Hello I am Liz I have been on MFP for 2 long years. I have battled with loss and gain for the past two years. My recent gain was everything plus some. I quit smoking in January and had gained everything I had lost. I recently started the program again but tweaked my eating habits, and from both quiting smoking and cutting my sugar after two years of trying, I finally seen results. I never thought 20lbs was much , but I have seen the difference which now has given me the motivation and boost to keep going and finally reach my goal this time! I'm very happy with my small loss, 2 shirt sizes down and a pant size. I'm defiantly holding on strong and working hard this time to loose the rest. I was at 100lbs to loss goal and now at 70lbs to loose, it just doesn't seem so impossible now and totally 100% dedicated.

Thanks for reading, sorry I have very poor grammar. This is a before in April and recent picture.

    Thank you so much ladies, that's why I love this site. It's people like you who help me push further and give me the motivation to keep going. I have worked so hard, I am defiantly repeated. No more cheat days, because then they end up in off track weeks. So I am sticking to what I feel has been working, and hopefully by the holidays, I can have some yummy holiday food ;)

    Wow you look great for losing 20 pounds- I have lost 13 and I have noticed but no one else has yet, maybe 20 pounds is the magic number!

    I lost a lot of belly fat, and inches. I'm not sure why the weight loss isn't more but I'll take it. :)

    This is true, I quit smoking over 10 years ago, put them done and never cheated again. But it just goes to show, that Food IS a strong addiction!!
    Hardest habit to break!!

    Good job!
