Diet Pill Desperation

My son is almost 2 now and the "I just had a baby" excuse is not working for me anymore. I was 204 lbs (5'2") before I got pregnant and I gained 75 lbs. I've gone down quite a bit and have hit a stopping point that leaves me feeling frusterated. I only have 15 more pounds to go to hit my goal but all my working out and eating right isn't doing a thing anymore. I'm getting discouraged and really didn't want to go this route but I need some sort of boost. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good diet pill, one that won't make me feel...

Need Ideas for Teaching My Son to Spell and Read.

My son just completed his second year of first grade and is now promoted to second grade. He still can not read or even spell the way they expect a first grader going into second grade should. I know for a fact that if this hadn't been his second year of first grade that they would have held him back. He has been tested for learning disabilities and I was told he is just fine in that department a little slower paced but he has no learning problems. He does have ADHD but is on medicine for that so that shouldn't be a concern...so they say. I...
