31 pounds!

Having never successfully lost weight, I want to scream it from the rooftops that I've officially lost 31 pounds!!! I'm one of those classic "1200 calorie diet that lasts 2 weeks, binge, give up, gain more than I lost" dieters. It just DOESNT work, people, take it from me! Losing 31 pounds now, I'm just 12 pounds from being the lowest weight I've been in 4+ years! I've failed that many times.
This time around, I researched, I learned as much as I could from the forums, from the success stories. I learned you can eat what you want, you don't have to starve, you don't have to kill yourself in the gym to lose weight. Just eat at a deficit. It's truly that simple; I can't believe I never got it until now.
I can't wait to post my entire story in this forum. I'm not there yet, and it'll be awhile before I am, and I'm okay with that, finally. But I AM a success right now. 31 pounds down, and going. Bring on 2017!
