i can't seem to lose weight and keep it off

As a child I watched my older sister go through weight gain and loss, or maybe it could be weight loss and gain. It was devastating to her. The message that I got: don't go on a diet unless you are prepared to stay on it for life. Although I am heavier than might be quite healthy for me, I have never been on a diet. However, I do not have the enlarged heart that the doctors keep expecting me to have nor any or the other disease that people who are over weight are suppose to have. I just learned to accepted my body as was/is and got on with life. But I understand that not everyone is able to do that. Good Luck.

I have the same problem. I'm trying weight watchers now. It counts points. You have to keep track how many points you eat a day. This is my first day and i ate all my points and i'm still hungry. Help.
