Sandy, I am pretty much following Weight Watchers. I am not a member any more but I do well on their program, when I actually follow it. The fact that on their program I can eat whatever I want as long as i count it works in my mind. The way my mind works if I am not allowed to have something I will crave it like crazy. If I know I can have it if I want it doesn't bother me as much.
I am also trying to exercise more. I have been going to a spinning class 3x a week, riding about 50-55 miles a week. I am also doing a group power class 2x a week. That is lunges, squats and other exercises with weights. I have been somewhat disappointed in my weight loss numbers lately but my clothes are a lot loser. I guess the numbers on the scale will eventually happen.
