I just had to share this recent result because I had just about given up. My dr. took me off some medications I'd been on, found out I had a cyst on my thyroid and gave me some thyroid meds, tweaked a couple of other things, and recommended the South Beach diet.
Since my last dr. appt six weeks ago, I lost 20 pounds! Yay! I feel a lot better. I really think it was the combination of finding out some very specific things about my situation and having a new, great dr. who was willing to connect that dots that has helped me with this current (and continuing success). If you've been dieting for a long time (I kept yo-yoing with needing to lose baby weight plus a bunch more) you might try a complete physical and ask for a scan of your thyroid if your numbers are borderline. There were a bunch of things preventing me from losing weight even when I was trying hard, and it has been really helpful to figure out what my own individual body needs to be healthy.
I wish you all the best!
