I eat so I can run (better)...seems to be a good and healthy mindset, so
long as it's not taken to extremes

Be careful if you're doing a lot of running, though. I find that when
my mileage is up, their suggested points range simply isn't enough. I
felt too week on the daily requirements. They have a way you can
calculate the extra points earned from exercise, and be smart and use
them, if you feel you have to.
Good luck!
Any program you *stick to* will work. The idea of paying a fee and going to
weekly meetings is rather unappealing to me personally, but I understand some
people like the "social" aspect of it. (My ex-SIL lost 50+ # there, but has
since gained/lost it a couple times.)
I lost 45 pounds in ~6 months almost 3 years ago by starting a 3+ mile/day
walking program and cutting out the ***(fast food, mayonnaise, butter, and
cheese) - then started running 2 years ago. Yes it takes (some) discipline not
to pig out at the office potluck or to fix a good dinner instead of going to
the "drive-thru" but it's worth it.

Like your ex-SIL (what is a SIL?) they had all blown back up or seemed
trapped in a constant cycle of bingeing and dieting. The programme followed
about ten champions I believe and the *only* one who hadn't rebounded like
all the others was the only one who had incorporated regular exercise into
her lifestyle.

Write in a journal everything you eat for the 1st month, write points
on packaging, check points at the store when shopping, plan and eat
more smaller meals, do some low point recipes and you are well on your
way. Throw in a little exercise and you are all set.

They taught her how to diet but not how to maintain the weight loss - which
even in my own experience is more difficult.
Nick<<Getting the points on fast food is helpful as well. It is not necessary
to cut out fast food all together to lose weight, rather moderation and smart
choices at the drive-thru can minimize the fast
food effect.>>
I've come to the conclusion I would be kidding myself if I ever got back to the
point of saying, "Well, okay, I *can* have onion rings a couple of times a
week" - it's an awful slippery slope, for me anyway, and I've worked too hard
to willingly fall back into that trap. Better to write off the drive-thru
experience entirely; there's precious little of any nutritional value available
there anyway.
(I read something in the paper today that said 4 out of 5 "restaurant meals"
are eaten in the car - is it any wonder America is getting so fat??)
