Don't really mind that she lost weight because I think she's great either way. But I need more Honey Boo Boo gifs, so let's go.
If that isn't the issue, I know of quite a few girls who do everything right and don't loose an ounce only to find out they have insulin resistance due to PCOS. It's not diabetes, but very similar and with a combination of following a diabetic diet and treatment for the PCOS, were finally able to drop weight.
That said, if I ever win the lottery (gotta buy tickets to win...) I am going to do the lap band myself because my stomach is just too big and always feels empty after a regular human sized meal and I have no idea how to shrink it naturally.
I don't think I have PCOS, everything as far as my cycle and stuff is pretty normal. But it was really frustrating to work out and really really watch what I eat and see barely anything happen. I'd think I wasn't working out hard enough, and yet other people would say things like they just took walks or started with a few minutes of activity and lost weight and I'd be like "I'm eating 1000 calories a day and working out to the point of feeling like shit and I'm not losing half that." It became so exhausting to maintain.
you don't need to go insane counting calories and whatnot. just whole fat, healthy foods. grassfed meats, pasture butter, raw cheese, etc. no low fat processed stuff. strength training is more important than mindless cardio that can increase stress and inflammation in the body

this totally goes against anything i've ever heard but it's really helped me. it's worth a try
You don't need to work out, really... Working out is for that little extra boost and for getting "in shape." Abs are made in the kitchen, not in the gym.
Of course it is great to include that into your daily routine and it will sure amplify the weight loss process but overall, you should be doing your best to eating the BEST foods you can and responsibly eating reasonable amounts of those that aren't the best.

Largely it all depends upon the amount of calories you take in. If you eat a lot, then yes you need to work out a lot to burn the excess calories. If you don't take in as many calories, you don't need to exercise as much. Of course if you take in too few calories your body flips out and goes into starvation mode and it makes it hard to lose weight.
Like I am supremely lazy but my caloric intake stays pretty stable so my weight stays the same.
Not helped by the giant sandbags on my chest that no sports bra in existence can contain. :/
its all about calorie intake and calories burned at the end of the day
each person is different regarding the amount of calories needed per day. if you consume more calories -> gain weight. consume less calories -> lose weight. consume the same amount needed -> maintain weight.
I finally had a couple of loosenings and am now eating around 1,700 calories a day (I'm using the Lose It! app on my iphone) and have lost more weight in the last two months than I did in the last year.
And, even knowing now that that's the reason why I didn't lose weight until now as well as seeing on a day-to-day basis that I will gain two pounds in a day if I didn't eat enough the day before AND still having fluid in my Band -- I still have to eat junk food some days to hit my calorie intake. In fact, I was very active at the gym for a couple of months and then realized that I had to choose between being in shape but not losing the weight (because there was no way for me to hit 1,700 calories AND make up what I was losing by working out) or just to lose weight.
I'm not saying that that's everyone's problem, but it was mine and the Lap-Band was the third worst thing I could have done to lose weight (second and first worst things being the Sleeve or Gastric Bypass which aren't technically reversible).
Mind you, I still think that the Lap-Band is a wonderful tool when it works and I know two handfuls of people who have been very successful on it.
But it is a hell of a lot easier to commit to eating more food for a week or two to see if that helps than it is to do a two-week liquid diet for no reason.
