OK, Turtle Queen here ..... 35 lbs lost in the first 8 months, and 10 lbs lost in the last 16 months .. and never a steady loss, but extreme yo-yo's the whole time. Not to discourage anybody else .. I have many chronic health problems affecting my losses .. BUT .. the sentiment is the same.

For me, this isn't a diet that will come to an end at some time in the future. This truly is my Way Of Life (WOL) and I can honestly say that I didn't feel this way a year ago. Right now .. eating steak and salad for breakfast .. or ordering a restaurant meal with no potato, please substitute extra vegetable or salad .. is second nature. I genuinely and sincerely do not want to eat potato or bread.

Having been on quick weight-loss schemes in the past ... I know that I never, ever felt that the way I was eating at the time was going to be the way I ate for the rest of my life.

I do now
