Carrie Fisher is the latest celeb to credit Jenny Craig for her weight loss.
Despite my own bad experiences on the programme some 20 years ago, I have to say it looks and sounds like it's done her a world of good. In just 18 weeks she's slimmed her 5'1" frame from 180lbs to 150lbs... and that's just a start.
It's no wonder why. She revealed: "I used to feel like I had to apologize for the way I looked whenever I stepped out of the house...I spent so much energy coming up with reasons why I was overweight.
"Now, whenever someone compliments me, I smile and say, ‘well, thank you.' It's a great feeling to feel like myself again, and that I am truly worthy of those compliments.
"I no longer want to hide in the house," she adds.
I've had a taste of that freedom in the past and it's one that should be savoured, cherished and - most importantly - protected.
But, it's easy to take these feelings for granted and allow temptations to get in the way of weeks, months and years of hard work.
It's still early days for me, but I think it's worth thinking about. My first milestone, I'm sure, will bring with it the first wave of freedom - and it's only 19lbs away.
On the 344 pounds blog there are lots of great ideas to inspire and sustain weight loss (and maintenance!) momentum. His is a truly inspiring story and he's done it without fads or gimmicks. I've only started looking through the entries, but I like the idea of regularly posting pre-weight loss pics and reminding yourself of the real benefits of losing weight.
