I think the Dr is a great starting point and it's great that your hubby wants to support you. I guess the main thing is that I know my parents have dieted so often over the yrs, but the weight only shifted when they got some exercise in as well, My Dad now walks every night as he was diagnosed with diabetes a few weeks ago and he has lost 6kgs in about 6 weeks so that is really promising. Of course he is walking 5klms now but you only need to start small, like walk around the block for a few days and then maybe increase the distance by a litlle more every few days. The amazing thing is the more exercise you get the more you want to do it. I lost 8kgs in 3 months after my 2nd child (I only lost 4kgs up til he was15mths old and still had the 8 to lose to be at a weight I was happy with), I used to walk for an hour every night and push the pram as well, up and down hills, and I got back into the dress I brought to wear in our wedding, which I fitted into before I had him. So there is hope, just small steps at a time.
