Hi Biz, you can do this. It really can be done. I lived all my life fat, obese since my early adulthood and kids. colestrol terrible, in badshape with blood , BP, and loaded with cervical issues. My ankles are like my neck. I lost 65 pounds, and I would have done it before if I new how easy it was. I just drank water, ate less, gave up fast food, coke(bubblie kind) It came off fast when I ate right. My counter is loaded with fruit at all times, cut up veggies in the fridge, yogurt. I can say for sure, IT CAN be done. Good luck to you, just wait till you can wear those cloths you couldn't before. It is so much fun.
