I have lived with this lifetime of fat and weight. All around my mid-section for the most part. I just know that this time when I lose that I want it to be permanent. in the past I did quickly-i.e., starving myself via low-fat and low-cal. I also know that as soon as I started eating "real" again I gained it all back unfortunately. I also lost sooo much lean muscle with previous weight losses.

I have made my "new" goal to gain more lean body mass and keep it. I have also made it a goal to lose body fat-not muscle. Some people will lose faster than others. I try real hard to not be frustrated by it, otherwise it will do no good other than undermine my goals and determination!

Stick with - trust me you will see differences. Unfortunately my first big difference came in my upper body. I went from a 38D to now a 36B. The good new is that it's now finally beginning to move off my buddha belly!
