Hello everyone!
I am so glad to have found this site. I was searching for info on Sunflower seeds and found this site.
I have lost 171 pounds and kept it off now for 3 years. I am working to maintain my weight. Easier said then done lol. I have put on about 4 pounds, now I need to take it off….again. When ever I go away on vacation I gain about 5 pounds then have to lose it again. That is what I am doing now.
I love the food diary here it helps so much to keep one. I have kept a food diary from the very first day I started my diet. I have piles of note books that I used to keep my food diary’s in. I will always keep one. That is the only way I can keep up with what I have eaten. I will still keep the one on paper but the one here tells me EVERYTHING I need to know about what I have eaten. It is AWESOME!
Anyway I just wanted to stop by and say Hi!
Have A Great Day!
Loretta

    WOW, you are an inspiration to us all! I agree that the food diary is a fabulous tool. Welcome to you, best of luck, and I hope to learn from you. Your weight loss (and ability to sustain it for 3 years) is phenomenal! Welcome!

    Hi Loretta Jo,
    Wow, 171 pounds, that's fantastic. And even more fantastic is that you kept it off for 3 years. What a good reason to keep logging food in even after we get to our goal weight. You are truly an inspiration to us. Welcome and I hope to learn from you.
