  My wife and I both started Weight Watchers about 5 months ago because she wanted to drop the baby weight she put on while pregnant with our son. To date I have lost 40 pounds and am in better shape then I was in high school. My wife has lost over 30 pounds and is also thinner then in high school, and she's still losing weight (she is about 3 lbs from her target weight). I have hit my target weight and am now maintaining by adding additional points and continuing the exercise routine. Weight Watchers has been great for us because we can eat whatever we want, but we only get so many points per day so we have to make decisions about what we eat. I can have Taco Bell for lunch for 14 points, or I can have a turkey sub from Subway (hold the Mayo) for 10 points and have an ice cream sandwich for 4 points after dinner. The biggest change hasn't so much been what we eat, or even how much we eat (although we eat much more appropriate portions now), instead the biggest change has been how I think about food, how I perceive foods that are inherently unhealthy versus more healthy options. It's been a life changing process and I'm never going back. Thanks Mark
