Wow, Lucylucy, you are inspring! I love your advice! It also helps me to be obsessive with this lili, for example checking these message boards frequently and keeping a food journal are a must for my weight loss. Also, exercise keeps me motivated to eat healthier and while I work out I think about how good I will look and that soon I will look like one of the gym bunnies, hehe. Another tip is to not cheat (that was my problem, I got down to 137 and cheated my way back up to 146, as you can see I am back down to 143.5 so I am getting there.)
