Too many times people painstakingly diet over a period of months only to regain the weight. Marjorie, my sister, and I have been through this frustrating cycle more times than we can count. We’ve worked hard to lose a substantial number of pounds only to gain them back the following year. Starting in 2017 we began supporting each other and lost the weight we did not want one more time. This time we were not going to go back and begin again. We were going to win at this game.
Being rather studious, in addition to emailing and talking to each other regularly, we scoured the academic and popular literature. We assumed some smart person must have written that book or completed that study. Lots of information out there, but we were shocked to see how little has been written about what to do once one arrives.
