Why haven't my efforts in the past worked? One of them worked. The rest did not. Lately, I have not been able to be consistent to lose the weight. When I started my new job, 7 years ago, I feel "off the wagon" with my eating and gained 100 pounds...wow...what a fall. I've not been able to lose the weight during these past 7 years. I had one partial success that got me within 50 pounds of goal...but then gained it back, plus some. I believe that FOCUS is the key. I am REALLY focused this time on losing the weight and I'm absolutely committed to eating right to the lose the weight. I want it gone, asap...and I want to keep it off. I have made a commitment to a lifetime of...1st, getting the weight off...2nd, keeping the weight off...3rd, living a healthy, active lifestyle for the rest of my life. Yes!
