Candice, WAY TO GO!! 3# is a fabulous start. The hardest thing for me when I lost my weight was the in-between times when I was watching things pretty closely and didn't lose a # for days at a time. That's the kind of thing that gets people discouraged 'cause they think it's not working. It can't fail to work if you keep at it and, like you said, start moving more.<br></br>

Weight Watchers is a fabulous program. (I don't work for them either). I went there a long time ago, and I have a lot of friends who have/are going. You're absolutely right--it IS about portion control. And the portions ARE small compared to what we expect in this "eat more for less" culture. But if you're like me, realizing how little it actually takes to satisfy you is quite a wake-up call.<br/>

I'm happy to tell you that getting my weight back into normal range, and keeping it off, has made a tremendous difference with my OSA. I'm humbled by how much better I feel--makes me realize what I was doing to my body, hauling extra weight around.<br/>

Keep up the good work. Hey, one thing I've done periodically, if you're using public displays to keep yourself honest with other people, I've had really good luck with a graph. It shows a steady decline if you're sticking with it, and I'm here to tell you it's a great motivator seeing it on paper that way. (It works even if you keep it behind your closet door)!! Made me proud and motivated me to see it going down again in a week. (Don't try to chart it daily--weekly works best, at least that's what was best for me). Worth a try IF you like that kind of thing.<br/>
