[quote=Anonymous][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.
  T[b]aking 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.[/b]
  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.
