Weight Watchers has a great plan, and if you dont/cant leave home, you can do it online. its simple, it makes sense, its easy to follow, and it has reasonable expectations from you.

Lets say all food has a point value Fruit is zero, most veggies are zero, and lets say a steak 2oz is 4 points. Milk (skim) 8oz is 2 a mixed vege dish is zero, and that bread roll is costing 2 points. you just used 8 points for one meal. Most of us have about 26 to 30 points per day. now if you want to add more points, you can exercise and add or you can take away from the weekly pile. You get extra points each week so you never ever feel deprived or cornered by the diet.

Weightwatchers.com will have all the info. My niece just started it and is thrilled. I am a long time planner, and love it. It doesnt matter if I eat at McDonalds or cook everything from scratch. As long as I have the points to afford the food, I can have it. I always save points twice a week for an ice cream treat. Since I make most of my meals from scratch I have to look up alot of ingredients, but once I write them down, I dont have to look it up again.

What is good is that it got me to think before I grabbed a cookie, or cracker for a snack. I will grab an orange or banana now as they are free from points.

HUGE support for this system and its very highly rated around the USA with good success rates, and message boards for every type of desire. Even 2 MS and losing weight boards.

Let us know. ((hugs))

by the way for every 5% of the weight you take off, your joints will thank you. your energy should pick up, and you will feel better about things.
