thanks for you help Antje. i'll look at it now! :)

congrats to both Antje and Dolittle! many years ago i use to be in a size 3, got married, had children, got sick and then the weight started comming on. i watch what i eat and i don't eat a lot. everyone tells me to eat about 6 meals a day. how do you do that? if i'm not hungry i don't want to eat. that is my hardest part of dieting. if i told you that i am 5'6 1/2" and am in a size 20-22, looking at me you wouldn't believe it. i do hide my weight well but i can't stand to look at myself in the mirror. when i started back excerising and saw the weight cmming on me i got scared. now, my daughter's wedding is at the end of July and i want to get off at least 20 pounds. does anyone think i would be able to do it and if so, where can i find a menu that i can start using? please let me know! thanks for all of your help. it is nice to know that you can talk to someone about things like this! :)

I see that you have lost a lot of weight. How long did it take you to get the pounds off? I have tried nearly every diet plan there is with no success. Of course, I need to get off a few more pounds then that. I have failed at the diets and gained everything back plus more. I need to have something that will help me keep it off. Of course I have a husband that likes to cook so I think I may be in a little bit of trouble there! LOL Any advise would be appreciated. I exercise and I gain instead of take off! Even my doctors don't understand what is going on!
