There's a lot of misinformation in this topic. I'm a personal trainer, so the primary function of my job is basically to help people lose weight and become more healthy. I see topics like this all the time on social boards, but I usually don't address them because of the massive amount of misinformation that always gets posted, it takes a ton of time to sort through it all, and I usually just decide it's not worth the time. So in this instance, I'll just ask you to ignore everything else posted in this thread thus far, just to save both of us a lot of time and headaches.

I'll say a few things to start. First thing I have are a few questions for you. Have you been losing weight? Have you been keeping track of measurements such as your waist size and body weight regularly? Where did you start and where are you at now? Please describe your current diet and exercise program, briefly.

Once you tell me these things I think there will be a better basis to make suggestions and determine where you might be going wrong in your approach. Thanks!
