Good article!! I lost only 40 pounds but that's all I wanted to lose. The only way to lose weight permanently is to change yourr lifestyle,, stop eating junk and become more active.. I started in 2001 and now, at 80 I'm still 40 pounds lighter and I'm in better shape. I can't even press 100 pounds and I don't look like a weightlifter but I'm healthy and in good shape.

But it took me ten years to do it.

Good stuff, Julia. So often, we see people online and hear about their achievements, but it's done without any real context. I'm glad to see you bringing some here.

That is very kind of you, Steve. I've seen Joan for a while, and as someone who does not in any way wish to be seen as an influencer, what I care about is transparency. We honestly have no clue how hard people have to work to get good at what they do, and the results they get. It's trivialized when we imply "all ya gotta do is...." No. that's not the case.
