Congratulations, it's a great relief to see that blood work come back normal, isn't it. I think you're right about the secret. I think I've tried "them all" and the only way I consistently lose weight is to juggle calories between 1000-1500 and move around as often as I can.

Congradulations Rhonda! How sweet is that victory?!

I appreciate your reflection, as well. Isn't it funny/sad how we know we can totally know what we need to do and we simply don't do it?

Rhonda, that is fantastic news. And so comforting to those still struggling with IR to know that a healthy lifestyle can turn things around.

So, I no longer have a convenient excuse for not losing weight.

I was thinking a lot yesterday about my stalled weight loss and I had an ah ha moment. My top four weight loss heroes here at 3FC have all lost weight with the same weight loss secret. They didn't lose by drinking a "special" drink or paying big money on a "special" weight loss product or plan. Their secret? Counting calories and sweating. That's right. It all came down to the simple equation of calories in versus calories out. So, why have I been fighting the need to follow this simple plan?

This is wonderful, Rhonda! Not only did you get good news on your doctor's visit but you have had that wonderful "ah ha moment" that we all have to have to get to goal. I'm so proud of you.

That's amazing, GirlyGirlSebas! Diabetes and obesity run in my family, so I know how that struggle is. Keep up the awesome work.

Isn't it funny how simple the "secret" is... and how hard it is to stick to it?
