    Thank you for your post. I needed this reminder to just keep taking one day at a time. One pound at a time. It all adds up in the end. Your post is very realistic in that it averages out to 1-2 pounds a week or so.

    Wow, congratulations. I have started and stopped so many times. This year is different. I am starting the retirement process and have more time to focus on myself. Goals are 50 lbs and get off BP meds. Reading your post helps me know I can do it.....thanks

    I hope you can get off them, but please, don't be too disappointed if/when you can't and don't see it as a reason/excuse to get back up. Overweight and obesity are not good for us regardless of the effect weight loss has on our need for medication. Blood pressure is just one indicator we know, nothing more.

    VERY impressive. Your honesty was inspirational; you helped not just yourself to a better lifestyle. You motivated others on the same path. Today, YOU are my hero!

    That's amazing! I hope to do the same, because you're right it's a lifestyle not a diet.

    wow over 100 lbs, why do you think you gained the weight. I probably would have done the same but I had parents that gave me a hard time, humiliated me so I was afraid to, I gained 40 that I had to lose. Congrats, quite an accomplishment!

    I resonate with this so much! I’m restarting…again…And it’s hard to not have a negative attitude about it. But I’ve got to do something. My weight keeps going up. You’re an inspiration! Thank you for sharing!
