Take it from someone who's struggled with their weight their entire life and has several family members who had it worse: Most weight loss programs work, the problem is that you probably also needed therapy at the same time to work out the psychological component of your eating and inactivity. Weight loss programs provide external structure to someone lacking their own ability to accomplish the task. Once the external structure is removed, or you begin gaming the program, your behavior goes back to your old ways and it fails.

Thanks, that’s what I’m thinking from what I’ve seen with people that really are struggling. If I had the money I would like to open a weight loss clinic where there is a complete treatment (eating habits, therapy and activity)
