[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 706635, member: 18238"] Lil and I have done Weight Watchers before and been very successful with it. She dropped 100 lbs and I dropped 50. Then we stopped and gained the weight back. Our numbers right now are firmly pre-diabetic and if we don't do something it could get bad. I like the "Pick your hard" thing as well! Right now I weigh 280 lbs and am miserable. I can't move right, get out of breath just walking to my car, nothing fits right, you all know the routine. The main thing to remember is that it ISNT a diet! Its a lifestyle change. That was our problem on WW, we quit the lifestyle and lost the benefits. Yes, it was a royal pain to do all the measuring and what not but it worked. Really, the measuring was the main reason we quit. It just got too tedious. Last week we started using the Infernal Machine again (aka the elliptical) and I've started monitoring what I eat again. Not doing WW this time, but using a website called myfitnesspal.com. It lets you track what you eat and adjust different nutrient intakes. My two big issues are sugar and salt. I eat WAY too much of both. That combined with a very sedentary lifestyle is a recipe for disaster. Like others have said, what works for one doesn't always work for everyone. Try something and if it doesn't work then adjust. As far as your daughter goes, you can't force her to do anything. The best thing you can do is get yourself healthy and hopefully she will see how it improves your life and that will motivate her to make the changes as well. If it doesn't, it doesn't. [/QUOTE]
