Lulika, those are seriously elegant shoes - they would almost double my height!!
Great job on the weight loss - you are obviously extremely motivated.

Thanks all. I am so flattered you like my shoes!

Liz, for the weight loss, I am not counting calories, but instead have cut down my carb intake to a fraction of what Iused to eat. So no white bread, rice, potatoes, chips etc. No ice cream or sweets, no chocolate...you get the idea! Basically I am just eating healthy stuff..lots of salads, greens, I am a vegetarian so no meat, plenty of low fat low sugar yogurt and cheese and afew nuts. It is working for me
The main huge difference I have made is going from a couch potato to someone who exercises. I started off doing a 30 mins a day walk, 5 times a week. I am now up to an hour and a half, 5 times a week. I have tried so many diets but never stuck to an exercise regime. Whilst I still dont love it, I am convinced that it has doubled my overall weight loss efforts.
Good luck!!

Wear those hills while you can. But still take care of the feet. Me I've taken my belt in a notch since Christmas and most of my jeans would fall off with out the belt! Gonna lose another 10 pounds before I buy more pants. The ones I bought last summer are to big without the belt!!!!

Keep up the good work.

Way to go Janlaton! I also see the biggest difference in my jeans. I have 6 pairs that are now way too big and this week I bought a new dress (I never wear dresses) and it actually looks ok on me! Wonders will never cease!

I can only dream of wearing such a beautiful shoe (weak ankles). Keep up the good work.
