When you use the word dieting, it sends a message to yourself that you are denying yourself. I have watched what I ate for 10 months and have lost over 61 lbs. I did it by walking and eating sensibly. I use to eat sweets. This was my achilles heel. After I started eating healthy, my cravings went away. Just remember this is a day to day process and each day will be a challenge but you can do it. Following any diet is a mistake and will only bring failure when you try to adjust to a program. I tried many diets and eventually gained all the weight back plus some. I had to teach myself how to eat and what to avoid. Also, my son gave me a Fitbit for my birthday in December and this has been a great help. I log all my food for the day and make sure my calorie intake is within my goal for that day. Also, I walk at least 10,000 steps a day. Also, weigh yourself once a week and you can see your progress. I log my weight on the dashboard for Fitbit. You can do it. Keep us posted on your progress.

Elated, that's what I've been doing. Trying to cut out sugar and most carbs for a few days to get a boost. Will add back in a little at a time so I won't attack the first sweet thing I see and overdo it. I would love to lose about 30 pounds. That would put me right at my goal weight. It gets harder the older you get. I used to be able to lose 5 pounds in no time with little effort. Now it just keeps creeping up!

Not fair!

I am 70 years old and have continued to lose at least 4 to 5 pounds a month. For me, age has nothing to do with my progress.

I really don't have much to lose, maybe 5 to 10 pounds max. Have had great success in the past with WW. So I've been thinking of caling them again and going to some locally convenient meetings.

Bam - then here comes those annoying Oprah commercials. The "I Love Bread" pushed me away before, but this new one is worse. Sorry, Oprah, but seeing you in that black leotard outfit (which is not flattering) , and then with the spaghetti hanging out of your mouth just thoroughly convinces me that right now WW isn't where I want to go. Maybe when they get some real people with real lives and without a personal chef to cook for then. I'll think about it again.

Honestly I am sick of "celebrities" hawking diet plans, like Kristi Allely for Jenny Craig and/or Marie Osmond for Nutrisystem. Need to see some "average" American gals before I join in again. (I did like Kat on QVC!)

@PerkupOprah is in maintenance. Having been on WW, we can have 1/2 C of starch too. I'm doing salads some lean meats. I'm waiting on you!

I really don't know what stage she is in, but she looks not so good in that black leotard, and I have to say that nothing in that commercial makes me want to go back to WW.

For me, she looks llike she doesn't look like WW has done nearly enough for her. Why are you waiting on me? I weigh 121, but I am only 5'an 1/2 ".

I choose to call it eating healthy. And that's what I try to do.

Thanks for that, gives me hope!

Perkup, I totally agree with you about the celebrity thing. I do get the WW magazine and they have so many good recipes I use every day. I was really surprised about that. I don't know or use the point system, but the mag is very helpful to me. I also just got the Eat What You Love cookbook and it looks promising. Came at a great time.

Have a beautiful day, everyone!
