So, I've decided I will not spend any more money until I lose at least 30 pounds - not even on Susanah! 
Its going to be TOUGH, but I have to do something. I am just miserable.

I'm sorry your having such a hard time w/ your weight loss...I know as women our weight can be so important to us, probably more important than money
it can really send us into a depression & effect our whole self image....I just wanted to tell you about my sister because she has had a weight problem for years...she was always looking for that magic , quick , & easy way to have the weight just drop off in her sleep w/ no effort on her part, she loved carbs, pasta & lots of donuts...she would buy every new gadget or pill that came out, she even bought Relacore at $130 a bottle, (she lost about 6lbs. & it came back), she did the colon cleansing ( the only thing that got cleansed was her checkbook), joined a gym ( went gung ho at first then quit going)....she finally decided there is no easy way, she has to do this herself, she went & bought an exercise bike & started cutting out the junk food ( no more Little Debbie's, she was evicted from the home) she was limiting her carbs at first but is now eating more normal, just cutting the portions way down... she rides that bike EVERY day for a minimum of 1 hr. while the tv is on...sometimes she will go for a 3-4 mile walk in the evenings...a couple of times she felt so energized she told me she rode that bike for 3 hrs. & burned 1900 calories
....so far she has lost about 38 lbs. in 2 months, she has 20 to go, but she is feeling good & positive about it & she's smiling more....
This is how my sister explained it to me.... Sometimes I felt like I'm in a hole & need to climb out...the "cure" is my commitment & dedication to doing this...it required a decision to be made & sticking it out w/o giving in to instant gratification ( food or her excuses to avoid exercise)...every thing I do is by a conscience choice...I had to change no matter on how I felt..
I know you can do this too...I hope her story inspires & gives you hope ..
