    This is excellent Tam;) I first joined way back, about the time you did but you were losing like crazy then. I know this works and I would really like to post your story on my FB but will write you a personal note to ask, Denise Evans

    Hi guys! Going to try and be more active on here again. I didn't have a laptop at home for the past year! Was doing everything via my Galaxy! lol!

    I have logged exercise of course. :)

    I just realized..it's been over 5 years since I started my "lifestyle change" and started the weight-loss process that would end up being 135 lbs down in 16 months. This January will be 4 years since I met my goal weight. I went through a pregnancy and a nasty divorce after that. And I'm still going strong. Keep it going!!

    A recent photo of my lovees and moi!! :)

    Just read your post about 4 years of successful maintenance, and loved :heart: your quote

    "If you focus on results you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results."

    Then I made my way to this thread. Brilliant - simple advice, simple truths. Thanks for sharing your story! :flowerforyou:

    For me, the hardest thing was to realise that I have to eat enough - I lost a lot of weight quickly eating well, didn't starve myself as I have done in the past. :smile:
