I am one third of the way through the year and am very pleased with my progress so far, one third of the excess weight has gone. This is a roller coaster ride which is made more bearable by the encouragement and support of a loyal band of fellow 'losers' who share the journey with me. 

As the weight melts away, the task gets more difficult.  The body fights to retain what it has gained.  The mind must be strong to overcome the habits of many years. 

The payoff is worth the effort.  I feel fitter and healthier.  I  embrace the new approach as a permanent lifestyle change for the better.  I 
am doing this for my future well-being. 

I know this is right for me.
