Is ther any hope for me?

Hi, I'm 36 years old, I'm 5.6 in height and weigh 260 lbs. I would love to lose weight, but I have all these concerns, My friend lost over 100 pounds over a two year period and she ended up having to have a tummy tuck and a breast lift, even though she exersized regularly. I'm afraid that I will look even worse when and if I lose the weight. I know what I have to do, but I never seem to get enough gumption to do it. I tried the Atkins diet,which allowed me to lose about 20 lbs. but I felt incomplete with out any carbs. Now I can't seem to get going. Yes, I gained it back and then some. My husband has a terrible diet, he always has since he was a small child. So its hard to get support from him. I would like to get him to go on a diet with me, but there are alot of things he won't eat. He quit smoking in February and he has went from 130 to 175. He has had high colesterol for a long time. Do you have any words of incouragement? Thanks!
