Who is in maintenance?

It's the only way.

and maintaining a caloric balance is a sure way to maintain the
loss.

Over time.

Following specific diets that don't count calories are only hiding
the calorie counting from the dieter. Nothing wrong with that, if it works.

Nothing hidden just not necessary with the Two Pound Diet.

Dear
I ran into your message quite accidentally while researching about
some details on 'Exercise' and thought of sharing some of my
findings.
I've read at 'http://www.medical-health-care-information.com/Health-
living/exercise/index.asp'
that Swimming, cycling, jogging, skiing, aerobic dancing, walking or
any of dozens of other activities can help your heart. Whether it's
included in a structured exercise program or just part of your daily
routine, all physical activity adds up to a healthier heart.
I hope the above is of some help to you as well. Regards, Sherrybove

Seems you're running into a lot of messages "quite accidentally"...

What's your point (besides spamming several newsgroups)?

Indeed. Yes. Most diets try to trick people into reduced calories without
saying the word calorie.

Given the high failure rate, maybe there is something wrong with that.

I have felt that the "Deal A Meal" product and the Weight Watchers' point
system epitomized this.

Thanks -- it was a difficult day. Mother's Day is affecting me as
well. We're about to head up to PA to spend it with my MIL, which
will be okay but kind of sad too.

I think I understand what you mean... I'm lucky to still have both my
parents, but everybody (family, friends, relative) are all the way accross
the continent.. my birthday is thursday and I'm not looking forward to
celebrating without any of them..

And yet, they're still around, I imagine it must be hard for you so close to
the time you lost her...

*hugs again*

Thanks. It's actually been a sad day in some ways, as I find I am
missing my mother more than usual. I don't feel I have much family
left. (I do have a brother, who's a good guy and who called to wish
me happy birthday, but it's not the same anymore.) But friends help
:-).
