That has worked for me. I use Wii Fit every day including weight and BMI measurements. I lost 20 lbs. to get down to my high school weight (low end of my recommended weight range) and have kept the pounds off for a year now. I walk or cycle 1 and a half miles round trip to work. A piece of fruit serves as lunch. I avoid night snacking by drinking water.

Anyone remember a recent story on "60 Minutes" linking hunger to longevity? Something in our body chemistry is said to promote non-aging when we feel hungry. I know, some will say life it too short to live in a constant state of food denial and what's the point of living longer if you can't enjoy yourself at the dinner table. For some, there is more to life than food and the payoff of improved self image can reap huge personal rewards. I enjoy a high calorie meal occasionally, but I have found it to be all too easy to rack up the pounds at 50-plus if I'm not careful so I do weigh myself every day.
