years of life eating foods that were not healthy, and I didn't even realize it. Good luck to you.

Please don't think I know it all, but I've been able to lose a steady pound a week by just reminding myself (and following thru) - do not eat bread, potatoes, bakery and anything with flour in it. There are a few other surprising foods that I did not know about like watermelon (loaded with sugar) but who has the opp to eat watermelon everyday so don't stress over that. I walk everyday and just seek out the simple things to eat. It works!

When I began preparing for gastric bypass surgery, I found that cutting out all carbohydrates....that is all flour and sugar products.....was the best and easiest way! I only got carbs from fruits and vegetables. I also made sure to get atleast 60 to 100 grams of protein daily. From July '07 to May '08 I lost over 80 lbs!
