3 months as of today. I joined this site on December 31, 2008, weighing in at 292 pounds, the most I have ever weighed in my whole life, and way too much for someone who is 5'1 1/2". I didn't officially start logging my food or exercising or watching what I eat until January 1, 2009, so as of today I have been on this lifestyle change for 3 months and I am so proud of myself and just had to toot my own horn. I have tried diets and other stuff but only stayed on them for no more than 3 weeks, so this is not a diet, diets don't work. This site works, and I am glad that a friend told me about it. I now weigh 259.2, I don't remember the last time I have seen that number. :flowerforyou:
