I weigh myself everyday and although I have essentially stayed within the WW points - the scale does not really move that much. It is time to take this dieting thing to the next level - I need to do some on-line research in order to make some changes that "rev-up" the metabolism. I would cut back on the points or the carbs a little but I think that may even lower my metabolism. It's a slippery slope. I will keep up the counting anyway and see if I can add some other elements to the plan to juice it up. I will let you know what I learn.

Food for Thought - Day Three
I started this blog 3 days ago - and I realize now that I have become obsessed by it. I wish I was as obsessed with my diet. I had planned to go to the gym on Wednesday - but instead I spent the evening researching online at my desk.
I ate way too much again on day three and I went over my points balance by 10. I am tracking points diligently (even though I go over). I think that this is prudent - at least when I fail to lose a single pound I will completely understand why.
I am in my 40's now and losing weight have become almost impossible. It was never easy - but if I focused and dieted 3 or 4 days of the week I would be able to lose one or two pounds in that week. I think my metabolism has hit rock bottom.
Regular exercise will probably be the key to my success. The problem is that my extra weight has put pressure on my joints (hip, knees and ankles). In the summer heat - a simple walk can be painful and somewhat dangerous. How do I overcome this? If I can't exercise, I won't be able to lose the weight? I will walk home from work tonight. I guess that is a start.
I have read other diet blogs and many have said that this blogging helps to improve dieting success. Is this true? Time to get off my butt.
