    A few years ago you did this... It wouldn't be sustainable for me. Make permanent changes for permanent results!

    Eat to live is a wonderful permanent change for permanent results. You go for it. There are other message boards where you can find support from people who have been doing the same.

    Eat healthy and the weight will come off at the same time.

    All the best on your journey!
