Actually I’m a long term member but have just upgraded to Premium so that I could get more of a fully rounded program. I have gained 15 pounds over the last 6 months and I can’t seem to lose any of it. I need a community to support me in my goal. Someone needs to hold me accountable or I will never lose the weight alone.

    At the risk of sounding like a smart *kitten*, you are the only person who can hold you accountable.

    I’ve tried the whole,”Honey, don’t let me eat this or that, OK?”

    That doesn’t work and all it does is make me mad and him defensive.

    You’ll find support here in spades, but ya gotta get that motivation from inside. It’s not that hard. You’ve just got to make the decision to start.

    Find some posters that you respect and ask to be added to their friends list. There are many “successful losers” (great oxymoron!!!) here, just find some who have your style.

    And immerse yourself in these boards, especially the success story board, and in particular the NSV (non scale victory) thread. I have read it from beginning to end and it’s helped me through a few dark days.
