The Day Off Diet

I've struggled with my weight since college. From age 19 to age 25 I was at least 30 pounds over weight. During that time I tried lots of different diets without success. This last fall (October 2008) I came across something new called The Day Off Diet and I decided to try that out because it looked like it would be easy to follow and it also looked like it was different than any diet I had tried before. I thought that since none of the other diets I had tried had worked, I should try something that's totally different.

And guess what? I was right! It's now January 2009 and I've done it. I've lost 40 pounds and I'm at my goal weight (which is 115 pounds.)

I decided to start this blog as an inspiration to other people who are struggling to lose weight and also as a reminder to myself to not gain the weight back! (Keeping the weight off is just as important as losing it the in the first place.)

In particular I want to inspire my sister who just started The Day Off Diet too because she saw how well I did with it. She has a little bit more weight to lose than I did (about 65 pounds) but I'm sure she can do it too! She's set a goal of reaching her goal weight by July and I think she can do it.

So I'll be reporting on her progress too.

Why doesn't she make a blog herself? I tried to get her to! Trust me. But she's a bit of a "technophobe" and gets freaked out working with things like this. She will be reading it though. Hi Sis!

Well best of luck to everyone out there who is looking to lose weight! You can do it! Just believe in yourself.
