As someone who was groomed by her mother to have a specific body type, and ridiculed publicly when I didn't have that, as someone who was told by her father that it looked like I had a tire in my waist band, as someone that was an exercise bulimic in her late teens and was grey-faced and wan from being unhealthy, as someone who watched her best

Ah ha Alton Brown is the culprit. Weight can be a really sensitive issue for some people and I totally get that. On the other hand people have to pause and ask wheter or not they are projecting.

My bones and joints are thanking me, trust. Especially my knees. Yes WW is a really good program. They tell you to forbid no foods, but learn portion control. They really emphasize that it's not a diet it's lifestyle change. It also helps that all the group leaders have done the program our leader is a doll. He's lost 50lbs and maintained it for 5 years. After you reach your goal with WW ( you set the goal with the help of your doctor or a BMI chart) you get to still attend the program free, so you always have people to support you. It's a good component IMO to help you maintain.

I am all about the walking. I love it. It feels so good to move. I do have to pay more attention to stretching I tend to want to skip it but I know I shouldn't. That's a good thing about the dvd's they do make you stretch.

Thanks so much for the cheers. Every bit helps. BTW your 30lbs loss is awesome. I applaud anybody who loses weight it is tough, and it takes commitment.
