Had to ask the nurse again, but when she told me my weight I had hit my goal. Very hard to comprehend. I lost 175 lbs. in 18 months with close physician supervision.

Thank you MFP peeps from the bottom of my heart. I read every day. CICO in the real world is basically my eating plan forever. Fresh whole foods, limited sauces or gravies, as a basic plan. Let Life Happen with friends or meals out. Move. That’s it! And in the spirit of the summer: GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLL!

    Weight loss is never about believing in diet plans or working out. It is only about believing in yourself.
    It looks like you've mastered it!

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!

    My husband said “chocolate” but we talked about food not bring a reward. So, because this man has a sense of humor, picking out a “chocolate” diamond ring is on the horizon. That is now MY kind of chocolate reward!
