Maybe we can help each other. I had 2 babies in less than 2 years. When I got pregnant for the first time I weighed 132. In March of this year I weighed myself and was at 200. That was a turning point for me.

That very night, I signed up to Weight Watchers online. I, like you couldn't imagine going into meetings. This way, I weigh myself every week. I think it takes a little more dicipline to to it online, but it really works for me. (Plus, I have 2 kids and weekly appointments would be a HUGE hassle) Today, I weigh 170. That's 30 pounds in about 4 months. It IS a struggle. I tell myself all the time how easy it would be to just quit fighting. I used to be able to eat anything. Not anymore.

Tell you the truth...its the people complimenting me that keeps my drive up. And once a week, my husband and I go out to dinner. That evening, I forget all about WW. I mean, I don't go absolutely nuts, but I don't count points. Looking forward to that night really helps me through the times when I could just get out that quart of ice cream and go to town.

A couple other little things.

When you first start ANY new diet, you are going to be a little hungry because your body is used to crap. Now, I know diet pills are not for everyone, but I have nothing but applause for Zantrex 3. It's in a bright blue bottle with a black cap. You take 2 pills 15 to 30 minutes before a meal. It curbs your appetite PLUS if you eat too much high fatty foods, you will be on the potty sh*tting it out. It works by binding the fat together before it absorbs into your body. Gastric bypass has the same effects.

When you go out to eat, before you even get your food, ask for a To Go container. When the food comes, put half of your meal there. Portions are huge in most restaurants, so if you do it this way, you can get 2 meals out of one!

HTH. Any ideas you can shoot my way?
