I saw a product called Fitbook Junior that may work as a teaching tool to help you. It's a journal for food, exercise, home and school goals. It helps parents and kids focus on healthy behaviors and less about the numbers.

Drink more at night?

My husband and I have date night once a week. I usually pick what I want from the menu regardless of calories, but I skip the bread basket and dessert. One meal a week that is over my average calories doesn't negate my progress.

Most of them are disabled and get SSI. I believe obesity counts as a disability when the person is unable to handle everyday tasks like taking care of themselves. The show stated that the husband didn't work hecause he was a full-time caregiver.

My husband and I often cook separate meals. It doesn't cost any more as long as we don't throw away the leftovers.

I saw a dietician once several years ago and would not consider it a useful experience. It seemed like she had one speech that she uses for everyone and was not willing to waver from that. She didn't take the time to learn about me, assess my knowledge level or find out what my challenges were. I'm sure there are good ones…

How long has your weight loss been stalled?

I tried it when they had a one month free promotion. I liked not seeing the ads, but that was the only benefit for me. I can't install AdBlock on my work computer.

I'm 5'7" and my goal is 140. This number was provided as an ideal weight by my insurance company several years ago. I'll adjust if needed when I get close.

Agreed. Normally I like watching the show, but Sean's episode was just really sad.
