Hey all Im new to this site. I am mom to 3 great boys. I have gained all my weight in the last 5 years. I was alot smaller a yr after I had my last son who is almost 7!!!! I have started watching what I eat like things such as carb , fat and sugar amounts. I am disgusted with they way I look so I only wonder what my husband thinks of me He doesnt offer much support to me other than to tell me if I vaccumed daily then I would lose weight. If that were true I would live ,eat and sleep on the vaccum cleaner. Unfortunately it takes more than that. I may be fat but Im not stupid. If anyone can offer me support and motivation I would greatly appreciate it. I hope to hear from someone....anyone. Thanks!!!!!

BTW I have about 60 lbs to lose. I would be happy with 50

Hello Faithinall,

My ex husband used to say the same things to me. Some people do not realize its not as easy for some as it is for others to lose weight.He probably wants to help but just doesn't know what to say to you.

I need to lose 40 lbs. It has really helped me to log on to this website and read everyones stories and receive their support. It helps because it reminds me every day what I am trying to do.

Don't give up. Keep trying until you find out what works for you. If you ever need to correspond with someone feel free to e-mail me at [email protected].

I too have the Dr. Phil book. I dont know if it would work for me. I am a very picky eater always have been. I am still pondering whether I should give it a try with the foods I do eat. I have noticed since I have cut back my carbs I do feel better and stay fuller longer. 2 weeks ago if you asked when I ate I would say all the time but have cut that out completely. I am a manager for Mickey D's and I no longer want to eat when Im there. If I can do it at work I can do it at home Let me know if you start the Dr Phil diet and how it works if you dont mind.......Faith
