[quote=Anonymous]I'm 43 and recommend WW. I started about 6 weeks ago and have lost 8 pounds after seeing my weight slowly go up over the last four years from 135 to 172! I'm still horrified typing that. During that time, I ran two marathons and worked out 5 times a week while eating what I thought was a pretty healthy diet. The truth is, I was snacking way more than I was admitting and taking extra bites of my kids' foods, having a regular handful of candy at the office, etc. It was all stuff that I thought was minor, but it added up big time over the years.

I eat all of my daily and weekly points on WW and frequently dip into my Fit Points as well, but I try to only spend my FPs on healthy foods when I'm actually hungry from exercise. I also only track FPs from my HIIT workouts and not from any other form of "activity." I burn 400-600 in a workout, but I can no longer eat that back if I want to lose weight. :( My only caveat with WW is that you still have to eat reasonable portions of zero point foods. I have no desire to eat more than 2 eggs in a day or a single chicken breast of piece of salmon at a time, but I know that can be an issue for some people. I also don't stuff myself with fruit, though I don't limit either. Those aren't my trigger foods.

Good luck. I know this thread is starting to sound like it's sponsored by WW, but in my age group, lots of us are doing it and having success for the first time in years. [/quote]
