Need a Kick Start..............

I'm really wanting to lose some weight, and my doctor said he'd put me on Meridia to help me get started.

12 Week Old Allergic to Dairy/possibly Soy

I would love to hear any experiences other moms have had. If you are breastfeeding, what kinds of things did you cook and/or would anyone send good dairy-free recipes to me? Thank you so much!

Has Anyone Tried South Beach Diet or Any Diet That Works Well with Out Starving

Hi There, I am trying to find a diet program that I have not tried. I have done it all. I don't like counting calories. I don't like eating packaged foods. How is South Beach? I would love to know if that diet has worked for anyone. What about something that you started or even invented that will help me stick to the program and lose the weight? Thank you so much, Pamela ____@____.com
