Oops...can't do the pm thing. Haven't been a member long enough.

But I'd love to buddy up with you.

I am doing the Richard Simmons food mover. Basically, it's counting calories, but using the food pyramid. I'm on 1200 cals a day, and I have exchanges of starch, protein, veg, fruit, fat, dairy, and "extra" that I am allowed each day.
It is a lot like Weight Watchers because I'm allowed anything I want - as long as I stay within my exchanges. Just like WW gives you so many points and you can have a candy bar - and almost nothing else! - all day, I must close the fat/carb windows for that candy bar.
Programs like WW and this work because they teach you to live differently. To make choices with your food, and change your lifestyle and how you look at food...I'm excited to be really starting out again.

So, do you exercise? That's my big problem...
