Well, I did it. 50 lbs off!! Took me 5 1/2 months. It was easier than thought in some ways but alot harder in some ways too.
Things I learned
- Dont eat anything you dont like because its supposed to be healthy.... just made me want to quit
- Do try foods you didnt think you liked by cooking them a different way -- ex: brussel sprouts... roasted... amazing
- Dont worry about the scale, its just another tool
- Yes, you can make it thru holidays and family gatherings without doing too much damage
- Since i stopped eating sugar, everything is too sweet.... its a good thing!
-Funny, but once you get into exercise it can actually be fun !
-Every morning I say to myself " You can do this!" it really seems to help.
I still have 58 lbs to go, but "I can do this!"

Good job, and keep it up! How did you do it? Is it safe to lose that much? What does 50 lbs convert to in sizes lost? I so badly want to fit into size 12 clothes (Currently an 18) and don't know if I will be able to do it.0
