I am a Filipino and also had weight problem. I'm 50 yrs old and last january 2009 I weighed 220 lbs. Now, after 3 months, I loss around 25 lbs which really makes me feel good. How did I do that? I cut fatty meat, no butter, very, very little sugar, no cakes and I eat at least 5 times a day in small amount. I eat a lot of fish, vegetables and fruits. I used to drive my car to work but I dropped this as well instead I take public transport to work which gives me minimum 30 mins of walking daily. It really helps.

Steven obviously doesn't understand what it is like to be overweight, I don't think he has had the problem before. It is not easy, I agree with what you say.

I have heard it so many times from people who have never had a weight problem. They all talk of how simple it is if you "just want it" Those to me are always the sign of someone who truely has no idea of the real challenges facing people with a weight problem.

I also enjoy walking and other types of exercise. Hi Jaime – Being overweight is certainly no fun, and I congratulate you for overcoming it. I also enjoy walking and other types of exercise.

I, too had a weight problem despite being Filipino although I have lost all the excess weight now just by walking, nothing fancy.(please see below the other reasons.) Steve, Calories are not the enemy in putting on weight. It is FAT---yes, animal fat! That's how I lost a great amount of weight, when I cut down on meats, butter, fat of pork. When i refrained from eating meat for three months, my weight simply dropped! I eat lots of bread with jam but no butter.Butter is also a big no-no. Hi, Bob.

When I moved to the Philippines I was about 250 lb overweight. Today, I am about 90 lb overweight, having lost 160 lb in the last few years. So, not only "can I lose weight" I am indeed losing significant weight. I am at a point now that being overweight does not control my life anymore, and I like it. I will probably never be at a perfect weight, and that is OK with me. I don't feel that I am a person who needs to be in control, or overly authoritative. When it comes to running my various websites, yes, I do so with a lot of control, because this is my business. It is how I pay the bills. I make money in no other way, so I am careful to keep things running smoothly. You probably do the same with any business that you may own.

I appreciate your candor. I could easily be overweight and once I was for about 3 months 20 lbs overw my ideal weight and that was just before I moved to the Philippines. I wanted so much to look good to the hotties here that before I came I exercised feverishly and lost the 20lbs in about a month and haven't seen it since. What a surprise to me when I found out women here seem to prefer more rotund men. Now I seem to be putting on some weight again but I get harrassed in a nice way by my wife and I force myself to stay away from the dangerous foods. I find myself drinking a red coke from time to time and I rarely if ever in my life drank coke before. Got to watch those slips ha ha. I am one of those personalities that doesn't know the word no when it comes to getting what I want. I can drive (talk) a person to drink to get my way. But I do it in a nice way without seriously infringing or hurting others unless they deserve it. This has brought me tremendous success and many good friends. You seem to be the same. I have read your site often and you are an extremely confident, highly intelligent and assured individual. You seem to enjoy being in control and like to be an authority figure. So Bob I know if you put you mind to it you could lose the weight. You just got to want it bad enough. Thanks. I appreciate your candor.
