Sustainable Weight Loss Strategies for Long-Term Success


Question
I've tried Everything from weight watchers to grapefruit.  I have lost as much as 125 lbs.  However I never get below 200 or keep it off( I'm 5'3").  My doctor has prescribed phentermine to help, but I read it very habit forming.  What works for long term?

Answer
Hi Dalene,
Weight loss is just an uphill battle. You have got to keep on fighting. You must figure out why you lose the battles you lose and pray like hell you win the war. Please don't give up your diet and workout. And please aim to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week. If you are able to attain your goal, you would get the excitement to go on your plan. Sometimes it is little things that count the most when working toward your goals.
