I have tried so many diets over my lifetime. I mean many, many diets, products, programs - you name it, I've tried it short of surgery. I found out there is no shortcut. The only thing that has worked for me is a free online community called Sparkpeople. I have learned how to track my food & exercise. There are so many different types of teams to join. As a member, I have my own webpage, joined different teams, blog, and interact with other Sparkpeople members. There are so many resource articles, exercise videos, health articles and so many tools to help learn to eat healthy. One of the tools that hooked me was the feedback reports on how you do daily, weekly, or monthly based on what you want to keep track of. They have results charted that can be printed. There are recipes where members have posted. There are so many motivating techniques all under one roof. There is a point system that where you can earn points based on your activities. I may not lose instantly but I have kept off what I have lost. I have been able to cut back some of the medications because of the improvement of my health since I joined Sparkpeople. I have met people from all over the world who are members. The best part of it is that it doesn't cost me anything but time.
