Weight loss solutions that have worked for people considerably overweight?

I am 20 years old and have struggled with weight issues my whole life.

After my pregnancy in 2006, I never lost much weight and now am considerably overweight.

I’m 5′7 and around 250 pounds. I am not looking for a “quick and easy” solution but something with long-term results for a large amount of weight loss.

Has anyone had any personal experience with losing a large amount of weight? What worked for you?

I am considering having some plastic surgery eventually (after I reach my goal weight) because once skin stretches out it doesn’t just go back, but I would like to avoid using plastic surgery as a solution by itself.

Any advice would be great, thanks.

Is there a perfect weight loss solution?

With all the advanced scientific research, has human not yet found a fast, easy, and safe weight loss solution?

Does anyone know any easy, fast weight loss solutions that actually work?

I’m looking for something that will really work quickly and i don’t really have a lot of time for exercise.

I think my problem also is I don’t have time to eat so I snack instead of having meals, or go a whole day without food and then pig out at night.

Anyone with any ideas to help?

Is there any GOOD weight loss solutions other than gastric bypass?

Something that actual overweight people can do…..

KEEP IN MIND everybody DOESNT overeat, eat junk or sit on their butt all the time, maybe overweight because of health issues… BE NICE!

I am 17 years of age and I weigh 180lbs and I am 5′ 10". I am trying to drop down to 150lbs relatively fast. I have tried many various weight loss things such as the energy drink "Redline", counting calories, and there was also some weight loss equation that I was told about that calculates your daily calorie intake to lose 1lb a week but forgot what it was.

Anyways, my main concern is that I dont know what little things I can do to help lose weight. Would drinking lots of water and eating only when Im hungy instead of grazing help? I know I might sound a little slow in the head do to my curiousity in this subject. But I was hoping that the community of Yahoo! Answers would help me out and recommend something to help me lose weight, or give me any input of any kind?

(ex. any pills, workout routines, food intake, or any personal things you did to lose weight.)

Thanks alot for taking the time to read this. It means alot to me.

I have been doing weight watchers and lost some weight but have not met my goal. I’d still like to lose 10 to 15 more pounds. I understand that’s not realistic to do in a week and a half but are there any diets that help you to lose a lot in a little amount of time to get me bikini ready for my vacation?

Whats a good diet plan for the winter? Without bein hungry all the time.

I am currently 14 years old and last summer my dad found out that the aneurysm in his heart had grown vigorously with-in the year. Knowing this we went on a diet that was recommended by the doctor. The diet came with a meal book that was FILLED with various recipes that are very delicious, filling, and healthy; we also walked every other night for 3 miles. My dad had surgery to get his artery removed and replaced with a metal one. Now we still follow the guidelines but after I lost 30lbs, I have kept at a steady weight. I lift 10lb weights for 30 minutes before bed and participate in PE at school. I would like to lose at least 15lbs in the next month. Please come with any advise.

The advice can be recipes, meal plans, exercises, or whatever else you can think of.

I`m overweight and have tried a bunch of diets (no workout though) but I’ve had no significant results so far. I was wondering about weight loss pills..are they really a good way to lose weight? No side effects? What other weight loss solutions do you recommend? Thanks!

a) eat conjugated lineoliec acid, green tea, 5 hydrotrypotophajn, chromium, pryavate, L-carnitine, flaxseed oil, high potency multivatiman supplemnts, 7 actey-7oixodehydro-epinadroesterone, dandelion root, bladderwrockk

b) Eat a diet of meals made from 75 different ingredients designed to gear your body towards, naturally flavored foods. Designed for athelets and medically proven to work

c) acupuncture + isometric excerise + physiotherapy + jogging

Under a limited budget, I can only pursue one of these three solutions: what do you think?
