Wendy - I'm with you 100% about "concentrating on eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly and feeling good about ourselves". You said that beautifully.

My latest weight loss/regain (before & after PIP) has made me more determined than ever to ban the word "diet" and find an eating plan that fits into my life on a daily basis. It has to include the food I love but in moderation. Otherwise I will always reach a breaking point in any "diet" and go after all those favorite foods in big quantities and just regain any weight I've lost.

I've decided that even if it takes two years to lose the weight I want at a SLOW, RELAXED pace, I have a much better chance of changing my outlook about eating and finally get down and keep it off.
