    New here but wanted to post my before and afters

    This is me at 256 pounds.....


    And this is me now, 143 pounds

    An excuse is just a way to justify what we wanted to do anyway....so, what's your excuse?

                      Re: New here but wanted to post my before and afters

                      I started in January 2005 and by June had lost 70 pounds. It took me another 9 months to lose the next 30 and almost 9 more to lose the next 10.....I climbed the rungs...no forever induction for me...just did it like it was written. there have been a few times where I felt like my focus was off adn I have gone back and done 2 weeks of induction and quickly climbed the ladder again but I have never gone off plan in 2 years. I don't believe in cheating and I don't believe in free days.

                      It's not because I am so amazingly strong or anything like that and it isn't easy for me, it is just that I recognize how weak I am and know that a few steps down that road and I am lost....the kiss of death as Dr A says.
