Hi, my motivation has mostly come from my family. I decided at 174 lbs., 5'2" and the age of 52 that I needed to lose weight to stay healthy (mother and sister have diabetes with no history in our family). Last november I decided to start a program 'solutions for life' and it worked for me to get my habits changed. I spent two months prior to starting the program talking to all my family and co-workers. They have all supported me, we seldom go out to eat and I have been able to change my habits. Don't get me wrong, I would love a pizza, but I eat alot of frozen dinners, protein bars and fruits and veg's (smart ones, lean cuisine, etc.) my favorite is using a protein shake with fruit in it. I keep my calories under 1200. I have lost 36 lbs. since January without exercise (I have a bad foot). I plan to start exercising and getting surgery on my foot so I can up the calories and enjoy more food. I have not been hungry 90% of the time. I started using this tool in May and no longer am in the solutions for life. I have been able to keep up my habits on my own. I am trying to get down 10 more lbs. I have averaged 6 lbs. per month. When we have family get togethers I bring my own food and when we go out to eat I eat before we go and have a vegetable or side salad.
