 I would be happy at 150lbs. I've been overweight my whole life, and it has progressively gotten worse. I try a diet lose 15 gain 20. I'm not living anymore because I'm so self conscious, but I've tried so many diets, (cutting carbs, high carbs, prepackaged food, etc.) and no success. I have a friend who was a bit heavier than i am like 230 and did orbera she is down 30lbs. and even at 170 i would be ecstatic. I just hate seeing a 2 in the scale. Should I do this?
