You know I hate it as much as you do, but the Wii Fit has REALLY helped. Sometimes I still don't feel like doing it, but I can tell myself, "It's not exercise, it's a video game! I want to beat my high score!" and that helps. (You can play around with it at my house over the holidays if you want -- I think you've tried it out somewhere but the newer Plus version has better games.) But I also think "healthy eating" is great, and probably realistic, esp. during the holidays! :)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('4766','Toni'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('4766','Toni','I\'ve relaxed my caloric intake a little at this point, too, but I will say I\'m exercising more.

I really believe that diets don't work...except for the short term...and who wants to deprive themselves for months and go through all that only to gain the weight back and be back where you started...what a waste of time and emotions. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you have to change the way you eat....forever. In my case somewhere along the way I got in the bad habit of really only eating one meal a day. At first it was really silly having nothing all day and I mean nothing but maybe coffee but it was easy because if there is one thing that we share it is that I used to love the feeling of eating until I was just stuffed!! So when I decided that it wasn't healthy and I needed to eat atleast three meals a day I failed at first becuase I started eating breakfast and lunch but then still eating a huge meal at the end of the day and I did gain weight in the beginning. But I stuck to it and although it took awhile I finally eat more or less normally. Also I know it is not practial to eliminate the junk food in your house but how about limiting it....maybe not having so many different tempting things in the house....just my two cents anyway :)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('4762','Cara'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('4762','Cara','Congratulations on getting back on the wagon.....you have to start somewhere.
