After a couple of not-so-successful tries, I'm now doing very well on Weight Watchers. I have much more incentive this time, and combining it with contra dancing is helpful.

I like their online journal-keeping site; it's actually fun to use, like a game. Their vegetable soup recipe is incredibly good, but has almost no calories. I think of it as will power by the quart. I just had some for dinner.

I used to hear the British term "I'm slimming" rather than "I'm on a diet". I think that has a much more positive spin.
