I'm sure I have a very similar story to many on here. I've struggled with my weight pretty much my whole life. I can't really seem to get the balance right; I'll eat too much and not workout or workout too much and not eat enough.

I'm currently 216lbs. My highest weight was 256lbs and my lowest weight was 198lbs. I recently tried the Master Cleanse (Lemonade Diet) where you just drink a lemonade concotion for a 10day fast. I did it for 5 days and gained back the 10lbs i lost over a weekend. wonderful.

soooo, i'm going back to the tried and true of counting calories and working out more.

fingers crossed,

Hi there DCCHICK . . .

Have a look at the Does It Work Forum . . . you'll find that most cleansing regimens just tend to strip out some water and as soon as you eat food again, the scale goes back up.

When all is said and done the only thing that really works is the good old "eat less; move more". Various diet plans are really just different versions of getting to that same bottom line.

So glad to have you here DCchick Congrats on the weight that you've lost so far! There's a Calorie Counters area if you'd like to find people doing the same. There are also many support groups. So have a look around & post where you're comfortable.

Best of success!

thanks so much everyone!!
