Ever read the the article and photo captions of persons who have lost lots of weight. But along with the wonderful success stories, no matter what the diet product or plan, there is always the disclaimer "Results not typical" Well that's the future me. My weight loss has not been fast nor easy! Diet books, videos, and dvds weigh down the shelves on my floor to ceiling bookcase. But this time, I'm using them. My journey to a healthier, happier me is gonna take hard work and consistent effort. Please join me on my Journey to be an "After" My goal is to type my own caption "Results Not Typical".
