I had a baby (baby #3) 6 months ago. I am 35 yrs old. I have tried exercise, diets and I always end up quitting. I just don't have the time, energy, willpower, etc. I know it would be best for me to lose about 20lbs, but at this rate, I know I will not. I hate how I look and feel, it is affecting my emotions and my attitude towards alot of things. I want to know if 20lbs weight loss is enough for a doctor to normally prescribe a prescription for it. Does anyone know?

first of all the rx drugs for wieght loss arn't that good yet. second your not going to get them unless you are considered "obese", that is more than 50 or 75 pounds over weight. there is no way your going to get a docter to perscribe you drugs for 20lbs.

your BMI - body mass index - has to be over 40.
you have to see your doctor about this.
