2. My dear applegrove!

Good!

But that doesn't mean that you can stop.....

This is why I always talk about making changes you can live with.

Keep it up!

[applegrove]

4. No. Every change I make is a lifestyle change for life. I keep that in mind as I do it. That

is why I have not lost that much weight in 3 weeks. Slow and steady like a turtle.

5. That is VERY smart!

6. Quitting smoking was MUCH easier for me to do than losing weight. Congratulations and keep it up...

9. One of those self propagating fringe benefits of dieting

The less you eat, the less you want to eat. It's the side effect that keeps weight off. The snowball effect in reverse. I'm very happy for you and that you've found how simple it really is. It'll be easy for you to maintain good habits.

Fear made me lose weight. The perpetuation of the routine keeps it off. I love pissing off my friends who can't/won't lose weight just due to their own stubborness. I wouldn't normally gloat, but they're conservative, and so I do so with much relish.
