Well. I'm back. Since I last posted on this thread, I dropped another 15 pounds. That makes 50, all told. I still want to lose another 35 to 45 this year. I am still on the old Weight Watchers regimen although I don't go to their meetings or pay their fees. I have their book of "points" and I keep well under the reccomended number for my weight. I don't excersise enough and, at age 63, my metabolism aint what she used to be but I am under a doctor's eye for safety sake.
I am a chronic overeater (It's made me what I am, today) so I still gorge myself but I do it with tons of salad or stir fry. I hope that my success will be encouraging to others in my age group.
I should add that it was the threat of diabedes that shocked me into this diet. I was over the sugar limit and the doctor told me that it was lose weight or reach for the needle. I guess it took that gun to my head to do the trick. I keep that image in my mind to keep myself in line, even though I am no longer in danger.
I wish you all luck and perserverence.
