I had a small goal to lose 10 pounds, and I have done it! Well, I'm 0.6 lbs away from it, but I'm celebrating NOW!!! lol It was so terrible the first two months, I wasn't losing ANY weight. I was hovering around 160 for two months, despite all my physical effort. I didn't know why, then I took a look at all the fundamentals of my diet. I wasn't taking in too much calories or sodium most days, but I was taking in too much sugar and too many carbs through bread(6 slices of bread a day). I took down my intake of carbs and cut out fatty milk from my diet and switched to unsweetened almond milk and getting dairy through nonfat yogurt and cheese. The weight FLEW off! lol I'm so happy now! Happy holidays, everyone!!!!!!

    Congratulations! And how right you are about sugars and bread. The bread I eat is sprouted grain bread, 99% organic ingredients. Well done on your goal and I love the signature, it's from the thread you made last week right?
