    The reason you dont lose weight is because you focus on your diet. if I say dont think about chocolate cake what happens? You cant help thinking about it or some other food. Think about how happy you will be when you can run up the street without wheezing and if you focus on those emotions and not food or lack of it you will take up exercise and enjoy it
    Who I am is not important. What I do is.

    There is a thread in the Arms which Murphy the cat runs for mutual support for people wanting to lose weight. They are a very friendly bunch. I do not “belong” because I have no weight to lose but I have sent a couple of people there and they have found it helpful. Details here but just skip to the last page an introduce yourself because it is a long thread:

    I think the easiest diet is the GI diet and the only reason I know so much about it is because I have a family member with diabetes. Basically you cut out anything made with flour or sugar and veg should be mostly green. There are links to it on the above mentioned thread. I know several people who are following the Zone diet and have lost lots of weight but the weight loss was not the intention, heart health was. It is very similar to the GI diet being moderate rather than low in carbs.

    there is a chat forum on this site, i know someone who has been banded by this surgeon so take a peek, read other people's journeys in the forum... it may help you to make your decision.

    I don't see the point in diets. :/ The word diet just seems like a temporary thing to me.

    Exercise is the key imo.
