Hiya V. You'll find a whole raft of people here who have significant others in their lives who have no idea how hard it is to lose weight. You might like to flick through the forums and thread and see if there is anyone thread there that fits your lifestyle - for example in these forums, there are Diet threads (Weight watchers, South Beach, Sugarbusters, Atkins), forums dealing with medical conditions, plain support groups and Homemaker ones. You'll find great people and lovely new friends in all of them. Them there are the journals. You can add a post everyday stating what you are doing, what exercise you have done, what food you have had. People comment in your journal if you ask for help or need a particular type of information. There is always someone who knows the answer.
Good luck with your weight journey. It's a tough old road, but can be made a bit easier with friends. I post on a thread called Around the world with 80 chicks. There aren't 80 of us, but we make enough noise for that. You are welcome to drop in, say hello, hang about a bit or move on as you wish. We have a challenge going at the moment - thats what my signature is all about - those who have pledged to give up something and exercise with weights for a week, maybe we will carry it on after the end of the week. Maybe not. Maybe we will think of something else to do to try to push the pounds away.
