Try Overeaters Anonymous! I opted for this while going through pre-surgery stuff and have lost 91 pounds in just 9 months! It is not easy, but it is very simple. You can find a meeting at www.OA.org. There are no dues or fees, you just a little bit to support the expenses of the group!
Thank you for the info! I'm going to start and do my best! I have a lot to lose!
Track everything you put into your mouth using something like MyFitnessPal and a kitchen scale. This includes liquids. From there, work on reducing your calories every week by 100/day. So if you're eating 2000 calories a day now, go to 1900 for a week. Then 1800 for a week, et****il you are consistently losing a little weight each week.
Prioritize protein and calorie free liquid, avoid refined and processed carbs, move as much as you can.

my Ob-Gyn started me on Wellbutrin last year after losing a parent to help me with stress eating. it has helped a bit, but I still have a pretty big appetite and want to possibly try Contrave.
I have read good reviews on it, however my insurance doesn't cover it unless I 'fail' Wellbutrin. since I have been on this road a year and have gained weight in that time, I consider this a failure. i'm seeing my surgeon in 2 weeks to discuss options.
he really wants to revise since the GERD I had pre-op is back. it really never went away completely, but it was definitely much lessened when I was at my lowest weight.
I would like to know if anybody here tried contrave??? let me know your experiences, and whether you would do it again. thanks!
I'm needing to lose weight without insurance. (surgery isn't an option bc of no insurance and high cost) What options do I have?

Coolscultping is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment. It eliminates the stubborn fat that resists all efforts through diet and exercise. But I don't know if it will help to reduce weight. The fats can be removed only after 2-3 sessions.
Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to know if anyone has gone through the non-surgical weight loss program at Humber River and what that was like. I was referred in May 2016 and my orientation in in May 2017. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
A
