I started Weight Watchers about a month and a half ago, and thus far, with exercise and eating, I’ve lost 10 lbs. I am so excited and 1/3 of the way there! Plus the exercising may have made the actual pounds dropped less, but I feel more toned already and am hoping that will only help me lose more.

How I did it: A lot of it had to do with eliminating negative people from my life. If you're around gossipy people, it's hard to get out of the habit. If you find new activities and people, it will make your life a lot easier than being stuck with the same people in the same situations. And involve those friends too, then you'll all have experiences to talk about instead of each other. Read how I did it…
I have heard the wooden spoon thing too, but I’m using plastic and bought a separate non-cooking one to practice with. Apparently once you can get the spoon then the best way to practice is with a wire hanger folded in half.
How you make the transition from that to an actual sword I’m not sure.
The one I’m with is pretty amazing, and I do seduce him, but I think that’s cheating to say I’ve done it, so I’m going to politely recede this goal.
