My husband swears by Push & Shove. I had never heard of it until I met him but it's simple really...you just push your plate back and shove your a** away from the table! LOL! Easy for him to say though...men don't gain weight like women do and there's just something wrong about that! Seriously though, have you tried a plan like South Beach or WW? I'll be starting the South Beach plan next week. With a little luck I'll be back where I feel comfortable soon.
