...and I'm wondering who else saw the video article about the woman that lost 100lbs thanks to this site. I'm Nadia. I've tried Jenny Craig and battled my weight since I learned that I should be dieting (think fat jokes made by other kindergartners). I thought I finally got it licked about two years ago on JC's plan. The only problem was when I went off the plan the weight didn't stay off. I got married about a year ago and like your first year in college I gained weight....in the sum of 60-ish lbs. (Gee, that looks gross written down) Anyhow, my husband is now fighting his battle with weight on a no carb diet and I thought it was time for me to do so as well. I'm not a no carb girl and have success with the calorie counting/exercise route before...but only stay around for about a week and they ice cream and deep fried yummies seem to come my way. I'm hoping that this site will help me stay on track and learn better, long term habits. I think its already helped me fight one of the battles that I've had in the past--figuring out the calories for my food intake journal---THANK YOU FOR DOING THE MATH FOR ME!
Anyhow...that's where I'm at and why I'm here....now I'm going to read your blogs and learn about you all.

    I actually started this site before the Today show and I love it as well. I have lost weight where I never have before. Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Nutrasystem etc. None of them worked for more than a month.

    This is a lifestyle change and it has to be a change you really want to make.

    Good Luck

    Debbie
