You look SO GOOD and you are inspiring me, but I have decided I just cannot go on another "diet." My husband has gotten his weight down by walking religiously every day, and by cutting back on portions and carbs. We really would like to know some of your secrets. We understand you are not a doctor, and promise not to sue you if your tricks don't work for us!

That is key because it keeps you invested in the new lifestyle of eating better and moving more. Diets and bootcamps don't work neither does deprivation. We're older and wiser so we choose to do the right things for ourselves and when we start seeing results it feels so good! Keep it up my friend, you look "amazeballs"!!!<br />xo,<br />KellyannKellyann Rohrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320531991490519576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-17440743185935145232018-11-15T10:20:28.554+00:002018-11-15T10:20:28.554+00:00Oh thank you for your sweet words, Christy, and yo...Oh thank you for your sweet words, Christy, and you are so right in what you say.

I hope you are in good health too, I feel from your comments that you are.<br />The person inside is what counts and I don't think dieting works, especially if doing it at a superficial level just to "look good".

It's true that everything starts with a thought or a revelation. An epiphany. I love your description of your eating plan as simple, lightly held, balanced, flexible and elegant.
