    another P.S. We got my sister to watch Korean dramas while on the treadmill and she has lost 40+lbs. She doesn't track on MFP but has tightened up her diet a bit.

    Love your story so very much! Thanks for sharing :) I am a bit of a turtle too and things have sloooowwwwwed considerably for me but at this point I'm ok with that. The thing I like best about you and I are that we learned to eat the proper way, same foods as always just a proper portion of them and just probably less processed foods. Congrats to you. You look super awesome!

    • Embrace housework! It is a productive distraction.

    Great advice! Seems so simple, but I know it will be impactful because I won't be eating and my house will be cleaner! Win-Win!

    Great post. Thank you so much for sharing your story. My weight loss is ridiculously slow, so nice to hear I am not the only one.

    Great job and attitude! My starting weight and height is nearly identical to yours. So far I've lost almost 37 lbs, though I can relate to the turtle pace as of late. You gave good practical advice and you look great!

    Congratulations on your loss! If you liked Coffee Prince you should check out Secret Garden if you haven't already. Also my favorite Korean movie Castaway on the Moon :smile:

    My "have watched dramas" list now numbers 70 (a few being movies). I haven't seen Secret Garden yet, though my sister has seen it. Castaway on the Moon looks fun, it will move to the top of the "to be watched" list, though movies feel like a short story after watching dramas.
    DH and I are watching Producers now - LOL :)
