Hi there, I know exactly how you feel. I am up and down with my weight. Seems like and endless uphill battle. If you are like me the biggest problem is as much as I would love to exercise to lose the weight I have gained there is absolutely no energy to do it. Just getting through the day is a challenge. My naturopath put me on the HCG. It's a hormone your body naturally releases when you are pregnant that helps your body burn fat. It worked amazingly for me. It's a super strict diet but if you are at your wits end like I was you would probably do anything. And it's rather expensive. But the way I see it, instead of buying food for the month you spend it on HCG...so it kind of balances itself out. I lost 40 pounds in 40 days the first time I did it. Then 30 pounds in 40 days the second time. Sadly it's the steroids that made me gain each time. Get it from a Dr. though. I took the shots. Good luck :)
