I found that it was diffcult from time to time I am at my goal weight Of 118. I am 51years old and I wasn't sure I'd get here I laughed when they gave me the goal weight That was what I weighed when grad hs get to it. Was a journey but the best thing so far is when I joined kettle bell class it works everything. I have been it it for 6. Months and have toned lose skin. I toned 15 inches now as far as I eat it is not much I start with protein always and I from time to time. Drink a protein shake I know everyone get tired of them but to keep protien up I will from time to time. Thanks y'all for words of kindness they are appreciated.

I size 18 Now I am half of me I weigh 120 I find it hard to believe it is me but it is I am a size 4 as to date I drink my water and coffee I find it settles food I live in small town and no support system. Family. Was really my support I went from 7 pills a day to none today well a vit on the day I was to be operated on they told me I was a diabetic and I said no. And they said yes I am and that would have ment more pills As I lost weight my energy level is so much more I just ran first 5 k. And I do kettle bells which has toned 10 and half inches And if u find uR self not loosing weight it may be inches instead of lbs good luck to all and yes I would do all over again. Drink your water and exercise

Yes there have been stall. Times The things I changed when stall was exercise the routine. I found that kettle bell works so well it tones and tighten I go to class 3 times a weeks and on the 2 days walk or ride bike. As for the maintenance I have a little skin around tummy but working on that I have abs I have only been doing the bells for 5 months and toned 10 and half inches. And no skin on my arms They have challenger and had to write my daily intake down and that helped a lot may be this will help u and good luck u can do this it is what we all want. Ask anything u want I think sharing thought helps a lot of people in many ways
