What hasnt worked...

Well, I have been up and down and up and down and now up again working my way down. Ive tried a variety as followed but not limited too...

Lindora: This is how I lost 42 lbs last year and it did work. However, in my opinion it is not something that you can really live on. You are never allowed to have alcohol and you count your carbs and you get Vitamin B Shots. Its ketosis based and while it does work if you can stick too it, its absolutely not livable.

Weight Watchers: I have had success of and on while on Weight watchers. I had better success years ago when it was more balanced diet based rather then point based. I didn't really love the point thing. You have the choice to have this, this or that healthy stuff or you can have one big thing that uses up all of your points. Well for someone like me who already is in the bad habit of not eating breakfast and sometimes skipping lunch and having one not so healthy dinner. Well if you have a certain amount of points you can just use them on something yummy. So, that in turn.. doesn't work for me.

LA Weight Loss: I attempted to do this program for a short while, like a week until the hidden charges appeared. You have to purchase there protein bars and that was going to cost like $200. a month while it was advertised to be $7 a month, first it seems like a bargain then the hidden charges appear and I was out.

Atkins: Low carb always works and of course it worked but it was short lived. The moment you have a slice of bread, you bloat and all the weight comes back.

Biggest Loser: While I didn't actually get on the show. I did audition. I was first in line in Burbank for Biggest Loser Season 4. I did get a second audition. Unfortunately, I didn't get chosen and then boycotted watching the show.

Drugs: Yes, I have tried SO many drugs starting with Fen-Phen when I was fifteen. Since then, I have done many others that I honestly probably don't remember the names of them all. I have done hydroxycutt, Xenical, Relacore, Alli, and more. Some of them worked a little some did nothing. But ultimately, again, it was just short lived.

MD Weight Control: You start with drinking nothing but protein shakes that were not very tasty at all. That's all you have for a few weeks is the shakes. After a while, I started getting sick. My stomach didn't handle it very well. Like Lindora you also got the Vitamin B shots. Then they give you specific things to eat. Again, not something that you can live on.

What I am about to start now:
Food Lovers Fat Loss System
I just recently got my kit and I am very excited to get started with this. What I already love about it is that you seem to be able to eat like a normal person and still lose weight. I am 28 years old and I'm single. I still want to be able to have a glass of wine when I'm out on a date and maybe order something that doesn't make me sound obsessive. On Lindora I would order a Caesar salad, no cheese, no croutons, Chicken breast grilled in Olive Oil only. Then I would only eat half the chicken breast and do my best to measure in my head 3 cups of lettuce. Umm.. needless to say people didn't love eating out with me. So, now I will start this and chronicle my progress. Which I am confident I will have.
