Peter 1.3 Pounds Lost This Week: 
Life's about choices and ease of technology... Glad you received the iTouch and are tracking your food on the go. You will see the ease and understanding of your food choices (good or bad).

Glad your exercise routine has increased and you’re spending a little more time at the gym and circuit training. I think you'll find the iTouch a real helping hand as well as continued exercise will help achieve your diet/fitness goals. 
Keep up the good work!

Kim: .2 Pounds Lost This Week: 
It's been a touch past 6 weeks since you've been training with me and you've lost over 10 Lbs in that time... Nice job! Glad you've embraced the importance of circuit training as part of your ritual when dieting. In addition, so glad you're keeping up with the WW meetings and mixing up the times and days to get a different perspective on others with their weight/diet issues.

While your motivation for weight loss and exercise is unique (getting married in 4 weeks) to the others in the DFO2 group, it still holds strong to the ideals of food choices, portion control and exercise.

Keep up the great work and look forward to more training, blogs and weight loss.

Ruth: 1.6 Pounds Lost This Week:
High fives to both you and John for your focus and commitment while at the river. It's amazing how just a little understanding of food choices can mean the difference in 100s of calories a day and serious pounds per year.

Glad to read you are still making the weekly meetings at WW and it's always a good idea to mix up the meetings and get a fresh perspective on others and their struggles and successes.

Exercise is a crucial combination to any weight loss/diet routine... While it's easy to skip a few work-out days it doesn’t feel half as good as hearing from friends, family and total strangers how great you look.
 
John: 2 Pounds Lost This Week:
Keep the faith and focus and that cheeseburger will taste soooo good upon finishing DFO2. Glad to read that you and Ruth kept to the plan while at the river. It's not easy staying focused and committed especially when you don't have a support group around you... Good thing for Ruth! As mentioned to other members, DFO2 is a "challenge" but I want it to be viewed as a way of life. 

Life's about choices and when the right choices are made (dump the cheeseburger, 2 slices of pizza NOT 5 or a few low cal beers instead of the lagers) with respect to food and exercise, your body and health benefit.

Keep the great work and blogs coming. 

Susan: 2.2 Pounds Lost This Week:
Love your enthusiasm on your posts and keep up the great work. Nice to see you can still "live" a little while dieting (WW Ice Cream :). My goal for DFO2 is to get all of you to understand how important food choices, portion control and exercise are to our daily choices. That's why soooo many fad diets fail and once one goes off the diet the weight comes back and more.

Continued success and if you need anything please ask.

Brad: 3.2 Pounds Lost This Week:
Love your last posting and appreciate at the honesty and candor. I'm guessing your work-outs have slowed or came to a halt due to routine or lack of change up? If so, try switching up your exercise each day so monotony doesn't set in. If you need ideas let me know.

Have a great weekend in DC and say hello to Pres. Obama. 


After reviewing the Weight Watchers Team progress for Week 2, this is my suggestion moving forward.I highly recommend subscribing to the philosophy of the WW Momentum program which encourages high fiber and low fat food choices along with a minimum of 30 minutes a day of exercise: walking, running, swimming,  weight training, bicycling etc.
