I've been struggling with my weight since i was about 9 years old (im 18 now-so half my life). I got up to 200 lbs when i was twelve. i made it back down to 130 lbs when i was 14. now, i'm 18, and im back to 185 lbs. i tried to see if my pediatrician could prescribe me anything, a diet or anything, but he just said to eat less. but ive tried that. ive tried weight watchers, eating better, "dieting", exercising, eating only salads, soups, and liquids, diet pills.... the list goes on, but nothing works. basically, is there anything a doctor could do-give me a strict diet, or medicine- to help me lose the weight?

Definitely! If your diet attempts and exercise aren't working, and you're REALLY giving them a try, then get a second opinion from another doctor. You may need a blood test to rule out a thyroid problem or other health factor. And another doctor might be able to prescribe something (or suggest an OTC treatment) that can help. Good luck!

Hi There,
If you want to lose weight then you need to forget about all the diet books and exercise videos and just get on with eating fewer calories and burning more calories. Simple as that.
The real trick comes with the mental side of weight loss which is where I've found most of my clients suffer. With hypnosis or hypnosis programs the mental side is covered because the hypnotic messages work with the subconscious mind. If you can master the mental side of weight loss, not only can you lose weight, but you can keep it off which is the real problem most people face.
Make sure you have set yourself realistic weight loss goals.
Make sure you have appropriate motivation - a reward / punishment method works for some people.
Make sure you have the support of people around you - friends / family.
Make sure you keep your focus on your goal.
And get rid of your bathroom scales!!!
Weight loss typically occurs with inches being lost before the weight goes. I've had clients who have lost no weight for a month, yet they have dropped 2 dress sizes in that month. As well as monitoring your weight weekly, take your measurements weekly too and notice the difference!
Hope that helps, but please let me know if there's anything else I can do.
