Thanks for your input and honest opinions.

Hi and welcome to 3FC. So glad you're here.
Hey, I know you might not want to hear this, but I think your Dr. may be on to something. I think he just may be right. Eating right, keeping portions in check and making those foods healthy ones, along with exercise IS what is needed to lose weight and then maintain it.
When you say does Curves "work", what exactly do you mean by that? I really don't believe that exercise alone is enough to get off a substantial amount of weight. Exercise will have to be accompanied by a healthy eating plan.
Most insurance plans cover the expense of a nutritionist. Perhaps you ought to give that a try. A nutritionist can set you up with a healthy eating plan and maybe even guide you to some beginning exercise. I myself started out just by walking and adding more and more activity to my day.
Good luck to you.
