Need a Better Plan

I can see why Weight Watchers works--the accountability. And Jenny Craig provides prepackaged meals that take little thinking or planning. But what for those of us who don't have the time or money to go that route? I've got my ups and downs and plenty of good intentions, but I'm not getting anywhere with losing weight.

My motivation has fizzled and I'd rather eat what I want, but then I'm disgusted that I'm still overweight! I kind of feel like I'm on a hamster wheel doing the same old thing. Lose some weight, gain some weight, lose some weight...

The key is to learn to make healthy choices and exercise. I don't do either successfully for long. So I'm thinking about what's next because what I'm doing isn't working.
