Keep at it. I lost 20 pounds with Weight Watchers and highly recommend it. You don't have to eliminate the foods you like you just have to make good choices and eat proper amounts. I had a total hip replacement one year ago. You will get there! And you will feel better and more energetic when you are done. Good luck!!
