From: Hud on 28 Aug 2007 16:26 Isn't interesting there are so few posters in this newsgroup? Eating less is a must...yet no one wants to do it. Lol. They gravitate toward the gimmick diet plans. I once did too. I've tried Atkins and had success. But after a while I'd kill for a piece of cake! One slip and you're set back for about 3 days or as long as it takes you to get back in ketosis. After you stop Atkins, your body turns into a carbohydrate sponge. Big time! I put the weight back on because even though I knew how to do Atkins, I still never learned to eat like a normal person. Atkins. I just can't put myself through that again. Weight Watchers is a good program. My wife counts points. She went from about 180 to 150 following the point program. Weight Watchers is essentially a low calorie diet. You have to convert calories, grams of fiber and fat into a point value. It's easy with the slide ruler they give you. We even have a Weight Watchers calculator. But why not make it easier? I am. I simply count calories. For the past two days I've been eating 1800 calories. I"m 45 and my current weight is 249 lbs. I'll be posting here and will share my progress. And I'm looking forward to reading about everyone elses experiences here. Well, I've got to get off the computer and ride my bike. I've got a 10 mile route to complete before dard. I do hope there are others here! This is the way to go. I'll check back after my ride and a shower.

Great workout. Just from pedaling in the heat my weight dropped from 249 to 247. Water. But I'll take it. Tomorrow I'm going to walk for 5 miles. Hope there are some signs of life here soon. Lol.

Good luck with the calorie counting. Software like the Fitday download and a good kitchen scale are important for accuracy. Eyeball estimates go wrong. Any diet that produces weightloss must have had reduced calories. It is amazing that this group is usually dead.
