Thank you so much everyone! I feel great... I feel better than I have in ages, and I can actually keep up with my kids! It feels so good to feel good!
As far as my 'secrets' I can honestly say I have none, and that's why I think this worked so well for me! I'm not 'dieting' - I'm just watching what I eat, CAREFULLY! Everything I eat I log here! I haven't missed a day since I committed to losing this weight. Sure, there are days that I go over, but even so, I log it all.
When I first joined and posted a tentative welcome message, someone replied saying, "It's just math." And that stuck with me. I eat less, I move more, and it works, it really, really works!
I think everyone needs to find some form of exercise that they love, and for me, that's running. I'm a recent C25K 'graduate'. Before starting the program I couldn't run for a minute, and now I run 5k three times a week! I love it, it's freeing for my mind, body, and soul - but that's me! For each of you, it may be something different.
Anyway - all that to say that there is no secret, really! Just eat less, and move more!
Thanks again everyone!!!0 -
Lori, I've said it before and I'll say it again: you are a total inspiration woman! Like someone said already, you look completely at ease in your running stuff - ready for anything!! I have watched you from the beginning just doing the right things in the right way - eating proper portions of good stuff, treating yourself occasionally, and just moving! You are the poster woman for perseverence and dedication. I am proud to be your sister!0

Ohmygoodness, you should be SO immensely proud of yourself!!! I don't have to tell you how difficult is it, because you've done it! So amazing! I hope and pray I can have as much self-discipline and determination as you. I'm only looking to lose 25 lbs., but I sometimes feel like it won't ever happen. Your post reminds me that it's possible for all of us! Thanks for inspiring me! :happy: Congratulations and tally ho!0

Lori, you look so great! You're the reason why I'm here. I love MFP! your advice is what has worked for me. Don't go over on calories. I mean, I've gone over a few times, but overall I make sure my calories don't go over, and I lose weight. The weight coming off is more motivation than anything else!
Congrats on the weight loss and good luck on the last 20 0 -
