I have continued to stay on my healthy life plan. I was 240 pounds and have been maintaining my weight at 155 for 9 years. I love to share my recipes as I need taste and flavor in my food and keeping the calories down. I still have my steak and potato as my reward on a date out. I hope to post more of my recipes as I know weight loss is not easy, but when you find someone that has been there, its so wonderful. I kayak, hike now and I never went to the gym during my weight loss. You will get your energy back as you lose your weight. Love and living a good life.
