I'm ready as well.
I went on the fast diet program that someone mentioned above last year. You are promised to lose 16 to 20lbs a month, if you stay strict. I was on it from May until Sept and only lost 25lbs. It was all my fault. Did the injections help with the weight loss, IMHO, No! It boost your energy level. You have to top up with potassium and calcium. You are restricted to about 800 calories/day. Have I kept the weight off, No. It all came back on. My husbands insurance company paid for it. Only because they covered the first week by mistake, then they covered the rest, due to the union lawyer getting involved. It's considered experimental by most insurance companies.
So, yes I'm ready to lose the weight. I've looked into the Lap band, $17k to $20k. I've also looked into Gastric bypass, covered by OHIP out of province if your Dr. approves. Mine does not.
I'm not sure what plan I'm going to do or how to do it just yet. I do know that if you cut out all whites, sugar, flour, rice, etc you will lose weight. There are certain veges that are good for you as well, that don't have natural sugars.
Good luck everyone! I'm not promising myself anything, other than not to gain more than I am now.
