I like WW because I am competitive, and having to weigh in each week keeps me on track.<br /><br />That being said, while I am using WW, I view my eating as a lifestyle - I still eat wings, pizza and bagels, just not all in one day, every day!<br /><br />Happy Monday Debbi!Bizhttp://mybizzykitchen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946185632715199820.post-59730032637407584702011-05-23T05:06:19.636-05:002011-05-23T05:06:19.636-05:00Well here's an issue I can talk with some auth...Well here's an issue I can talk with some authority here, as I have tried lots of online and offline programs, guides, diets, "magical treatments" etc. Pretty much everything except weight loss surgery.<br /><br />I have to say that the two things that helped me most are:<br /><br />1) Weight loss blogs, forums and generally the online community.<br /><br />2)Simple good ol' calorie counting, which is something everyone can do by themselves (with the help of the numerous online and offline calorie guides)Tom Gellakhttp://bit.ly/k00mQznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946185632715199820.post-81116390527835953872011-05-22T20:49:44.691-05:002011-05-22T20:49:44.691-05:00I agree.

I'm not great at writing on mine but i'm trying to get better at that and i have found the comments to be encouraging and helpful. I had to get my mindset in the right place but you all help me stay here. Thanks for everything.lv2https://www.blogger.com/profile/07059353542261448893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946185632715199820.post-71129815162495881842011-05-22T18:03:55.892-05:002011-05-22T18:03:55.892-05:00The biggest thing for all of this is that we have ...The biggest thing for all of this is that we have to decide it time. No one can tell us, no one can make us and when we decide, thank God there are others out there doing the same thing, trhing to get as healthy as possible.<br />We can do this together. No matter what part of this challege we are in, the beginings, middle, ends, maintainance together we can do it.<br />Take care and have a blessed week. Lots of challenges ahead, lots of support around.

I've seen THREE dietitians since then, and the last one was just to tweak the DDDY 1200 plan for my medical conditions and allergies. I've done WW like 5 times, never for more than a couple months. I did Nutrisystem back when it was newish. Bleh. I did assorted days or week of diets from books (South Beach, Atkins, Rotation Diet).<br /><br />This is the time it stuck. Part of it I think was having done a lot of self-examination and learning while blogging. Then the challenges started for me being serious things in June 2010...That first challenge taught me that the accountability of challenges WAS good for me and being able to do it at home was easy. Available 24/7 , not one or two meetings a week.<br /><br />They are helpful. I'm happy I decided to weight loss blog and make changes.Princess Dieter aka Mirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121450857817115011noreply@blogger.com
