major players in loosing weight for me was

fit.com - free site to put in your calories, exercise, etc. yaa, it will take some time to track it but it will bring results. this site is a little oldfasioned, a more exciting site is sparkpeople.com - it is more comprehensive as well

forum on ediets - actually i didn't use any of other services offered but the 3 point forum was my lifeline, altho i didn't post much. 3 points are water, best food available in calorie range you need, and exercise - as simple as that - you do it everyday and you are all set

you know it is not as easy as it sounds and for that there were the rule - "no whining allowed" - you can not come in and wine how you got upset and eat the whole cake - no, nobody will say - Oh poor, you are so saaaad - nope you get your butt kicked for posting it. if you had a slip and you needed advice what to do so not to repeat it then it would be different.

what was also special was one member of that forum - her writings would touch you to the core. i have some of her of her musings saved and read them when i need a boost. there a lot of connection between food and emotions - and it helps to learn what food, eating means to you.

and then there is and issue of trigger food. for some it is no problem but for many there is some food that we just need to finish. i know for myself i can have ice cream in my fridge for days but then some strong emotion and it would start to call my name. so there was no ice cream in my fringe for years. but i go and eat an ice cream cone time at a time. but for some they need not to adjust but eliminate some of the food.knowing yourself, leaning by trial and error what work for you

education rules - i can send you some info on workouts and nutrition if you want.
