[quote=Anonymous]OP I am sorry you are feeling desperate about your weight loss. I do not have quite as much to lose but I have recently lost 15 pounds and wanted to share what worked.

The bad news is it really is about eating less. But as I see it, this is also the good news because while weight loss is not easy, it is simple. You dont have to follow rules of any fad diet you just have to find a way where you can consistently, steadily eat less. Some people have great luck giving up snacks (which can easily double ones caloric intake), or cutting usual portions in half. For me, what worked was a modified version of intermittent fasting: no breakfast, normal lunch and minimal dinner (think veggies or a soup). What I like about intermittent fasting is that you always have a big meal to look forward to. Also, I find it's true that it is easier to not eat than to eat just a little, easier to skip meals.
The other things I would say is that weight loss is hard continuous work. It's like a job. Working out every day and eating minfully. So, if you have the luxury of treating it like a job, go for  it.
And finally, don't embrace a failing plan. Find something that works for you, even if the weight loss is slooowwww. 
Best of luck to you.[/quote]
