I'm in the process of losing weight, so far it is 35 lbs. I'm using Weight Watchers and find that I need to exercise in helping to lose the weight.

I had never been able to lose weight until, purely by accident, I caught a PBS special with Dr. Joel Fuhrman...he also has a website and lots of FANTASTIC vinegars he sells. It may be a little harsh for some, it is pretty much vegan without bread, rice, white potatoes....but when I made up my mind to do it I was losing 1# per day until I was down 30#. Now I am losing about 1# per week and the diet is easy for me to follow although I will admit I have slacked up a bit because I enjoy a bag of popcorn occasionally. I think everyone has to find what works for them and we are all different.

Childof the, decky, and Michelle - WONderful - you should be so proud, and it is nice to know that when we "sacrifice" we are rewarded. Keep up the good work!!

no sugary things (donuts, cake, cookies etc) and reasonable carbs lost 22 pounds in 5 months easily and have 30 to go and may I add I work in a school where home baked goodies are a daily staple and I have a very sweet tooth!
