Excellent response, Autumn, and right on. For most people, losing weight is like putting duct tape on a leaky water pipe. They're just treating the symptoms - not the cause. It's a temporary fix at best.

You've "taken the time to find what supplements and vitamins my body will need to take in along with this life style change. for me this isnt a "diet" its one part of a lifestyle change for the better" which is why your chances of losing weight - and most importantly, keeping it off - are exceptionally high. You've done your home work and know what you're doing and how you're going to go about doing it. I may have missed it in a previous post, but I don't see anything in your message above about exercise. I trust that will be a component of your program? As you know, it's vital to preserve as much lean body tissue as possible. If possible, get an inexpensive set of calipers to get a reading of your current body fat percentage before you start and track the changes along with the scale to get a very reliable picture of your progress.

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress! (By the way, did you mention in a previous post that you lived in Northern Ontario? Thunder Bay here).
