) Why can't I lose weight?
Q: I'm a 13-year-old girl. I am 5'8", and my weight constantly fluctuates between 193 lbs and 201 lbs. I am a vegetarian, eat as normally as I can, and get most of my exercise by walking around town with my friends for anywhere from a half hour to three hours at least 2 or 3 times a week. Yet I don't seem to lose weight, and I haven't been below 190 in months. I can't get a boyfriend, and people tend to push me around more because I'm fat, and this affects my self-esteem. Why won't I lose weight?A: It sounds like there are at least two issues here - your unhappiness/low self-esteem and your weight. As you know, losing weight is very difficult, especially if you're trying to do it on your own in a healthy, safe manner. You have already discovered that exercise alone rarely leads to weight loss.

) New weight loss camp set to open in the Hill Country
Starting this summer, people who have been on the weight loss treadmill for years without success can attend a weight loss camp on the campus of Schreiner University in Kerrville."All the diets work. It's the people that fail," said Marvin Willis, an Exodus Weight Loss Camp co-founder in Kerrville.
Campers will live in apartment-type dormitories and have healthy meals cooked up and served in the Schreiner dining facilities. A carefully planned day will include trips to the wellness center.
"The idea behind it is to get them in a different environment, and get them away from the surroundings they are in and try to give them a boost, you know, give them a head start on what they need to do for the rest of their life," Willis said.
Trainers will teach the campers fun and easy ways to incorporate exercise into their daily lives. More>>

A chiropractor by education and nutritional researcher throughout his career, says that by eating certain foods that support fat burning hormones, weight loss will naturally occur.
