The other day I got into a conversation at work about dieting while waiting for a meeting to start. A manager at the table looked over and said to me:"You don't need to diet." I decided it was best not to tell her that this is what a successful diet looked like!

So many people fiddle with losing weight or make a big thing of telling others what they ought or ought not to do while doing nothing about their own weight that it's a real pleasure to be in the position of having achieved where others only talk the talk!

And a real pleasure in being in a community like this where everyone is really achieving something special!

    I'm not where you are yet, but I know I will be...
    And I applaud you!

    We aren't dieting, we are changing our way of life... people don't get it!

    AMEN! I get so tired of hearing that too. I have been doing this ''diet'' for 5 years. Within the past year I finally found out most of the things that works for me the best, I am now down 50 + pounds!

    I still talk abut dieting and losing weight because it's a Life style change. I don't think people realize at first glace that you never go off a life style change like you would a diet. ..So you are going to carry your progress with you.

    And Hey! You walked the walk, you have more than enough room to talk the talk! Congrats on your achievements!
