Today she celebrate 5 months ( 5 MONTHS!) of maintenance. she have actually lost 16 more pounds since hitting she goal weight of 160 Ibs. on April 15, weighing in this morning at 143.6 !
she never dreamed that she could do this back when she weighed 328 Ibs. In fact, she had originally set she goals at 75 Ibs. thinking she could never even get that low, since she have never before hit a weight loss goal. These are 10-15 ways ( she tried to limit it to 15, a nice round number, but these are all so important, she couldn't leave a single one of them off she list) that she life has changed after losing 183 Ibs.
