There are plenty of reasons why many of us struggle to lose weight, which is partly why we have an obesity crisis on our hands. Part of the problem is that it is often the incidental reasons that sneak into our lifestyles that can quietly add a few stubborn kilos.

And I'm not talking about the stock complaints. Every professional hears them: highway patrol officers must get sick of "I didn't realise I was going that fast", and tax accountants probably have to feign surprise at "I didn't have time to organise my receipts" when a shoebox full of paper is plonked on their desk.

I seem to get "I've tried everything but nothing seems to work", usually when I'm faced with someone who has clearly spent the past few years in a pretty good paddock. (For the record, this is exactly what every contestant tells me on arrival in The Biggest Loser house.)

So, such things aside, here are my top three reasons.

1. YOUR PORTIONS ARE TOO BIG

Here's a little drill. Buy a nice piece of nutritious salmon. Now take it home and weigh it. Salmon comes in at about eight kilojoules a gram, and I'm guessing that: a) your salmon fillet weighs 250 to 300g; and b) you would normally eat that much in one sitting. I recommend about 150g of meat or fish at a sitting. Most of us probably eat close to double that.

2. YOU'RE NOT AN 'INTENTIONAL' EATER

We have a rule in our house that no one is allowed to eat unless they are seated at the table. If we didn't have this rule, I'd be a contestant on The Biggest Loser, not a trainer. Most excess kilojoules are taken in when we're sitting on the couch doing what I call "unintentional" eating. This is where we have a biscuit here and a soft drink there. It all adds up. By contrast, intentional eating is where you: a) think about what you're going to eat; b) buy it; c) prepare it; d) cook it; and e) eat it.

3. YOU'RE GETTING OLDER

I know that's nothing you want to hear, but unfortunately weight management gets trickier from about 27 years old. Our metabolism slows down (and the production of the hormones that help support it), and our ability to burn kilojoules slows with it. Couple this with the fact you probably have more money for food and alcohol, and you're burning your metabolic candle at both ends. If nothing seems to be shifting the kilos, it may be due to an unexpected reason.

Three reasons you're not losing weight

LOS ANGELES, June 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --You are struggling with obesity. You have tried to lose weight through diet and exercise, only to finally give up in frustration when they failed to deliver any tangible results. You know you're not alone with this problem, and yet you feel ashamed anyway. It's no surprise; society has not been kind to the obesity epidemic. There is a certain stigma attached to weight, and there is a certain stigma attached to bariatric surgery as well. Too many people who have tried diet and exercise, and are considering effective procedures like gastric sleeve surgery or gastric bypass, end up not going through with it because they are afraid of being judged. "You're lazy; you're looking for the easy way out." You can hear those words in your head before anyone ever opens their mouth. But let's get real for one second here: first, the stigma of bariatric surgery is fading fast. The science behind these procedures is getting more play in the media, and eroding the ignorance and presumptuousness that has overshadowed them for too long. Second, even if that weren't the case, even if you believe people really would think those things of you, are you willing to give up on a healthier, longer life, before you have even explored this option, because of other people's opinions?

Bariatric surgery is about reclaiming your life, and reclaiming your sense of self-worth. That is exactly what so many weight loss patients have experienced after undergoing one of these procedures at Dr. Feiz & Associates, a leading medical center in Los Angeles. Dr. Michael Feiz has seen his patients transform, both physically and psychologically. He has seen them find a new lease on life. Indeed, not only have these patients enjoyed dramatic weight loss results, but many of them have been able to completely get off their medication for conditions like Type 2 diabetes.

The key to making the most of bariatric surgery is commitment. At the very least, hear out the experts first before you write it off completely. Contact Dr. Feiz & Associates for a FREE consultation, or attend one of their FREE informational seminars. Learn about how advancements in surgical technology are making these procedures less invasive, making recovery faster, and making scars a thing of the past. Arm yourself with knowledge, and you'll be more prepared to make the right decision for you and your life.

ABC News Sabina Ghebremedhin reports:

A little more than a year ago, personal trainer Drew Manning stopped working out, and started eating fast food, white bread, sugary cereal and soda.

Manning, a self-proclaimed fitness addict, started the weight-gain journey to better understand what his overweight clients go through. He let himself go completely, and chronicled the process in video blog on his website, Fit2Fat2Fit.com.

Manning gained 23.5 pounds by week 4. As the weeks progressed, his confidence and his health took a downturn.

He started to get winded easily, and his glucose level and blood pressure were high. Its getting a little scary, he said in one of his video blogs.

Mannings wife, Lynn, was prepared to see the physical changes in her husband, but didnt expect the emotional and personality changes that came with the weight gain.

His self-confidence, that completely went away and depleted, she said, explaining that he was becoming lethargic, lazy, not helping around the house.

I was in denial at first until she kept pointing out the things I was doing, Manning said today on Good Morning America. But I did become lazier. I had less energy so I did become exhausted and I kept seeing how it affected our relationship because of that. And so thats where the biggest surprise was, the emotional [part].

