Nothing works.

My information is from someone who knows more about the subject than
myself so this isn't really my stance. Also I have tried Atkins. You're
making assumptions about me.

Oh and you're right about the link; I misunderstood the question.

Thank you all for the input. I have decided to go on the Weight
Watchers Core program.

I know several people who have had good success on the WW Core program. I
originally lost my weight on their regular plan several years ago but do
choose to eat many of the foods on the core plan.

Another program you might want to do some reading on is "Volumetrics". It's
based on feeling fuller on fewer calories. You might be able to pick up a
few ideas from it.

Yaj, could you list what you usually eat in a day? That would help us
to understand why you are overweight.

Best advice: Take a walk every day and try to walker longer every day.
Eat less but eat more often. It boils down to physical activity and
food.

In my case I dropped 10 pounds in 8 days since I stopped eating bread
and trail mix. In your case, I would not be surprised to learn that you
eat a bag of cookies or chips every day. Stick to fruits (apples is a
good choice for me), vegetables, chicken, beef and fish for a few
weeks. You will see the pounds drop. And buy psyllium in bag to get
your fibers.

The last time I had chips was in 04 actually, and that's when I weighed
less! What I end up doing is buying health food, and after eating it I
don't feel satisfied. So I end up ordering a pizza and wings, and share
it with a friend. When I did buy cookies (milanos usually) I would eat
the whole bag. If I were to guess I've done that about 4 times this
year.

I take full responsibility for my weight btw. I can sense a little
hostility (most people on the Internet are pretentious and I can accept
that.) but I expected worse.

It often takes time to find the right combination of food that will satisfy
our hunger and keep the calories at a level where we can lose weight.
Healthy food can be satisfying if you pick the right ones for you. How
about just eating more healthy food when you're still hungry instead of
ordering the pizza and wings? You could also work the pizza and wings into
your diet as long as the calories are within your limit.

Bad people do bad things. Pay attention to GOOD people, that will make
your life easier. I hope you did not find anything hostile in my post
We are here to help! I ballooned to a record of 200 pounds (at 5'8)
when I lived at my parents' house. Access to an unlimited amount of
cake, cookies, ice cream, etc. I could eat cookies even when I wake up
at night. I was lazy as well. I spent several hours sleeping during my
summer days instead of working or do physical activities. Now I am at
171 pounds, eating healthy and loving it! I play ball hockey sometimes
three times a week, and getting better at it and in a better shape
every day. I am 41 and in the best shape of my life. I don't want to
walk with a stick when I am 60. I want to play hockey until the day I
die. Some say I won't be able to do it, but I don't care a damn. No one
will stop me.

Yaj, Please stay and post often! You can REALLY be enpowered when you
post here and post often Best to you and please know that MOST of us
have felt like you have recently felt! you CAN do this! If I was able
than ANYONE can lose! I need to lose a bit which I have regained and the
people here help so much. So stay close and don't give up :)

You can still have pizza and wings. Why don't you learn to prepare them
yourself? They will have fewer calories and of better quality. Before
eating these, prepare yourself a V-8 with a food processor (I got mine
for $40) putting carrots, celery, lettuce, green pepper, hot pepper.
Eat as much as you can. Eat so much that you will eat only 50% or less
of the amount of pizza and wings that you usually eat.

I would even say, excellent! You need help. Someday, YOU will help
somebody when you will have succeeded! Don't focus on the problems or
frustrations you will go through. Think constantly to the new body you
will soon have. The present "you" is going to die. A new "you" will
born. Imagine yourself with a nice silhouette, and friends
congradulating you for your success.

You have got to start using some self discipline. As far as the hunger goes
eat more frequently throughout the day, but eat healthier foods. Try to eat
whole foods and see how it changes your energy levels. It will make a
positive impact. Then you do have to start exercising asap.

No one said it was easy, but you can do it if you put your mind to it.

I can't eat in moderation. I tried. I can't go on Atkins because it has
bad effects with my medication (doctor said it would. he might be wrong
but i'll take his opinion over my own) I tried Dean Ornish but it's way
too restrictive for me. I tried the GI diet but I don't understand some
of their instructions ("The diet's not about portion sizes" that's bs.
it is!)
any advice?

little information on me:

i'm 332 pounds at 5'6. i'm male.
