Thumbs up Slow and Steady means 50 Pounds Gone

Today I'm celebrating in more than just my journal! After almost 19 months I have lost 50 pounds. I'm just so pleased to have got there. I would never have been able to do it on a low fat diet as after the first 6 weeks I never lost any more weight. The reason being, I now know, is because I was putting my body into starvation mode. Hence having done that repeatedly I am pretty insulin resistent.

Well, now it is on to the next 50 pounds which I hope I will be able to lose in the same time span. My target for 2003 is to lose a total of 30 pounds. So far, 2 months in, I have lost 7. If I can maintain that then I could lose 42 pounds, but I think that unlikely, I'll take anything over 30.

Here are some pictures of me, the first in February 2002 and the second a couple of weeks ago. The difference in weight is just 25 pounds, but was really pleased with my progress.
