    I originally planned to reach my goal in one year but it looks like it is going to take me a year and a half with a rate of loss of 1lb/week average throughout the entire journey. I've come to terms with this, I've learned healthy eating habits along the way I plan on using to maintain my loss.I also plan on logging my food into maintenance as well. 75 lbs in a year and a half isn't too bad!

    Thats why im succeeding in my journey this time around to lose weight and become healthier because i stopped thinking in diet terms and started to realize i wanted a lifestyle change and this is the longest i ever worked out and stayed on track. I have some bad days but since it's for a lifetime i dont worry about it.

    I'm in year four of monitoring what I eat and faithfully exercising with no plans on stopping any time soon.

    I've struggled with weight issues since I was a pre-teen and I'm now 56. I never could find the right combination of timing, knowledge, resources, and tools to effect lasting change that gelled well with my particular personality/quirks until now.
