[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always thought that losing those last 10 lbs was impossible. I'm in my early 40s, 5'7''. Was about 143-145. Now about 138 consistently. Would love to be 133-135 and for the first time in years I believe I can do it.

My husband got a high cholesterol reading and changed his diet, which motivated me because I wanted to change what we had (or didn't have) in the kitchen, and I also wanted to outdo him a little bit (we're competitive).

So I was careful about sugar, dessert, high fats, and mostly snacks (chips, cheese-its, etc... which I now realize I may have had about 300-400 calories of fairly often).

With eliminating salty snacks, focusing on veggies at most meals, trying to eat full fat yogurt/cottage cheese/some additional protein, I found I was able to drop 5 lbs fairly quickly while still having the occasional drink, dessert, or onion rings in moderation. I also stopped purchasing all lunches except salad, and bringing salad to work (don't worry, I eat tons of fats in salad and they keep me full).

Is this really the secret? Just discipline? Or have I not yet hit the wall of peri and in a few years it'll all return?[/quote]

What kind of salad do you eat?  Do you buy it from restaurants or make it yourself?[/quote]
