    I started with 123# to lose and currently have just 28# left. My diary is open and I have good days and bad days.....my good days far "outweigh" the bad so I continue to lose (slowly at this point!) and that is what counts!

    I wish you the best! You *can* do it!

    ETA: I'm not really adding people, but I get asked about how I did it so often that I blogged about it. Feel free to take a look if you want.

    Add me! Add me! I need to lose a ton of weight! And am having a hard time getting motivated enough to make it thru a whole day without backsliding on the eating! And exercise? No way! That's not even a blip on my radar yet! I feel like I just must not be ready emotionally, but I am oh-so-ready physically!!! I need a swift kick in the rump to get me going!!!!!!

    Hi!

    I just signed up but have been on this journey for more than 30 years! Have only recently (July 2011) found the eating plan that works for me and the weight has been melting off.

    The weight loss was an unexpected happy side effect of managing my allergies and arthritis.

    The biggest problem I am facing is from colleagues and so-called friends... Everyone is a critic of my healthy eating plan (too much fat, not enough carbs, shouldn't have chocolate, etc) You name it, I`ve heard it! But I`m sure you have too. People who never spoke to me before seem to believe it is ok to ask how much I`ve lost and a full range of other personal questions.

    As much as I would love to tell them to butt out I have to maintain a degree of professionalism that is required within the workplace.

    Any suggestions of how to deal with what I perceive as their rudeness, would be greatly appreciated.

    I think that most people ask questions about your weight loss probably because they are looking for some tips of their own and most people throw in their two cents because they think they know it all but some people really care. The best thing to do is thank the person for their suggestion and let them know that you have a system that works and you'll keep their suggestion in mind. For other random people who just start asking you personal questions I would keep in mind that they are probably in need of help or tips. I would reverse the questions to them and say " Why do you ask, are you looking for some pointers"? and make it about them and not about you. You may even make some new work out friends.
