If I remember correctly, Cindy lost quite a bit of
weight at one time. I seem to remember she lost
80 pounds. Is that right, Cindy?

Regardless, kudos to Cindy for sticking with a healthier
eating habit even after she lost the extra weight.

Too many people go on a diet, lose a lot of weight, then
revert back to their old bad diet habits and slowly
gain it all back again.

A diet to lose weight needs to be followed with a complete
diet change for lifetime maintenance. In most cases, you
can continue to eat what you like, just learn to be
satisfied with eating less of it.

Regular exercise plays an important part in all that too.
