I feel great. I have been able to stop using my inhalers and I can now walk up the 3flights of stairs (daily) to my college classes. I took the elevators 1/3 of the time the first semester and the after my weight loss I didn't take it at all. I have been able to exercise easier and longer also. I walk as much as I can no matter where I'm at, on campus, home, shopping. I know it was the little things that help me loose the weight and I know it's the life changes I made during and since that will help keep it off. Having the support of my husband and family made all the difference in the world this time around. Yes I have dieted before, but never lost this amount until this time. For all those that don't see a difference at 15 or 20 lbs. hang a picture side/by/side every 20lbs and you will see a difference. I went from a size16-18 to 12 and then now I'm at a 10 (comfortable). I went from xl tops to med. I didn't see it in the mirror and still don't always, but I look at the pictures of me before-during and after and I see it then.. That's what keeps me going.

    Your story is encouraging. School and weight loss are hard to do together. Life style changes must have included some new planning skills to lose that must weight in that period of time.

    That's great! I know the difficulties of school and losing weight (having put on the weight the first 3 years and am now in the process of taking it off). Glad you have made the changes. Any pics?
