I started with Weight Watchers and lost about 40 lbs. before getting stuck on a 16-month plateau. Then I switched to MyFitnessPal.com and lost 95 lbs. in about 14 months. My journey has been an amazing (often frustrating) experience.

    Well done! I'm where you were...sort of. I lost 80 + pounds several years ago, gained it back and am now in the "thinking stage" you describe in your blog. You've inspired me. If you can, I can, right?!! Thanks so much for sharing!

    Thank you for writing the blog. I am 65, and so frustrated. I have been trying to lose weight for 2 years, with no success. I have also thought about joining WW. I have not read all of your blog, but you have given me hope, and also, made me face reality. I don't always log that glass of wine, or crackers I eat before bed. So its no wonder I am not losing. Thank you for sharing your success story.
