I'm about 10 days into a "Lifestyle Change" of the diet variety and starting to see and feel some very modest and appropriate results. Unfortunately what I have to lose is the same 40 pounds I lost in 2000; at that time I was very close to my goal, but now I get to do it all over again.
At that time, life, or should I say work, intervened. Our A/P - Purchasing person left the company because she felt overworked and underpaid; I took over all of her job plus almost all the job I already had, which was not even in accounting. With two different work streams to juggle, I was at full tilt and at highest efficiency every minute of every day just to keep up. By the end of the day I was too exhausted and pressed for time to exercise or make the effort to eat right. Goodbye successful regime.
After 18 months working like that, and eating a lot of comfort food and quick dinners I regained most of the weight. The situation finally changed after I threatened to quit if I didn't get some relief.
Now after an additional 18 months floundering around trying to get the pieces of my life back togeher (yet another story), I feel able to focus and try the weight loss thing again. So, I'm hopeful. Again.

Congratulations! The best to you. I tend to chew my nails which is going to make it difficult for when I get my nails done before my wedding. It'll be a pain getting them on and I'm certain they'll be looking pretty shabby by the end of the evening. See, just another reason to elope, right? :D
