Hi Jeanette, I'm sorry you sound so sad.  You don't need Dr Phil to help you, you CAN do it yourself.  You really can.  My mom is 70yrs old and was over weight for a long time.  I finally talked her into weight bearing exercises and she shed the pounds over a period of time.  She also has more energy than she's ever had.  If you can't afford a gym, go to Walmart, buy a cheap exercise tape or book  and some hand held weights 2-5lbs.   Get two of each and only start out with a couple sets a day working up over a period of time.  Sit in a dining room chair if you have too in the begining.  My mom did weight watchers as far as the food, but if you can't afford the frozen meals you can make your own.  Count all calories, read the labels on cans and packages.   Condiments count as well.  No more real mayo. Fatfree is good if you put lots of yummy spices in it.  I make an awesome chicken salad, you can too.  My mom did this alone, without me or a partner.   You can too, you have to want it bad enough.   If you cheat, move on it's not over.  The next meal do better. Take in no more than 1500 calories a day.  Even without exercise you'll still lose weight by doing this, however you will not feel as good.  I go to a physical therapy gym located next to the hospital.  Most folks in there are elderly.    If you can afford it, try to find something like that.  Lots of people your age all in the same boat.  If they can do it so can you.  Good luck to you.
