Did it via Weight Watchers (both my wife and I joined)....am 6 feet, BMI says I need to get to 184, but I am pretty big framed....

my plans are to try to hold at 208 ish through the winter through the holiday meal hazards - I am an avid gardener and that is worth quite a few pounds - so starting say in Feb, hope to cut some more. 190 would be great - 184 kind of unbelievable!

I seem to be at a dreaded plateau - eating around 35-40 points (WW terms) per day, but still holding at 208 - taking 1-3 mile dog walks each day. Not sure what will knock me off the plateau!

Still - size 36 jeans is a hell of a lot better than the 42s I was starting to have to squeeze into!
