Thanks so much to the 35 who answered my call on diets.  17 listmates
suggested Weight Watchers.  50% was a good percentage so off I went to my
first ww
meeting.  The first week was tough as we had dinner out 5 out of seven nights.
This was very very unusual for us.  Well low and behold to my amazement I lost
2 pounds.  Hooray!

The second week I was careful as we had dinner at home and  I was able to
monitor my meals.  At the next weigh in I stepped jauntily on the scale and
guess
what! I had gained back the lost two pounds.  So what happened?  I'm almost
afraid to go to the next meeting but I wll.  The rest of the suggestions were
as follows:

5 for Dr. Atkins Diet
2 for South Beach Diet
Carbohydrate Addicts Diet
Schwartzbein  Diet
Warrior Diet
Paleo Diet
