[quote=Anonymous]I'm SAHM who's lost 23 pounds over six months. I have another 20 to go. It'll probably take another six months. I'm giving myself a year or more to lose the weight slowly on the theory that I'll keep it off longer that way.
 Here's what I do: Weight Watchers paper tracking religiously and take my kids for after dinner walks daily. On some weeks, I'll regain a pound or two. Then I have to look back on my paper tracker and admit that I ate too much or didn't walk enough. However, I only lose half a pound to a pound per week. WW's set up for a weekly loss of only 0.5-2.0 pounds per week. WW's theory is that fad diets doom people to quick losses and quick regains.
  Taking my kids out for nightly walks of half an hour each (I have three) guarantees that they all get individual attention/discussion time and that they all get in the habit of exercise early in life so that I pass on healthy habits.
  Note: I have a very supportive spouse who watches the kids when I go to weekly meetings and while each has an individual walk.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
