My Other Weight Loss Attempts:

i've done optifast and optitrim via Kaiser. I lost 68 lbs, gained bk 85. It really is a great program, but you really have to focus on ALL of the program, not just the fasting. i totally ignored my mental and emotional health, and thus gained every pound back and then some.

i did nutrisystem, i think i lasted two days. the food was AWFUL. i heard they've re-vamped their program, tho, so i don't knock it. i have girlfriends who tried it and did well, and maintained their weight loss.

i did slim fast, trying to use it the same as optitrim. it worked, for a while, but i couldnt handle the "replace a meal with a liquid" thing anymore.

as i write this, it's November 2006 and im starting at 251.8 pounds, im doing jenny craig b/c those kirstie alley commercials are just too inspiring.

the point to listing all my unsuccessful attempts?

NEVER STOP TRYING! :)
