Hi I am Lori. In August 2010 my 23 year old son ended up in hospital with heart problems. He was put on heart medication (for the rest of his life) and was told to lose weight. To help him out, I volunteered to go on a diet with him and he could come to my house any day and I would always have "diet" food for him. We started the SMD that day. Unfortunately he gave up after the first week, but I managed to stay on the diet for 3 months and lost 50 lbs!
Unfortunately I strayed from the diet in November but have watched what I have been eating. As a result I have only gained back 3 lbs.
I am going on vacation in April and my goal is to not be the fattest person on the beach this year. I would like to lose another 50 lbs and keep it off. I realize I likely won't do that before April, but that is my ultimate goal.
I feel so much better since I lost weight. I have more energy, less aches and pains, and I have a much more positive attitude.
I am looking for support from other people who are in the process of, or have done a lifestyle change.
I also was the person to create this forum. If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to message me.
