I've been following the thread with interest, thank you for starting it, Bizi. I have about 50-60 lbs of med/depression/insomnia weight to lose. I've been trying on my own, but I keep floundering, not sure what sort of eating plan I want to do, plus taking far too much comfort and pleasure in overeating.

I've been increasing my activity with a regular strength training/yoga routine, plus a bit of elyptical, and a bit of walking and doing more housework. But my obese state makes exercise difficult, I get joint pain and fatigue quickly. I know I really need to be making changes to me diet in order to feel better.

Does anyone have any thoughts on Weight Watchers? It seems like a sensible program, and I thought the outside structure and company of other people might help me out a bit.
