For Helena

Hi Helena, I was going to write back to you but then couldn't find the message you sent with your results so I guess I'll hopefully get you on this.

You asked me what my "secret" was and I guess the only thing I can say is Weight Watchers.  I am a die-hard fan.  I've tried a multitude of diets, all of which worked but I gained the weight right back.  I LOVE this diet because it doesn't seem like a diet that much because you don't have to deprive yourself.  If you want to use some of your points on a cookie then you can, and I have.  The point system is great and they give you a range you can have.  For my weight it is an 18-25 point range (most fruits are 2 points and a LOT of vegies are 0 points and the higher the fiber content the less points which means a w.w. type slice of bread is only 1 point whereas a white piece is 2 so it definitely pays to eat healthy on this diet) so on the days I'm hungrier I eat closer to the maximum and on other days I just use the low end.  I've also exercised for years and years so have continued that plus have added a bit during the contest.  I never lose a ton of weight each week but it's pretty steady which is nice.  You are doing awesome though, I think everybody is and we should all be proud of ourselves, I know I am.
