Losing weight is easy. Keeping the weight off for more than 12 months is incredibly difficult.

I gave up all refined sugar for the month of October, went on a binge fest at about 9 pm last night figuring I had made it a month. Dropped about 20 lbs and really didn't miss the sugar after about a week. Now I need something to focus on for November.

Bread.

Not sure of your current consumption but that has been my biggest struggle. A slice of pizza every great once in a while keeps my spirits up otherwise it's something I have to avoid almost completely.

Nice job, btw.

With each decade, keeping to an optimum weight is more difficult.

Yeah bread is jammed full of sugar, I watched the doc Fed Up and that kind of motivated me to try it.

what do you mean by refined sugar? Did it include avoiding all products that have refined sugar, or just not eating the good ole C&H pure cane sugar from Hawaii?

I had a bet with one of the guys in the office and I had to drop about five pounds during October to win. I cut out candy, soda and just junk and the lb's came off and like you after about a week I didn't really miss it. He doubled down so I've got to lose another five during November and this is going to be tough.

My problem is finding the determination. Where do I find it?

Anything that the ingredients included sugar, fructose, corn syrup, all the other names of sugars.

The one marked healthy seems like it's just as dead as the other one.

Reminds me of some of the meats I smoke.

95% of morbidly obese people who attempt to achieve significant weight loss by diet and exercise alone will fail. Mainly because they cannot maintain a healthy lifestyle after losing weight (most don't even make it that far).

Of course, morbid obesity is a surgical disease, with stunningly good responses to hypertension and diabetes after bariatric surgery. I've seen people on twenty meds go down to two. I've seen insulin dependent diabetics not only get off insulin, but get off diabetes meds all together.

While there are certainly issues with any surgical procedures (rearranging your internal plumbing is anything but benign), bariatric surgery can get a person healthy.

If by "diet" you are talking about calorie restriction, those numbers are accurate for everyone, not just the morbidly obese.
