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.<br /><br />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.)<br /><br />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.)<br /><br />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.<br /><br />So I'll be reporting on her progress too.<br /><br />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. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Hi Sis!</span><br /><br />Well best of luck to everyone out there who is looking to lose weight! You can do it! Just believe in yourself.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8089053059868531391-1129991934291190233?l=my-awesome-weight-loss-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karen Pricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05941448994215689017noreply@blogger.com3
