GL, I've always hoped for the "no effort" weight loss plan too. It doesn't exist. Changing your eating habits and exercise are really the only way to go, with the exceptions of Rx pills and surgery, which you wouldn't qualify for unless you were morbidly obese.

My efforts finally showed up on the scale this morning. I hadn't budged from the 125 mark in over a week. Yesterday afternoon I decided to let myself have an "eat whatever you want" night because I was frustrated with being so conscientious about what I was eating and not seeing any results. I stepped on the scale this morning and it read 123. I've lost 7 pounds in about 3-1/2 weeks doing things the right way.

My motivation is back. Whooo hoooo!!!!
