Take out "The Castaway," that Tom Hanks movie, and watch it. Imagine yourself marooned on a desert island. What's also interesting is that they shot the movie in reverse. Hanks first piled on the weight, getting ready for the role, then actually lost it as they filmed.

Watch especially for his emotional transformation, in addition to his physical transformation.

Best, best of luck to you. Also, patience. That's what weight loss takes -- determination, steady daily plugging, and...patience.

Have you ever tried any kind of diet pill? I think that there are many people in this forum who advise people not to take diet pills although they haven't ever tried them or at least know somebody who has made bad experiences with diet pills.I don't want to say that diet pills are great - I don't know yet - but I don't say to stay away from them until I really know why.
