I had been trying to figure out how to get faith to excersize more. Everything I tried did not work. When I went to the vet, he suggested that I first monitor her food, and get her down to eating 2x a day and no more than 2/3 of a cup. He said to start taking the bowl up at night only to get the cats used to not having the food out all the time and work it down until it's only put out twice a day. He said once she looses a little weight she will become more active.
When I started she weighed 19lbs. I am proud to say that she's lost 2lbs! She's now down to 17lbs She's more active at night so I use the lazer pointer. She will run around after it. She's also started playing with fuzzy mice as well. I've also switched her to the light cat formula of Chicken Soup. When I started she wouldn't do anything but lay around and now she's is more active. The vet said that she seems to be doing well on the new diet.
Now I just have to figure out how I keep the two of the skinnier cats from loosing weight.

We have one of the fosters, Herbie, on a diet as well and we can already notice the difference. He's on a wet food diet, and although he wasn't too impressed at first, he's gotten used to it.
