Oh you skinny minnie, you! You may have lost 60 lbs. but I found it! Seriously, congrats, Kirsten. You're quite the disciplined gal, eh? You look great!

Thank you!

You're quite the disciplined gal, eh?

So far, I had no idea I was, but I was surprised that I was able to make this diet for such a long time. After all, I love eating!

LOL

You shouldn't get any thinner though.

I agree, it's enough now. Used to weigh about 63 kg (139 lbs) in my early twenties, but that's a long time ago, of course.

Ha, that's what I weigh now, but I believe you're a bit taller than me (1,68). Up until I was 35, I weighed 50 kg.

Congratulations Kirsten! That is a wonderful accomplishment! The best part is that you have been practicing good eating habits, if you keep at it, you should be able to keep the weight off.
And just look at the gorgeous Miss Emma! She is every bit as cute now as when she was a puppy. I sure wish I could wrap my arms around her & give her big squeeze! Would you do that for me, please, and give her a snooter smooch, too?

Kirsten you look absolutely elegant!! Congratulations on the healthier eating and healthy loss!! I am also in the *maintenance* phase and have only added two pounds which just means start recording and counting more closely - have gone overboard a few times but stillenjoying every food I love. We can encourage each other NOT to be set back on all the hard work of losing. (((HUGS))) and more congratulations to you - the pictures are wonderful and you look beautiful!

You look fabulous! Congrats on your stunning weight loss.

Congratulations!! That's a huge accomplishment! I just started a diet two weeks ago.. I'm doing the same thing.. reduced calories, lots of water, and more exercise. I've only lost 7 pounds so far but it's encouraging that I'm not going UP anymore! I hope to lose 60 pounds. Your story is a great push of encouragement!

Thank you!

Congrats on your weight loss!!

12 kg down is already a huge success, and it's encourging for you to go on... I think the weight watchers methods are really great (a co-worker of mine has lost weight that way).

For my diet, I only reduced fat and calories. Most of the days, I just had a calory intake of 1400 - 1600. And I did Nordic Walking, which is a bit difficult right now because of the weather.

No need to count calories with Weighwatchers! Only be sure to eat a balanced meal. Yes, we have to count "points", but it is much easier than counting calories

.
Thanks for the encouragement!! You look fabulous!!!

Yes, my co-worker told me about this point system, and the well-balanced meals, so I guess Weight Watchers is a really good and healthy method. And it sounds it's working well for you! Way to go!
