If you do not eat enough calories, you will not lose weight. Your body needs to metabolize what you consume.

There are a lot of fad diets out there - I'm sure you're aware if you've been dieting for over 30 years. And, as your body ages, it changes, and it gets harder to lose weight.

The research is overwhelming that diets are not effective - and you are living proof.

Have you talked to your doctor about some strategies? Had a recent physical and blood work?

I am 44 and have struggled with obesity in my adult years, almost entirely due to my lifestyle. I am a shift worker, I am completely useless in the kitchen so every meal I eat out is fast food, and I'm lazy so I don't exercise.

Last year I went for weight loss surgery (it'll be a year tomorrow actually!) and have managed to lose 72 pounds. I have eight more pounds to go to reach my goal. I chose this route because I know that dieting is ineffective and unsustainable.

It might be an option for you to explore if you are not having success.
