And by that I mean, has anyone lost all the weight they wanted to lose and kept it off for more than a couple of years without yo-yoing?
I ask because I have been trying to lose about a stone for, ooh, ten years or so. I can lose weight, no problem. Sometimes I can keep it off for a while, but never forever. Low calorie diets make me STARVING and obsessed with food. Low carb is better, less hunger, but still obsessed with carbs. Exercising is great, to a point, but actually makes me hungrier in the long run.
It's like my body just does not want to change weight! And it's not that I am at the right weight - technically I am in the healthy bmi catorgory, but I am small framed and should definitely be carrying less than I am.
I have heard of the 'set point' theory and it makes sense, but how the bloody hell do you change your body's set point?
Would be extremely interested to hear from anyone who has lost weight and kept it off, long long term.
