HI jespha! This is very healthy, the foods that you're eating. Have you lost weight by eating this?

Hi, yes I have. I have lost 170 lbs. since January of 2008.

Wow! I am very impressed. Congratulations! Wasn't it hard for you to stop eating the foods you were used to eating? What got you motivated and staying focus?

Thank you.

Actually, it was a lot of the foods I was already eating, but I was not controlling my portions very well. I got focused because my doctor told me, the next time I'd see her, I'd be a diabetic. That was motivation enough.

Well, that's just great! I am trying to lose a few pounds myself but it's kind of hard. I am looking for something that's going to get me motivated for example, like joining a program and counting how many pounds I've lost. Or like a contest, to see who can lose more pounds. I think that should do the trick for me.

I've been off the diet for 6 weeks. I'm still loosing weight. 30+ lbs now.

Hmm not so good if you lose weight and it's not deliberate, although I get that you're a young man. Is it possible that you have changed your eating and exercising patterns? 'Cause weight loss without cause is a sign of many serious illnesses, and I want you to be okay, f'art.

Thanks but it's a habit, really. I find it's possible to change your habits, drop bad ones and make better ones, by being more conscious of everything in your life. Again, it's not simple (and it can sometime be stressful, no lie), but it's possible.
