Losing weight can be difficult. I've struggled with that many times. Have you thought of consulting a dietician or a nutritionist to help? Maybe, they would offer some new suggestions.

It seems like they didn't listen to your needs. And it seems like you are doing a great job exercising at the pool and employing other methods to lose weight. What is your primary motivation behind your weight loss goal?

That's no good. I'll bet that is difficult to deal with. Have you thought about teaming up with a friend and going on daily walks?

Well, you could also take the kids on a walk every day. That would be a healthy activity to enjoy together, and it should help burn some of their energy too.
