Do you have a medical issue that keeps you from losing weight? PROPER diet is almost always the key to weight loss. Try eating 10-12 calories per pound of body weight, per day ans see if that helps. Diet can be really tricky in that if you eat too many calories you gain weight, and if you eat too few you won't lose, or will gain weight.
