@DDHFree thanks! Thank you for this challenge! I do so much better when working together with others towards the same goals! Thanks for the motivation and support!
Usually when people insert emojis not from the site it will erase posts! Maybe that happened! I have had a lot of trouble with this app lately.0 -

Overall Assessment
Well, I could have done much better had I found the nutrition plan that I am now eating much sooner. This has been a great challenge as I am now wearing many of my old clothes. I have gone from a size 8 to 10 to size 4 to 6. I have about 10 more pounds remaining. Surprisingly, I don’t feel impatient about those 10 lbs. I am so focused on making my nutrition plan a permanent lifestyle change. In my mind, it’s already permanent but I know the key for me is having enough dishes that COMPLETELY satisfy all of my needs for food.
I will be leaving this board since I no longer feel a need to log or weigh my foods, or count calories. I am not overly confident but instead found a plan that TRULY works for me. I am still losing weight. I don’t have to exercise for weight loss but instead exercise for overall wellness. I was already eating most of these foods but was missing a very ESSENTIAL piece of the puzzle that is no longer a mystery to me. I have learned so very much from you all and have enjoyed this forum, but I have to face it that I am a loner in terms of my diet on this forum.
I think it’s time I try to connect with those who share my passion for nutrition. I’m sure I will still pop in from time to time because you ladies ROCK with fitness and I don’t think I will find that on the other side. 
Thank you all very much and especially to MARY. You have been so very helpful to me since starting this journey last year. You are a true inspiration of what’s possible in life. I wish you and all the other ladies the BEST.
