This is my first attempt at any on-line chat or message board or forum or whatever they're called, and I am desperate.  We just relocated and my support network consists of my husband, 3 year old, and 7 month old~ Not a lot of help!
I just restarted the L.A. weight loss program, was succesful before I got pregnant.  I am doing it more for the accountability factor (weigh-ins) than the program itself.  I feel mostly alone, and I am motivated mostly at night while I lay in bed and think, 'tomorrow I will start my diet'.
I have about 20lbs to loose, a drop in the bucket compered to what I've had to loose before.  Even when I follow a diet and exercise program to a T, the weight is VERY SLOW to come off. 
Does anybody have any tips for speeding up the process? 
Is everybody here an exercise proponent, or are there a few who just don't have the time/motivation?
I'm not sure how the replys work~  I would appreciate any input.

Hi! I am a new member too. You probably should have posted under the general messages to get more replies, but maybe not!
 
Anyway, like I said I am new too. I just try to lose weight by exercising more and watching those calories. It is not an easy battle but we must persist!! I am trying to lose about 15 lbs. but it seems like these are so hard to get off!! They just don't want to let go of me!
 
I really don't have any suggestions for speeding things up other than watching calories, portion control, drinking water, and exercise!

Good luck to you!!! Keep reading and posting. This seems to be a really good site and you will get support!!
 
Hugs,
Rachelle
