Has anyone lost over 200lbs without gastric bypass and kept it off?? If so how did you go about it?? and what?

Question

were some of your struggles?

Answer 1

I've lost 100lbs on Weight Watchers and kept it off. There are struggles everyday. You just have to learn and teach yourself what's best for you and what you can and cannot handle. It's a lifestyle change, a learning process...it isn't easy, but it's worth it. I'll never be that heavy again.

Answer 2

A friend of mine did that.
1) exercise at the level that you can. Add to the exercise as you can. Just moving helps
2) have a buddy who will be there for you when you pick up the phone to order a pizza delivery.
3) eat all you want of a good diet.
fruits and veggies, raw, steamed, or sauteed
whole grains, not processed white flour
limited meat (preferable no meat)
some nuts, for omega 3, walnuts are good
water, water, water, use it as a food substitute
no dairy
no fried foods
no processed food, if you can pronounce it don't eat it.
nothing white
supplements could be Omega 3 and B-12 and

Here are some good ideas:
1. Do something that gets your heart rate up a bit like, walking, running, biking, and swimming.
2. Eat Whole, Organic foods like: Broccoli, Cabbage, Organic Brown Rice, Beans, Spinach, Sweet Potato, Apples, and other fruits and vegetables in their Natural State.
3. Avoid eating corn, white bread, white rice, candy, sodas, chips, and anything else that you already know you shouldn’t be eating.

Tone up the muscles:

1. Join a gym and get a trainer.

Mental Health:
