I didn't do anything special. I had a lot of stress in my life (my husband) I was 198, in a size 18 and I'm 5'1. I went to the doctor because I was dieting and gaining weight, I was developing an ulcer, breathing problems, really bad heartburn and blatter problems. My doctor gave me something for my problems and told me to either eliminate the stress or find a better way to deal with it. I chose to get rid of the stress. So I left my husband less then 30 days after see my doctor. I took my kids moved out and stayed with family.

I started eating a little less and walking a little more in a week I had dropped 8 or 9 pounds. I moved into my house and continued on that path, I was already in the habit of not frying my foods which helped too. And every couple of weeks I would check my weight. 30 days after I left my husband I was down 15lbs, 60 days I was down 25lbs, 90 days I was down 32lbs, and now just past 120 days I'm down 42lbs, weighing in at 156 and wearing a size 12 . I'll still losing weight, but I am now starting to focus on target areas like my mid-section and toning. I still walk everyday and I still continue to eat the smaller portions of food. I don't walk far, but it's always intensive and I don't eat special food, just smaller servings. I also have a great support system which includes my children. That's what's working for me, hope it can help someone else; but you know the saying different people different things.
