Just wanted to say that with dedication we can do it....I have been using this website and have dedicated myself to exercise and diet changes and I have seen miracles!!
I have now officially lost 75 lbs, knocked over 100 pts off my cholesterol and I feel GREAT!!!
KEEP FIGHTING, IT IS WORTH ALL THE HARD WORK IN THE END....
Everyone asks me for my secret, how did I do it...well, I know that using this site has helped me a great deal, journaling all my food as well as my exercise, puts everything in prospective, it is easy to see how to get results...
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, AND REMEMBER THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE ON YOUR SIDE, STAY PATIENT AND DEDICATED AND YOU WILL REACH YOUR GOALS IN NO TIME

THANKS,
CAROLE

    Thanks to everyone who read my story...That is part of the reason everyone is going to be successful using this method....I had been fighting the fat battle for the majority of my life and then I finally said enough is enough and It will be one year in March that I joined the gym and started my journey...and really that is what is it, it's not how fast you lose it in the littlest amount of time, it is a lifestyle change because I have to be conscious about my foods I eat and the exercises I do for the rest of my life....It has been an inspiration to come here and read all the kind words and see that wonderful people still do exist.....It has taken alot of hard work to get to this point and I'm not finished yet...I am now down to 191 lbs and realistically I would love to lose 20 more, and I am determined to keep going and I hope my story inspires one person to do the same....I have so much to live for, and I want to be around for along time and if even one pound gives me one more day with my family, my wonderful g/f and my son ( and eventually grandchildren) it will have been work all the hard work...
    Keep up the good work everyone and I will keep you updated...
    thanks again for all the support and replies..
    love you all,
    Carole

    I really don't have many secrets, but I will share with you some of the things I have learned and used
    First is that I think completing a food journal everyday is wonderful, I found it hard at first to be dedicated to write down everything, but it made me aware of how much I was eating each day and now I have "no shame" when I fill out my food each day, and 2nd is EXERCISE,EXERCISE,EXERCISE...I spend 4 days at the gym and at first it was all I could do to work out for 30 mins, but I hung in there and now I can workout for 2 hrs 4 days a week!!! Now please keep in mind every person has a limit to what they can do so LISTEN TO YOUR BODY and DON'T OVERDUE IT
    weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint.....

    thanks for all your support
    :heart:
