Hi Girls,
Lesley 
we all try to support one another during this long journey in weight loss I had same problem as you and now I joined a weight management program called Physician weight loss I am seen once a month with DR and take meds I have lost a total of 34 pounds since I began 9/1/06. But aside all that both of my kids began as well my 10 year old has lost 7 pounds and 16 year old has lost 30 they
DO NOT TAKE MEDS I just stopped buying junk foods and we don't eat carbs and only drink water and 1% milk also exercise is a must. If you would like maybe you can buy South Beach Diet book its worked for us.
