Hello everyone! I have no idea where to go for more information or advice, but I thought that someone here might have an idea about what's going on with me and I really don't know where else to turn. I apologize for the intrusion if this is the wrong thread and I thank you for reading, regardless

For the majority of my life, I've been on a diet. I was always a large kid and in my teens, my weight skyrocketed. Since then, I have fought to lose weight and now that I'm in my early thirties, am more mature and actually totally committed, my weight seems to have stalled.
I initially tried Weight Watchers last year.. the amount of calories that I had to consume in food seemed insane for my weight. Still, I tried the diet again (had huge success with it previously) and gained weight.
I couldn't lose on the 1200 cal. Diabetic Diet.
I lost sixty pounds fairly quickly with WonderSlim products, but then everything became incredibly slow. I got frustrated and started yo-yoing until I completely stalled on that diet.
I started Atkins (despite the fact I hate meat and I'm a former vegetarian) and lost twelve pounds, gained two and then stalled. I am eating food that I absolutely hate and still I cannot do what I need to do.
What a mouthful ! Anyway, my weight is a huge problem in my life because of the physical limitations that it causes (including limitations with exercise). I'm all about wanting to be healthy. My weight limits what I'm able to do and I NEED to find something that works. I am ready to take full responsibility, but my body seems unwilling. I am not interested in weight loss surgery because of the complications and also due to the fact I don't have insurance.
Has anyone ever experienced this? I would go to my doctor, but she dismisses me and with all of the previous failures that I've had, she doesn't seem too interested. Aside from that, she does blood tests and never sees anything wrong. Finding a new doctor in this community is extremely rough because everything is incorporated.
I am sorry for this long post, but I was sitting here tonight in complete and total confusion and needed to know if there was anyone who identified and could point me in a direction that might help. I thank you again for reading this message.
