I appreciate everyone's input. So far, here are the nuggets that gained:
• my wife should get involved with this site for encouragement
• we may need to do something about depression issues
• more activity and exercise is critical (family walks good!)
• a "diet" may not work, but there needs to be eating changes (I'm writing down the suggestions you are all making regarding what to eat / not eat)
• don't focus on weight, focus on health
• Metformin can be helpful if taken consistently

I have no idea what BMI is, but if it involves blood work I'm sure we can have that done here. Is there a place on this site (or somewhere else) that explains what things need to be measured in her next blood test?
