In reply to janel. It's true Janel, the first time around is easier BUT you know you can do it. If you did it once you can do it again! At least its only 60 and not 160! I too can allow emotions to get the best of me, but if you can work out and exercise instead, that is what has helped change the pattern for me.

Yeah I lost 160 pounds about6 years ago.

In the last year and half I’ve put on 60 pounds (college graduation, planning my wedding and my grandpa who was like my dad dying).

I’ve found that emotional eating is my biggest struggle. But also that the first time around I weight loss was exciting and easy and now I have to work VERY hard to lose anything.

Your blog, emails and recipes keep me motivated and moving forward. I started healthy eating and portion control 1-1-11, which was 15 months before my 50th birthday. I have gone from 187 pounds to 110 pounds. I have gone from size 16 to size 2. I feel so much better and have so much more energy. You have helped me tremendously and I look forward to everything that I receive from you. Thank you so much for all that you do.

In reply to Angela Lee. YOu can do this Angela! Reaching out to others for support is a great start! I just prayed for you! Plan your food by writing it out each night for the next day and just commit to one day at a time making the choices that you know will help you succeed. You can do it!

I have been following your blog and recipes and really do want to go sugar free. I think I have a sugar addiction because I have tried so many times to cut sugar and I always keep coming back. Praying that I can find enough recipes and willpower to make this life change. Thank you for inspiring me…and giving me the tools to succeed.

Obedience, discipline, PATIENCE, you hit the nail on the head! Hang in there, keeping doing what you know you should, don’t be discouraged if you don’t see the results you think you should see.
My week, maintained but didn’t lose anything, it’s better than a gain from my perspective. Our elliptical machine was delivered and assemble so hopefully today I’ll be able to get some exercise in. I have two teens, so I understand “busy”. I have the same philosophy, there will only be here for a short while and then they’ll be off on their own, I want to soak as much of them in as possible.!

So glad to have found your blog. Love it! I totally agree….. I found the weight came off easier when I had a ton to lose. Now that I’m close to goal, it’s very hard. Every thing I choose to eat will impact my goal. Doing a similar weekly series on my blog has truly helped to hold me accountable. Accountability and Encouragement are huge in making good eating and exercise choices. Looking forward to being a regular reader here. Have a great weekend!!
