I have not used it, but I know of people who have. I am a Richard Simmons' fan myself and I have lost weight on it, but only about 25 or 30 lbs because that is all I had to lose. I have thought about alternating Medi-Fast with Richard Simmons to push up weight loss. This was before I discovered several food allergies which, once controlled, resulted in a pretty massive 40+ pound weight loss.

To be brutally honest...you have enough weight to lose that actually a lap band or a bypass would be indicated. You have to be at least 100 lbs overweight before they would consider you. While most people who have them never become "thin" or reach an absolutely ideal sort of a weight, they DO help a number of health issues like diabetes and hypertension. It is major surgery and the complication rates are pretty high, but this would be a fight you would never have to fight again. You would always weigh a lot less.

Let me say that I really think this is discrimination and that isn't right, but yours is no the only case I have ever heard of and I fear this will be the wave of the future. I also have to respect you for making the effort to try to lose the weight on your own. Please do see your doctor and ask lots of questions. There are other reasons for people to be overweight besides the fork lifting routine. Blood work seems in order. A registered dietitian might not be a bad idea either. Your diet might need some tweaking. What works like a house on fire for one person is not too effective for another. Your doctor won't know too much about nutrition, but an RD will.
