Weight Watchers Superbowl Commercial
What did you all think about the Weight Watchers commercial on the Superbowl? I thought it was really well done and SPOT ON. We are constantly bombarded with food advertising, incentives to buy more food, bigger portions, eat, eat, eat. It is no wonder there is an obesity crisis in America. I know everyone has to take…

Dumbest thing you told yourself about why you are fat.....
So, I have to laugh at myself. After six months of hard work I am finally starting to lose my tummy. I can tell in the mirror it is going down. When I was heavy I told myself I stretched my tummy out by having 3 10 pound babies and it wasn't fixable. It wasn't stretched out, it was fat lol.

Did you watch "Fat and Back" last night? Thoughts?
IMO the woman on the show is totally clueless about obesity and why people are heavy. What did you think about it?

What are you doing that is working?
Just curious to know what little things or "tricks" people are doing that they think is working. Here are some of mine. * Totally gave up bread, cheese, and wine.

Inlaws
Curious if anyone is dealing with in-laws and losing weight? My MIL is so happy I have lost 38 pounds but then says in the next sentence "keep going - you still have a way to go." It makes me want to start drinking wine again - which I gave up to lose weight.
