Hello!

I've lost 70 pounds over the last 15 years and have kept it off through exercise and eating fairly healthy. I'm ready to lose the remaining 10 - 15 pounds and now is the time!!! Discipline and a good realization that I can't eat as I used to when I was more overweight is a constant reminder. Who's with me?

Here I go!!!

    Great job keeping the weight off. I'm on my last 12 pounds, which seem to be the hardest.

    I still haven't found a way around a lot of hard work, watching my food intake and not making excuses to eat too much. Additionally, I had to get over myself a bit and quit feeling like this was unfair that others could eat burger and fries and be thin. I drastically changed my foods from high fat and low nutrition to more balanced nutrition. It's been so long now that I'd much rather have a salad than a burger. However, it is important to remember to enjoy life and not get to stringent about food. Allowing a splurge once in a while is not a life-wrecking thing. We are human and need a break if we get off track occasionally.
