NatashaKingston’s Profile

Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

I used to weigh 170 pounds and I now weigh 255. I was very muscular, so at 5'5" I had a great figure and I felt really good about myself. But now I have gotten out of shape and I was just diagnosed with MS, so my energy is nonexistent and I get sick all the time. I want to get healthy again, have more energy, and feel good about myself.

Close Obesity

My name is Natasha and I am 5'6" and I was 255 pounds. I am now at 245 after several weeks of changing the way I eat. I want to lose weight because I feel terrible physically, always tired and sore; because I feel terrible mentally, incredibly low self-esteem; and because I know I deserve better than to live like this.

Treatments

Alli Too Soon to Tell

I only stayed on it for about a month and I saw barely any results. I stopped using because I kept forgetting to take it.

Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked

This has been the only thing that has really worked for me.

Elliptical Trainer Somewhat Helpful

I like this because it reduces impact, which for people who carry a lot of extra weight, can be really uncomfortable.

Overeaters Anonymous (OA) Working / Worked

This is not a diet, but it certainly helps you to connect with the only being who really can help you keep the weight off...God. I can't do it, that's for sure.

Physical Exercise Not Working

I tried exercise without changing my diet but it has never helped. I have to cut calories before exercise helps me to lose weight.

Weight Watchers Not Working

I have tried weight watchers more times than I can say, and while its theories are good, I don't see myself counting points for the rest of my life. They keep changing the points intake per day to higher and higher amounts and I eventually didn't lose weight at all.
