Later that year I was up to about 205. I started the Richard Simmons Deal a Meal program. While on this program I always felt hungry, but I did manage to take off about 25

This went on for the next year or so, with me loosing the same 25 pounds repeatedly. In January of 1996, I decided to try Optifast. I only stayed with this for about 2 months. I started at 234 and got down to about 205, but my system didn't like the shakes a whole lot and my pocket book liked it even less.
Slowly over the next year I put on more weight again and would go back to starving myself to take off some of the weight. Then in 1997 I started using slim fast shakes. Together with the shakes and lots of exercise I made it down to 170 pounds. I was back into size 14 jeans and I felt great. Success however was again fleeting as I decided
By the time I graduated from school in 2000 I was back up to around 225. Then after school was over I continued to put on even more weight . During the next 2 years I tried several low-carb diets and again lost a decent amount of weight only to put it back on again after quitting the weight loss eating plan. I began to feel that the yo-yo would never end.
