    Isn't it awesome? No, really! It's truly awesome, right?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! You didn't HAVE TO cut out food groups or go without the things you love just to lose weight. You simply ate less than you burn and voila`! I wish more people would get on with this, it would make the weight loss process alot less stressful!

    Happy Birthday and Great Job!

    Well said! I've always liked your no-nonsense attitude. :)

    I'm sure we'd all like the Magic Pill that would allow us to reach our ideal weight quickly and painlessly (I know I would!), but since it doesn't exist then we all need to find a way that works for us and our individual needs and wants. What works for me is pretty much the same as you - I eat the things I like but less of them, and I've cut out or limited a few things that I still like but just aren't worth it most of the time. I do take regular breaks to eat at maintenance calories, because I've found that to really help me, but no "cheating" (such negative connotations to that word!). If I want something that will put me over my goal, I make a conscious decision whether or not to eat it and then I enjoy it without guilt. My way works for me, and it's slow but painless! :) (Still averaging around 1lb per week overall though.) It might not work for others, and that's fine - we all need to find our own way.

    Motivation can get us started on the journey, but it won't be with us every day. Determination is what we need, and you have plenty of that my dear! :) I have no doubt you'll get to your goal and then carry on living your life in the new healthy way you've developed. And I hope you'll stick around here afterwards and keep nudging the rest of us along the same path. :)

    Congratulations!

    You're amazing, this is the mindset I've adopted, and I'm never looking back. Diets don't work, fads fade away and excuses are just the reasons I became fat in the first place. I'm 22lbs down and it's all because of CICO. It's my new day to day everyday, and it works because it's simple...it's math...it just is what it is!
    Congratulations to you on this massive achievement. #Inspiration
