What do you think??
Good news that they all can help I think!  And that if you stick to one, you'll lose about 10-12 lbs in a year.
So if you're not into one, another just might be what fits your needs. :)

Happy Thanksgiving

**Golly, I think that almost every "fad" diet whether it has some or little credibility does work in the short term, and as a "kick start" kind of thing is not a bad idea but there is no subsitute for a healthy eating and exercise plan and I read recently that a huge percentage of those who participated in those diet trials didn't last the full year. A lifestyle change is the ONLY thing that works long term resulting in all the "good" things that go with that. Hilary

**I agree Hil and also with your it being a way to kickstart that weight loss! :)

It said also farther down in the article:

"After two months, 22 percent of the dieters had given up. After a year, 35 percent dropped out of Weight Watchers and the Zone diets and 50 percent had quit the Atkins and Ornish plans."

I know of several friends who did make

that lifetime change on WW

**Agree Golly, I have heard of so many successes using WW. Have never tried it for myself "too stingy" to pay, and well, weighing in *here* is a little different .

Strange world when half of us are starving and the other half battling life's indulgences! Hilary
