I was diagnosed with border line diabetes. My doctor tells me if I can loose a few pounds I will be fine. But I cant curve 162. I was barely 120 when i got preggers with my son and when i delivered I was over 200. Now I am stuck at 160. I walk alot and eat for themost part pretty healthy, considering I am a pretty picky eater,. Does anyone know f any good diets or support groups? I really need to loose seom weight to feel better about myself and keep myself healthy as well. It is hard being a single mother, as I am sure all you single mothers out there know. Also my tummy is a serious mountain of stretch marks that are deep and wrap all the way around my body. I have used creams but they dont seem to do any good. Any suggestions for those??

My neighbour goes to weight watchers and has had a lot of success with that... That might be an option or Jenny Craig perhaps... Outside of that, keep up your walking, if you can find time to fit other stuff in, go for it...Get a pilates dvd and do it when you get time 2-3 times a week, only takes 30 minutes to do a quick one... I did pilates dvd before when I tried out the Atkins diet and it worked for me...helped me get more tone and lose inches...
Ummm as for stretch marks, I'm not sure what helps, I have them and would love to get rid of them as well. Though I have heard that vitamin E and coco butter I think it is, helps...I don't know how true that is though.
Good luck and contrats on the birth of your son :)

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.
The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.
Get started today!

Get the book "Body for Life" by Bill Phillips, also has a web site with same name www.bodyforlife.com workouts take less than an hour each day , eat regular foods, I lost 40 pounds in 12 weeks and have kept it off. Everyone has an hour a day to be healthy, and I did all my workouts at home no gym. If you really want something you'll find the time and a way to do it, there are no magic pills to be healthy just plain exercise and a sound diet.

cut out sugar, starch, and don't eat within 3 hours of bedtime which requires LOTS of self discipline. If that's too much to do, then try a diet pill that curbs your appetite. Don't buy the ones from Wal-Mart. The best ones come from the health food stores, such as Nutrition Depot. Try Lipo-6 or RedLine
