That's fantastic!
I figured out long ago that most diet advice is best ignored. One especially irritating piece of advice I often see is to eat several small meals each day, so you won't feel hungry. What's that all about? If you never feel hungry, how can you tell when you really need to eat? A lot of obesity can be blamed on the fact that people don't listen to their bodies, and they get into the habit of eating whenever they feel like it, instead of when they're genuinely hungry.
Sorry for the mini-rant. My weight is a tad higher than I would like, but still over 60 pounds less than it once was. Weigh yourself every day, that will help keep you motivated.
Hanging the size 10 dress you haven't worn in a few years on the closet door works too. Although, not as fast as it used to since the metabolism tanked.
