I did read some where when you get older older...that it gets easy to lose weight again...my Mom would disagree...but her knee is a blow out/so she doesnt move around much Ya when I was younger I could lose 6lbs in no time...then about 2 to 3lbs a week after that!!!!!!! You would figure though that if you were excersising...that you would boost yer metabolism/hence losing weight....It must be those "stinkin little hormones"!!!!!!!!! Im doin aerobics, walking, and light weights every day!!!!! Well we can't give up Its just maddening thats all!!!!! Imagine starving on weight watchers, and not losing a pound like this????? You would cry your eyes out...at least you know this diet does work...because the amount of food eaten, and we dont gain...we stay the same or lose a bit...
