Ove the last 3 years I have gained about 70 pounds. I don't know why - clearly I know how: eating too much. But I've been struggling a LOT trying to lose even 5 pounds. I joined a weight loss site (it's not free) that sets the weight loss up in stages and goals. The final goal I needed to meet before moving to the next stage was to lose 5 pounds.
Finally, after about 2 months...I DID IT!! I started 202.8 pounds...ended up getting up to 204...and now I'm down to 197.8. So in reality...I've lost 6.2 pounds! And that weight loss I achieved in about a week and half :)
I'll share what I did later. But for now, I have to go to work!
