I just came across this group. What a laugh!!! People in the same boat as i am. This is my story....really short. I gained 66lbs in about 5-6 years and was planning to lose all of it in about 5-6 months. It hasn't worked so far as planned. I have now decided to take everything in my stride. I have lost 16lbs in almost 5 months, not complaining....slow and steady wins the race. I'm feeling healthy and strong. No more fatigue and obsession with food. What more could one ask for??? I wish everyone the very best on this journey. Success is ours.
