  • Here is my starting picture from July 2010 at size 18
    Second picture is from April of 2011 (goal weight)
    final picture is summer 2011 (maintaining...toning up)
    Update, I maintained most of loss for 12 months, but over course of next 18 months gained about 10-12 pounds.

    Then over last 10 months (so total of 3.5 years in maintenance), I put on 20 more pounds.

    last picture is me after 3 years in maintenance...found myself up 35 of the 80 I lost, but no despair....after a 9 week reboot down 27 of those pounds....new picture to post soon (today's date 12/10/14)

    The diet was my 40th birthday present to myself. I started a couple weeks after I turned 40 and I feel about 30 now.....moving and doing are much easier than 72 pounds ago.
