Michele, good job though losing those 2 lbs. I know it is tough and I know what you mean about stress. It really does have an effect. We definately had our share and all at once, but I am back and ready to go. I still like my wine, but even on my diet, I can have it occasionally (red only), but in real moderation.

Those 6 lbs were the first week back, I figure that even with working out the next weeks will be about 3 lbs. I know its not fair that men lose weight easier than women. Also the diets vary so much for different people. I am doing low carb, and it seems to work for me. My daughter and wife however do much better while on Weight Watchers.
