For what it's worth, I found weight loss through another revelation -- that of being gluten intolerant. It's been quite a quest over these last few years--first the Gluten and then Type 2 Diabetes. I found as I got older I (I was always the skinny kid) I began to put on weight. Once the Gluten sensitivity was revealed I struggled for a long time with the transition away from Gluten. It was like being on the South Beach Diet all the time but with the help of my wife we've come a long way. The weight drops and stays off but the best thing--migraine headaches that I fought for years have all but disappeared and there's an overall feeling of -- well, just feeling much better. Leaving the Gluten off the menu did wonders for me in so many ways. Congratulations again! I too congratulate you on your success.

I have slacked off my exercises a bit recently, I really should make more effort to do them daily.

I let myself put weight on and it was only when my doctor made a comment that I decided to do something about it.... I bought a set of dumbbells and a weight bench, put on some muscle, burnt off the fat and at 58 I've never felt better. Works for women too. You look great Kris

Good luck with your road biking! I bought a new cookbook recently, it's been great so far, and should be excellent for winter, lots of yummy looking soups! Scott — Good on you!

I lost about 35lbs on it a few years ago. Then let myself go again after some troubling/stressful times :-) I was too strict with myself when I was on WW and got burned out on it and can't make myself do it again.But I have determined to just eat healthier, more fruits/veggies, less fast foods, and will take up road biking in the next month. I've also started doing the 'green smoothie' thing...basically hiding your greens in fruit based smoothies and getting all your daily servings in the morning. just google green smoothies on youtube. I bought the high speed blendtec blender and it totally rocks it. it will make ice cream/sorbet and hot soups too :-)Its really cool knowing exactly what is in your smoothie or soup. No additives, preservatives, sodium, etc. You have to eat it right away because there are no preservatives and it won't stay good for days :-)Keep it up and let your inner self change with the outer.

I admit that I saw your photo on a post and thought "who is that cute girl" and then clicked on your picture. I saw your photos before you lost weight and then your more current ones. I just wanted to say that I have a weight problem and am about to look into weight watchers now. Congratulations. You are an inspiration! Hi Kris -
