I have lost approx 40lbs in the last few years, although the exact amount is debatable as i used to refuse to weigh myself! Most friends/family believe it's actually closer to 50-60 lbs lost so far over about a 10 yr period, but i count from where i started actually doing weekly weigh-ins.

I was a WW for years & then decided for health reasons that i wanted to see more specific nutritional info...not just points. It's difficult to translate WW points into exact calories and nutritional info without doing double the work, so joined FS & then eventually quit WW simply because i got tired of entering all on two websites!

FS has been a great eye-opener as to what nutrients i am actually taking in and has allowed me to slowly (and continuously) modify my diet and exercise as i feel is needed...and as my will power allows! I can make better choices simply put.

I have about 75 more lbs to go....keep on plugging away is my motto and eventually i will get there because quitters NEVER win!

1st mini goal:

1) Get under 200lbs
