Default only 20 lbs until goal

Well i havent posted for awhile. Uhm lets see I am only 20 lbs from my goal weight. I started at 231 and 71 lbs seemed impossible. I began Jan 02/07 and lost very little on induction. As soon as I added back some of the things such as grapefruit I began losing weight at about 1lb a day. (I wish I had measured) I am now wearing a loose size 14 and at my biggest i was wearing a 18 - 20 . I can shop in regular ladies clothing stores and the selection is so much better. I have way more energy. I no longer have I.B.S episodes, thank god for that, and I sleep well (without snoring).Eventually i hope to reach 160 lbs but quite honestly am very happy where I am now.My husband loves my new look as well.

Thanks for posting. It is so good to hear that you are happy where you are and your husband likes your new look! I know what you mean about not having to worry about shopping and health issues that were bothersome before! I believe that says it all.
