Hi momtomany1!

Thank you so much! I'm pretty excited about this 96 lbs being off....FINALLY! It's been so many years since I have been at this weight...I'm sad I was at this weight for so long, however, better late then never right?!?!? Can't look back now with regrets, that isn't helpful.

Congratulations on losing 24lbs!!! That's FANTASTIC!!!! Well done! You must be pretty thrilled about your loss....you SHOULD be girl!

I tried WW's many years ago and it was a disaster for me...I gained weight like crazy. All the foods they encouraged me to eat were the foods I was allergic to. I stayed away from the ones that would throw me in the hospital but tried to incorporate the ones that gave me less reactions....needless to say, I gained weight like crazy. Each week was so embarrassing because at weigh in, everyone else around me was losing weight and then when my turn came to jump on the scales I would be 5 to 10 lbs heavier each week! What a downer I can tell you!

I hope your sister can take a peek at this new way of eating and give it a try. I have some family members near and dear to me that just recently saw me and have taken notice on how much different I look and now are considering trying to eat the way I am. At first when they heard what I was doing they didn't think it was a good idea and had preconceived ideas from all the negative garbage they have heard about eating this way. The way I look at it is...the proof is the way I look. If that inspires them to give this new way of eating a try, I will be tickled and I know they will be all the more healthier for it. The thing is, they have to be determined to start. Lets hope the people we love in our families do!

Keep up the great work you're doing! And thanks again for the post, I greatly appreciate it!

Let me know if your sister decides to change her way of eating.
