Sorry that it was a discouraging time at the clinic, I don't know if I would trust any 'herbal weightloss' anyways, probably would have been a big waste of your time and money.
Going to the gym is the most important thing you can do to lose it and lose it fast! Just in the last couple weeks that I started going, I know that I have to be the same size as before, but I am noticing subtle changes and the tummy seems to be flattening.
I have other fringe benefits, too! My period this month, I only had cramps for one hour and it went away with only one tylenol! That was it! usually I am balled over in pain for two days. Strenous exercise does help. It also will make you feel happier, from releasing all of those endorphins (Do I have the right word?  The brain chemical that makes you happy?)
SDomething that keeps me from overeating (or undereating) and not cheating on the IBS diet is planning out my meals. Maybe even start with planning out what times (aproximately, of course) that you will eat them. Spread everything out through out the day, and you own't have a CHANCE to eat bad stuff. Make sure part of what you are eating are things that you enjoy, or a snack-y thing like pretzels. You will feel like you are endulging, but you really aren't.
Get the bad stuff outta the house. Say goodbye to all the junkfood, no temptation. When I get the sweet tooth late at night, I start rummaging in the kitchen, then just go to bed without it, cause there is none! I buy junkfood in one serving size only. Tell hubby if he needs junkfood, to keep his own stash somewhere. Tell him you need his support and cooperation (however crazy it may seem) to reach your goals.
And, lastly, report in on the Vegas board! I just started! When you know that you are going to be held accountable and have to tell everyone what you ate, you may be more modest and not eat the junk.
keep your goal in mind and dreaming of how good you will look! My PT told me that alot of people mess up losing weight cause they don't do enough cardio. He told me to do 40 min 3 x week ATLEAST, and I am maintaining, not losing!
Good luck! This time of year is the hardest, but we'll do it!
