[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 529479, member: 2211"] Shelly, it is very difficult for me to stay on any diet. For ME, I have had the best success with weight watchers...and not because they give you great choices of foods to eat (I actually subscribe to the Starbie diet myself). The reason WW works FOR ME is because I am being held accountable on a weekly basis. I want to weigh in each week and feel GOOD, even if I only lost .25 lbs, it's something to cheer about...and at WW they WILL cheer when you lose! And you get gold stars and key rings when you lose more. Each week you get a mini booklet with great info and Recipes, etc. They have you introduce exercise as you are able, at your level of ability. Plus, WW has a couple of different plans now. The one I follow is the Core plan, because I'm mostly vegetarian and try to incorporate all whole and natural foods in my diet as opposed to packaged meals. Incidentally, the WW and lean cuisines' etc, they have a lot of sodium, which causes bloat, so be careful with those. I know people who only ate WW meals and never lost a pound. Once they began planning better and eating their own food, they lost. For me, I just want to feel more comfortable in my clothes and lighter inside. WW helps me stay on task. No white foods and I'm good to go. I only eat a pasta that is made from artichoke flour, it's nutty and delicious. Splenda is my sugar, in moderation, no sodas of any kind, no white breads or chips (okay, I cheat with salt and vinegar chips occasionally), dark chocolate pieces only, such as dark chocolate coved almonds, yum. Just my two cents. Each of us are built differently-you need to find what works for you. The older we get the more difficult it is to shed unwanted pounds, so you have to get creative and think outside the box. I have a friend who got the lap band and liposuction! Guess what? She gained nearly all her weight back. So why have a drastic surgery like that if there is no guarantee it will last? Hugs. You can do this-you quit smoking! [/QUOTE]
