i love the Mediterranean diet, it's pretty easy to follow. It's basically just eating really fresh, local, unprocessed foods with a focus on healthy fats. I recommend it highly.

Atkins here....Just celebrated 6 years

I'm 5'3 and want to lose 30 LBS so we are pretty close in height and weight. I am on Weight Watchers and the good thing about that is it's a lifestyle. You're not limiting your body to what you can and cannot have. You just have to stay within your points but you can eat what you want. I eat healthy but when I'm craving something I get to have it as long as I stay within my points. It's awesome...You don't want to do anything that's a "diet" because once you're off of it you'll gain back the weight. Different things work for different people...you just have to figure out what you can continue to do throughout your life Good Luck

Hey Karen...we can def keep up with one another. You're still a junior member but once you do some more posting...I think maybe 20, we will be able to private message each other and I will give you my email. Do you have AIM ? Maybe a blackberry to bbm? Let me know so we can chat. Hope you have a wonderful day !

I am a calorie counter. I have lost 157 pounds to date by counting calories and exercise.

Good luck with your goals.

Well it's tues one week since started weight watchers down...3 lbs..Atkins faster but can't live that way

[PlatinumGi]

2 lbs is awesome! Losing weight at a slower pace is much better than dropping a lot at once. It's much easier to keep off in the long run.
