I believe you should consult an endocrinologist... Maybe you got active tyroid that need to be given attention... Tyroid problems affects how our body gain and loose weight... I have been 230 pound now I am 150... And go on a very strict diet and ask your doctor of what good diet suits you...

Hi,
As another suggested, please talk with a doctor.
If nothing is wrong with your bodily functions/system, then you need to buy a cheap calorie paperback book.
Look at what you are eating during an average 24 hr period. To maintain weight, with no loss or gain, for the average person, is 2000 calories a day, within 24 hrs.
If you are eating 3000 calories a day, then cut back, using your calorie book, and only eat what will add up to 2000 calories.
When you say "my eating habits aren't that bad", they really could be. But you willl never know, unless you know how many calories you are putting away everyday! Hamburgers, french fries, fast foods, contain most calories taken in by the average person every day!
Best of luck,
Fredg

Hey I have lost 37 pounds on weight watchers since January. If you stick with is you can lose 2 pounds a week. In a year that is 104 pounds. It's a great program.

Hello dear,

There are various solutions for quick weight loss and to lose weight in excess but always follow the right approach and right direction. As there are various diet pills are available in the market but but they are having their pros and cons.

So always consult with your doctor before taking any decision.

Best of luck,

Hmmm you seem to suferring from slow metabolic rate, as your bodyis not able to burn enough calories and fat is accumulating like anything. But don be so worried, ve faith in yourself and try to involve yourself in some more physical exercises. And don lose hope as there are number of ways which are safe enough to use for losing weight, and do not ever jump to different types of weight loss programs like using diet pills then fad diets, then low carb recipies, just stick to one thing and wait for the results, I m sure you ll be benifited.

Start calculating your daily calorie intake.

The rule is easy. If you eat less calorie than your body need you will lose weight naturally. There are people they convert every surplus into fat.
You might belong to this type.

All you have to do is buy more veggies and fruit don't drink a lot of juice unless its real fruit juice don't drink a lot of soda...eat only 3 meals a day and if your still hungry between meals eat a little snac like buy little cheese sticks but only have three or eat an apple or some grapes just don't turn you snack into a meal.and workout 2 a week
