I normally dont ecourage people to lose weight (I'm a fat accpetance activist!)...but since you asked...

I dropped 100 lbs without intending to. It was a side effect of trying to treat my IBS. This is what I did:

I cut most fat from my meals
I drink only water, occasionally pure fruit juice and skim milk
I exercise daily (exercise regulates the bowels)
I eat smaller portions, and switched from 3 big meals to 6 mini-meals a day
I dont eat after 6 PM because when I do it wakes me up around 4 AM with nightmares and stomachaches.

Maybe if you do what I did it would work for you?

But remember, some people are genetically meant to be big. Not sure if you knew that or not. I know I'm not because I was quite skinny when I was in my teens and early 20s. But there is a gene that makes some people heavy, esp. if they have always been heavy even as little kids.
