I was looking for some motivational quotes about weight loss, and I ran across this site: Laura's Weight Loss Journey. This lady lost almost 120 pounds in about 3 years. A terrific feat!
But she has a weight chart posted there, and I saw that since she reached her goal in January 2005, she has gained back 60 pounds of the weight she lost. This is just so sad, plus it's typical of most weight loss efforts. Dotti of Dotti's Weight Loss Zone lost 95 pounds in 1998, and by 2005 had gained back 86 pounds of it. She's working on it again, but it's just more proof that your body wants to be where it wants to be. Proof that you can't beat genetics and pre-dispositioning. Damn!
