Umm what can i say. I've been heavy pretty much my whole life. Taller and heavier than most of my peers. Yay, i stood out even more...
My mother is overwieght as is my middle sister, my youngest sister is some sort of genetic freak and is a stick of a girl.. Both my maternal and paternal grandmothers have/had diabetes, which means i'm at super extra risk for it. My mother has high blood pressure and recently developped diabetes herself. My paternal grandmother died from complications due to not taking care of her diabetes when i was probably about 12.
I've tried Atkins..and lost 25lbs in 2 months. But i'm a carb whore and i couldn't stay on that bandwagon. I've tried slimfast/nutrisystem, but i was left hungry. I can't afford jenny craig/weight watchers, and i probably would eat through the portions they gave anyway. I have tried the diet and regular exercise as well. For about 8 months i went to the gym for 2hrs 5-6 times a week doing cardio and weights and lost 21lbs. At the time i was at my lightest in the past 10 years, that was just after highschool, i was probably about 280. I've also tried the cabbage soup diet (hated that) and the 3 days on 4 days off diet, i forget what that one's called, it's an old one.
