I'm sitting watching the opening episode of the new season of The Biggest Loser. The combined weights of some of these teams is pretty amazing. But as I look at the numbers, I recall that Gill and I weighed a combined total of over 600lbs something like six years ago.
Her amazing weight loss achievement is often lost in the fact that I pulled a considerably larger number and now work for Weight Watchers, but she has done incredibly well.
Weight loss is not a mysterioust skill. With the right approach, you can do it in a thousand different ways. With some programs it's down to weird eating ideas, while others try to baffle you with science.
Losing weight comes down to three simple skills -
1. Eat well
2. Be active
3. Repeat
I am totally sold on Weight Watchers because it provides a framework to not only follow those three simple principles, but to live with them and maintain weight loss.
The new PointsPlus program is a proven winner. So if you're not on board yet, come see me at a local WW center - very soon!
