I have seen close friends of mine who were able to take it off and maintain it with just eating healthy and working out for an hour or so a day. It took them a little longer but they held on. I am starting my journey on that path next week:)Launna https://www.blogger.com/profile/09447311902825477772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-89172647175767007842013-04-12T23:21:13.461-07:002013-04-12T23:21:13.461-07:00Not sure what i could add since I'm pretty muc...Not sure what i could add since I'm pretty much the opposite of Dana here, but it sounds like you're eating well and doing plenty of exercise and the only thing really holding you back is the alcohol consumption. If you can substitute beer for water you should be well on your way. Easy for me to say, I never drink beer. And everyone is constantly harping on me about my soda intake but without my daily dose of caffeine I can't stay up late enough to blog or work on my story. Sigh... I need a nutritionist. And a personal trainer. And 48-hour days. <br /><br />Keep us posted on your progress. You may not reach your goal weight in time for the wedding, but the important thing is maintaining a healthy lifestyle and feeling good about yourself. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-42323630019492297212013-04-12T13:49:28.074-07:002013-04-12T13:49:28.074-07:00Well, I've put on about 25 pounds, which I did...Well, I've put on about 25 pounds, which I didn't lose during hibernation. So I understand something of your plight. But I don't have any weddings to solemnize (as in couples to marry), so I'm not worried about that matter. I have lost five of those pounds in the past few weeks, which is encouraging, and I may lose some more. <br /><br />Here's to your health — improved by the loss of a few pounds.<br /><br />Blessings and Bear hugs!<br /><a href="http://bears-noting.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Bears Noting</a>Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-84666541184313443702013-04-12T13:01:22.511-07:002013-04-12T13:01:22.511-07:00I lost my 20 pounds by just eating less every meal...I lost my 20 pounds by just eating less every meal....and it worked, BUT it took about 6 months....<br />Have a happy weekend!

I started exercising (like you) more regularly, but I also added waaaaay more protein and fiber to my diet, which is very filling. However, recently I added wine to my occasional diet... and POOF! The weight started going up. Hmm... could be a sign? I cut back again on it and things went back to normal.<br /><br />You are not "k"idding yourself! :) The weight (cottage cheese) comes off when calorie intake becomes grossly replaced by calorie burning. However, don't take my protein thing lightly--it works! Chicken, veggies and beans.
