I lost 100 pounds from mid April '09 to August '09. I have been maintaining
my weight within 4 pounds of the goal I set at the start. When I go over my
limit it only takes a day of salads to get back where I choose to be.
. . .Hardest part is knowing I will never be able to enjoy gourging like I
used to, at one time.  But the benefits of such a weight loss are a true
pleasure, and a medical gold mine (in my case). So the loss of   'stuffing
oneself' are offset tremendiously. . . .chas.
