I just last week had surgery to remove my diseased gall bladder. I don't fit any of the normal risk factors, other than that I lost weight rather quickly. Twice.

So just to add to the other advice against losing too fast-it increases your risk of forming gall stones, that can lead to extremely painful attacks after eating certain foods. Not to mention the painful recovery from surgery to remove the organ.

Losing weight after the first 10ish pounds of water weight should be done rather slow and I don't think most people realize this. Anything over two pounds a week is too much for your body to handle safely. Gaining or losing.

Plus, most people have a hard time keeping the weight from coming back if they don't lose slow and steady, like one or two pounds a week.

This is defiantly true. Losing more than a pound a week will most likely guarantee that you gain back that weight plus some. Learned it in my college major Exercise and Wellness. Its about the only thing I remember! Lol

Needed to lose 20 pounds. Nothing was working so I went veggie and so far in 2 months lost 10 pounds. It is difficult and takes time.

Anyone who needs to lose weight - you can do it with healthy choices and lotsa lotsa patience.

Hang in there.

Yes I agree completely with you lots of veggies and patience can make you shed weight. Also High quality organic weight loss product can be very good. Also regular up-to-date exercises like swimming, dancing, walking, jogging and even yoga can also be very beneficial. But my worry is my wife. After the birth of our second son, she has gone past worrying and she is adding weight at an alarming rate. So I got her some pills, encouraged her to eat lots of fruits and vegetables and also do regular exercise. After 4 months now, she is almost back to her former perfect shape. But suddenly she had stopped everything and she is eating whatever she likes. She insist she looks great and only dancing appeals to her. And yes she does a lot of dancing but I feel it is not a enough.

Please I have run out of ideas, convincing. Do you or anyone else have any idea or suggestion or am I worrying too much?

Just avoid carbos if you think you cannot lose wait and exercise. That is the most important thing to do.
