It's been a while since I have been on. My 1 year is coming up and it's been a decent journey so far. There have been plenty of ups and downs. I have lost 157 pounds so far and feel great. That's about 90% of my goal. I think I can keep it going although it has slowed down. I have gone from a 4xl to an xl. Exercise has slowed down so I need to pick it back up. It does seem that I can eat more than I could so I should keep track of measuring. I still get nervous about maintaining my weight loss. I do drink alcohol on occasion and it hasn't bothered my weight. I gave up beer forever (i love beer) and switched to low calorie (vodka). I haven't had a soda in 1 year. I still get nervous to this day that I will go back. I have mastered no drinking while you eat (toughest part). I would recommend it to anyone even though it's very difficult at first and mentally trying at times.
