About Food
"I've learned that you can eat everything—but just not in one day. The best weight-loss advice I ever heard was 'one bite tastes like the rest.' For my son's graduation, he wanted me to taste the cake so I took one forkful. He said, 'That's all you're going to have?' and I said, 'Now I know what it tastes like. I don't need any more.' It has to be looked at one bite at a time, one portion at a time, one day at a time."
Susan, 43, New York, receptionist
About Exercise
"Now I think of exercise as if it's a relationship—you have to keep it alive, varied, and vibrant, or it will stagnate. I cross-train, which keeps me from getting bored and tones different muscles."
Nazalee, 37, Ohio, fund-raiser
About Maintaining Weight Loss
"I'm now in the maintenance phase of my weight loss and will always track my POINTSŪ values because that's how I maintain my weight. The sooner you see that you're losing control, the sooner you can pull yourself together."
Sarah, Duchess of York, author, philanthropist
