[quote=Anonymous]Weight Watchers did it for me.  I fit your demographic profile, so it IS possible.

For me the WW game changers were "0 point foods" and "no food is off limits." You can eat as much 0 point foods as you want (lean protein, fruits, vegetables, beans) so you never have to be hungry. And you can balance out high point meals with low point ones, so "cheating" is ok. Somehow evern with these policies you still lose weight! I always failed diets before because of hunger and cravings. I would give into cravings for high calorie food, and then I would say, Oh well, my diet is blown, I might as well eat whatever I want. WW fixed those problems for me.

Starting was brutal, it felt like everything I usually eat was off limits. I advised a friend to start by sticking to the points budget for a few days a week and build up to full time. You probably won't lose weight while doing it part time, but it wil help you build good habits, find new recipes, and find substitutes for high point foods. Over time, you will find yourself losing your taste for fatty, overly sweet foods and enjoying the healthy stuff. WW truly does help make lasting lifestyle changes.

Ask your doctor. Mine was 100% behind WW and said people who stick with it see big heath gains. I did!

TBH, I don't exercise consistently. WW makes allowances for that too. Only WW has allowed me to lose weight without excercise.

Following WW accounts on social helped me get meal ideas and find low point products. And there are many recipes in the app. Skinnytaste also gives WW points for recipes, and their recipes are great.

Give it a try! Good luck![/quote]
