It is so much easier to gain than it is to lose and the slow way is best chance of maintaining the loss. &nbsp;I agree those last ten are the most difficult so power through and don't get discouraged.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-weight-loss/page/2#post-1383434 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 21:02:59 +0000 Janet 1383434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianna, you are beautiful no matter what, but you are looking especially terrific!

What a beauty you are.&nbsp;Then, wow, what a change! You and your husband really look very healthy and good now. It was the best decision to make lifestyle changes as opposed to embarking on any "diet", since this will pay off in the long term. Changes are very slow to show, but I promise, at one point, it starts going very fast with visible results, often in a sudden manner after months and months of the new lifestyle. Please do post gain on YLF, because, You look fab!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-weight-loss/page/2#post-1383201 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 12:05:28 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1383201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations Mariana. &nbsp;You have beautiful features at both weights but with the loss, they are more lovely. &nbsp;Your hubby looks great too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-weight-loss/page/2#post-1383043 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 02:12:42 +0000 Style Fan 1383043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in the blue dress.&nbsp; Congratulations to both of you.&nbsp; You were beautiful before and after. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-weight-loss/page/2#post-1382916 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 23:43:05 +0000 Karie 1382916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on the weight loss!

Thanks for sharing. It's so true when you eat that way you are less hungry and it's easier to stay on track because you don't have cravings!</p> <p>Beth Ann, for me it's also approx 20 lbs of weight loss to drop a size… so frustrating! I am really thick through the middle which makes it even harder to go down in clothing size! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-weight-loss/page/2#post-1382864 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 21:53:53 +0000 crutcher 1382864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you have made a slow lifestyle change...Your weight will stay off more easily if you have done it slowly...Three cheers for you and you do look wonderful... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-weight-loss/page/2#post-1382823 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 20:47:50 +0000 Lyn D. 1382823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats!

Losing weight is not easy and maintaining is even harder. In past few months, I have gained a few pounds too and my usual exercise routine is not helping. This morning, I was thinking may be I should start making some changes with my diet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-weight-loss#post-1382455 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 11:52:40 +0000 marianna 1382455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the kind words, all! Definitely gives me a boost and motivation to really work hard on shedding that last 20 lbs! Because I lost first 40 lbs so slowly, it doesn't seem like a *big* loss to me... DonnaF, I never did the math, but it's interesting that it equates to approx 3 lbs per month. I haven't lost any weight in a few months now, so overall I think the average was 4 lbs per month, so 1 lb per week… but some weeks nothing! It's been a slow progress, so the changes have been very subtle. But I am wearing a size or two less, so I know the progress must be showing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-weight-loss#post-1382408 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 08:47:46 +0000 Deborah 1382408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations Marianna! You and hubby look wonderfully healthy and fit. Bet you notice the difference in your energy levels etc. I have just embarked on a similar dietary change to better manage blood sugar ups and downs and am hoping this will lead to loosing some excess weight. You have inspired and encouraged me. You are looking gorgeous.i </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-weight-loss#post-1382343 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 04:30:45 +0000 rabbit 1382343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>congratulations! &nbsp;That's a big accomplishment of your goals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-weight-loss#post-1382327 Fri, 24 Oct 2014 03:49:01 +0000 catgirl 1382327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianna, you've always been lovely.
