Monique, there is an apparent typo in this post. It says 35 years old. That picture–and pictures don’t lie–says 25. This is an inspirational post, your compliments are well-deserved. I gotta get rid of some pounds and inches, too, so I’ll refer to this frequently. God bless.

First off, 35 is not old. not by a long shot. Second, congratulations on a job well done!

Congratuations and thanks for the “how to” instructions. I’ve always been slender, but I’ve gained a lot of weight in the past year. I can dress to hide it, so people scoff when I say I need to lose. Those people have not seen me in a bathing suit recently! It was also good to hear you say you saw no progress for the first month, but you stuck to it. It would be so easy to lose motivation when seeing no results. I have no willpower to give up my favorite foods, but extreme portion control I might be able to handle. Thanks!!

Sounds like you’ve figured it out! Congrats to you! I have many friends who do the diet thing, only to fail. You went about it the right way: you didnt deprive yourself of anything, so it never became forbidden fruit. And it makes it alot easier to maintain. Thats the trick, a diet isnt a temporary thing, its a change in lifestyle. Way to go.

Funny, I just wrote on another blog that I prefer the small, slender, petite type. The SBD has worked wonders for me and I feel much better, too. So I can relate. I have had friends who lost weight and had the opposite experience. “Are you ill?” “Do you have cancer?” There’s no accounting for what comes out of some peoples mouth.
