The key to weight loss is not to quit! It's not all-or-nothing. It's not a perfect slide down. It's about making changes you can lie with, and creating habits and routines that satisfy, and still promote weight loss. If I can do it ANYONE can.

WOW! This is SOOOO great! I totally agree with you. I am 44+ lbs down today but was over 50 back in March...(with still about 30 more to lose) & I feel like it is a forever goal. I have become OK with that. I have made some really great changes to my lifestyle & I keep on doing so. Like you said, it's a straight "slide down the scale" AT ALL. I keep experimenting with my diet until I stumble across the path that not only works but is also livable. Some weeks are better than others but I will get there no matter how long it takes. AGAIN wonderful job...so inspiring!! You must feel wonderful because you sure do look great!!2

Fabulous, fabulous you! Love it!
Hee-hee! Have you had anyone say something like this to you yet? "What would you know about being overweight? -- Skinny little you!" You will!0 -
Awesome work! Well done you!!0

Kettelbelle, I think it's different for everyone. For me, I thought long and hard when I started this time about why I'd failed sexeral times before. I thought deeply about WHY I'd failed, and what I needed this time. I didn't rely on motivation. That comes and goes. I ate things I liked, and made big changes slooooowly. I still eat a lot on social occasions, but most of the time I eat to my plan. Mostly I tried to really internalize that this is truly for life. That's easy to SAY but very hard to LIVE. I'm still working on that.11

Thanks so much for replying, Nancy. I think that's the couple of pieces I have been missing...the real reason why I keep slipping up and making the overall switch for life. Thanks again!1

First, you look great, you should be so proud. Second, I agree 100%, it's possible. I'm also 52 and down 107 at the moment. I still have a few more to go. It's been slow and definitely not linear, but it's down and staying down.5

This is what I needed to see today. I am down 19 and have 64 more to go (I'm 56). I have wrecked my metabolism from years of bad food, bad diets and trying to side step the exercise - now I am in it for the long haul, logging every morsel, exercising 5 days a week and eating more fruit and veg in the last 2 months than I have in the last 2 years, I'm sure. At some point I've realized this isn't temporary anymore - this is what I have to do for the rest of my life. Your photos are inspiring, it's good to see someone over 50 who has succeeded - so thank you