When Manning started his experiment on May 7, 2011, he had a 34.5-inch waist and 17-inch neck, and he weighed 193 pounds. Six months later, he had a 48-inch waist, 19-inch neck and he weighed 265 pounds. His clothes didnt fit.

'Fit2Fat2Fit' Author Drew Manning's Top 5 Weight-Loss Mistakes to Avoid

Jessica Simpson made the rumors official: She's signed on to lose the post-baby pounds with Weight Watchers.

"So excited to be part of the Weight Watchers family," she tweeted on May 30.

The singer has reportedly ditched fast food to get ready for the weight loss, but she's still considering which trainer she'll use to whip herself into shape. The two options are reportedly Danny Musico, her fiance Eric Johnson's trainer, and Mike Alexander, the man who got her into shape for 2005's "Dukes of Hazard," according to US Weekly.

"As soon as Jessica heals from the C-section, she is extremely determined to get back in the gym and work out," a source told US Weekly. "She wants to show the world and is excited to do it."

It's not confirmed how much weight she wants to lose with her $4-million Weight Watchers endorsement deal - we've heard anywhere from 60 lbs. to close to 100 lbs. However, we do know that she'll have plenty of motivation since other celebrities have dropped the lbs. with help of weight loss program endorsements.

Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer Hudson is basically the face of Weight Watchers these days. The singer dropped 80 lbs. on the program - it's like she just emerged one day with a dramatically smaller frame. According to a post on Weight Watchers, Hudson's did it by eating foods like Kashi GoLean Crunch Cereal, skim milk, sweet potatoes and lots of Greek yogurt.

Charles Barkley

Charles Barkley came out in January saying that Weight Watchers had helped him drop 38 lbs. off his famously hefty frame. However, he told fellow TNT sports announcers Reggie Miller and Kevin Harlan that it was all a scam.

"I thought this was the greatest scam going-getting paid for watching sports, this Weight Watchers thing is a bigger scam," he said, thinking that the microphones were off. He received some flack for the comment, though it seems like he meant that earning money for doing something he'd do for free - like eating - is just like getting money for something else he loves, sports.

Jessica Simpson and Other Celebs Making Big Cash with Weight Loss Deals

David Kirchhoff still trembles and sweats at the sight of ice cream.

Perhaps thats what makes him the perfect person to run Weight Watchers, one of the biggest weight-loss companies in the world. He knows what its like to struggle with the scale, and now he can say he wrote the book on it literally.

Mr. Kirchhoff, 45, president and chief executive officer of Weight Watchers International Inc., spent a grand total of nine years losing about 45 pounds. He became a member of the Weight Watchers program after becoming an employee of the company in 1999. At that time, he was clinically obese, weighing 242 pounds, with high cholesterol. Over the next nine years, he set about losing the excess weight, including after being named company CEO in 2006.

During that time, he learned a thing or two about how to get motivated, why men shouldnt be afraid of talking about weight-loss struggles, and why its important to never feel deprived all topics he covers in his new book, Weight Loss Boss. He spoke to The Globe and Mail about the lessons he has learned, and why people should cut Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who recently gave mixed messages about his public commitment to lose 50 pounds, some slack.

Its time for men to talk about their body issues

Mr. Kirchhoff said he was inspired to go public with his weight-loss story because so few men do. Weight-loss companies and products have typically been geared toward women, but men are just as affected by issues related to being overweight or obese.

I will admit at first it felt a little bit off and vulnerable to put myself out there, Mr. Kirchhoff said. Yet I think in a positive way the discussion around obesity is becoming less and less focused on weight and body image and more and more focused on the health. The reasons for doing that are as strong for men as they are for women.

The ground appears to be shifting, he said, with more men being targeted by weight-loss companies and also more willing to talk about the issue.

Taking nearly a decade to reach goal weight isnt a bad thing

Mr. Kirchhoff said the most positive feedback he has received about his book is over the fact he stuck with his weight-loss plan, even though it took nine years to lose 45 pounds and reach his goal.

Jessica Simpson has put a ban on all fast food in an effort to lose her baby weight.

The Fashion Star judge has signed a deal to become the face of Weight Watchers, but that's not the only reason that Jess has put a stop to convenience food, as she only wants the best nutrients for her daughter.

According to a source, Jess is keen to stay super-healthy while she's still breast-feeding Maxwell, who was born last month.

"She's breast-feeding Max and wants her to get the best nutrition," a source told Us Weekly. Whereas there was a time during her pregnancy when Jess would gorge on buttered Pop Tarts and Macoroni and cheese, no more, says the insider: "She has to cut down on fast food. Besides, it's a great way to jump-start the massive diet ahead."

But Jessica won't be alone on the WW plan as she's managed to rope a few of her pals in, she revealed on Facebook: "The cool thing about [Weight Watchers] is that it focuses on healthy habits for the long-term (and I can still indulge in my guilty pleasures every now and then, too)."

"I have actually gotten a group of friends together who are going to be doing it with me."
