Congrats on losing that much weight!! Thanks for sharing your pics! You look really happy!!! Losing weight is pretty simple , eat right and exercise. Alot of people really do think its more than that. LOL I just have to laugh, because most of those people are in my family any they just dont "get it" . My sister is constantly buying new "stuff" for dieting and exercise. Shes gonna go broke before she loses a single lb.

Keep up the absolutly great work your doing!! Its working !!

In theory, anyway! But eating right and excercising regularly is NOT simple; it is hard work and requires dedication and commitment!!!

Well...it is simple, it's just not always easy. You're right in that it is hard work, but sooooo worth it!

LOL you know it is interesting that you said that... I looked up the word "simple" and it said a synonym is "easy" -- I never thought they were the same thing either!!! But whatever, you are definitely right that it is WORTH it!

That's exactly what I've always said. It's simple - but it's not easy!

You look so fab in yur pics Shannon - you're a true inspiration!!

Way back in January when I'd lost 10 lbs a colleague at work who wants to lose 10 lbs asked me how I did it. I told her - eating less and exercising. She sighed and said "I wish I could do that too!"

Next time I went in the staff room she was eating a bar of chocloate! I felt like grabbing it off her and saying "Well, if you eat crap like that it's never going to come off, is it you stupid woman!" But I smiled inwardly and ignored her. Now I've lost 35 lbs and she's still 10 lbs overweight. It's hardly rocket science!

LOL the dictionary says they mean exactly the same thing... but okay. And I tend to think you are right... regardless of what the dictionary says, I don't think most people SEE them as the same thing...??? So I agree with you and not the dictionary LOL

It's easy theoretically, but not easy willpower-wise!
