I just signed up for WW online! Wow, the points system is going to take some time getting used to. I'm allowed 32 points! Wow, I thought it was something like only 24. It's going to take a lot of time to get used to counting and calculating and measuring, but I'm ready....I really need some accountability and focus!

My goal weight is 175lbs. For now my goal is to get to the 2lbs a week for the next 3 months.

I am blogging about my experience with the point system. My blog is located at dietgroove.blogspot.com. I call it "A voice in the wilderness of weight loss." I hope to pass on some tips and help other dieters succeed as I have.

Here's an excerpt. I hope this helps and I wish you great success.

"The first step is to equip your kitchen with the tools you need. I went out and bought brand new measuring spoons, cups (liquid and dry) and a food scale. You can find them online or at any kitchen or department store. Target has a ton of fun food measuring gadgets at great prices on their website. I splurged a little and bought All-Clad. They are wonderful. I also have colorful measuring bowls and three other sets of measuring spoons. There are tons different food measuring items out there. I had a blast shopping for them. I felt I was buying equipment for a new adventure.
In my kitchen, I now keep all of my measuring tools close and handy.
Use them all day every day and you will take control of how much you eat. It's easy!"
