as long as you dont' listen to their new rule about "eat as much fruit and vegetables as you like" weight watchers will work for you.

since you can't increase your calorie burn throughout the day with exercise, you have to keep strict with your calorie count throughout the day. Seeing that you are 5'5, you should probably start at a maximum, of around 1500 calories per day. Although seeing as you are a truck driver and don't get moving much, you might just have to keep your calories even lower per day to start losing weight.

be sure to keep things like celery, apples, carrots, around you for your trip to avoid higher calorie foods.

I know it sounds like that's not a lot of cals to eat in the day, but you'll find that as you are losing weight your body will adjust to your new calorie level since obviously the amount you are currently eating now isn't helping your situation.

you sound really determined so I'm sure you will reach your goal, just stay with it and try not to be deterred with all the nonsense in the fitness magazines. Calories matter.

anyways, hope that helps.

happy driving!
