More info: Need more information. What is your weight and height. This is important to determine you body mass index. You said you tried treatments that didn't help. What kind of treatments? There are several weight loss protocols and sometimes we use medications to help with the process. Usually combining good diet with exercise is enough but meds might be used in special situations..

Slow is way to go!: To lose weight insure that calories burned > calories consumed. Drink at least 8 - 8 oz glasses of water /day. Try for 8 hrs of sleep/night. Aim for at least 5 servings of vegetables & 4 of fruit per day. Use whole grains. Avoid sodas, alcohol & junk carbohydrates. Get in a good mix of aerobic & weight lifting exercises.
