    Welcome aboard and good luck! :drinker:
    It is a lifestyle change so fortunately it seems to get easier the longer you do it.
    And yes, it DOES work! :flowerforyou:

    Thank you! I appreciate the support! I didn't realize this site was also about the support of others. I joined with my best friend and tried getting a few other friends on board... I guess it puts on a little pressure knowing others are looking at your set backs and progress!!

    Then we are in the same boat. I'm also trying to get rid of the last 15-20. It does feel great to be in the healthy weight zone at last though. Now I'm just trying to get closer to the middle of it. It is important not to lose sight of your accomplishments and only focus on what you haven't reached yet! 70 lbs down is awesome! :drinker:

    Thank you so much!! My nutritionalist told me it will not be easy to take off this weight, but this is when we have to push it to the extreme. I was told to lower my calorie intake to 1200 - 1300 cal. a day, but never any lower than that...and exercise everyday for AT LEAST a half hour.

    ....For someone who used to enjoy food so much.... ***correction*** for someone who STILL enjoys food very much! (LOL) , that has been the hard part! Especially when everyone around you eats whatever they want!! My will power SUCKS!!
