I've lost 43 lbs, this is what I've done and my opinions.

Congrats to you, it sounds like you have done an amazing job. Also kudos to you for doing it in a realistic way that still works with life! I agree with just about all of your points!!

Hi!
Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. As i read your pointers, i highlighted the things that I am already doing. I am going to work on the things you have listed that I am not doing yet, for example I don't drink enough water, so that is something that I need to take into consideration.

When it comes to dieting, I am a perfectionist, just like yourself. Whenever I have messed up, I would just give up completely. What you said about it is very inspiring. So, I will always look back to your post when ever I messed up as an inspiration to not give up.

Again,

Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us!
