I have dropped 100 pounds in two years. I do not count calories, I just eat less of what I like. I also exercise.  I ride mymountain bike when weather allows and ride my stationary other times. If you do not get the metabolism up, you will not lose much as the body adjusts to the caloric intake.  Eat 5-6 small meals a day. This along woth exercise keeps the metabolism up.  Dont no punish y ourself by not having a little something once in awhile. Most diets fail as people try too hard. A pound a week is the way to go.  You did not put it all on in a month, so dont plan to take it all of in a month and keep it off.

I don't feel that you are totally wrong RangeRider. but I do feel that we stress over a multitude of issues FAR more than just dieting! Yes, the guilt trip that many try to put many of us on is REAL and WRONG. But I seriously believe that to diet for ONE'S OWN SELF IMAGE and happiness is very important. At my age, I would like to stick around for a few more fishing or hunting trips, If the Good Lord so wishes, So, for that reason alone, I try to improve MY health. I try to eat healthy and to get more exercise in order to enjoy life a little longer and in better life style. If I were to want to stress more, I could stress over the damage that was done to my body by Viet Nam. I am pretty sure the issues that happened to me there would probably account for a shorter life than if I had never gone. Water under the bridge. I also believe that the saying that the body is the Lord's temple had some validity, also. OOOPPS :o, sorry, I know that that is not PC. Sorry, don't give a sh*t (about PC) :o ;D In the end, though, You do have some valid points. Blessings to you.

Bubba: I have to agree with you also. I feel that we do have to pay a little attention to calories, carbs, sugars ETC., so that we may improve our life style. your way of doing it has great merit. positive reinforcement has a definite place in following a common sense diet.

I guess what it boils down to is : you do what you feel is best for you and works. If I want to stress on something, I can surely find far more important things to stress on----------such as : how about finding out my relationship to my Higher Power whom I choose to call God The Father and Jesus Christ. OKAY??? :P
