That's awesome! What type of foods did you mostly eat?

Before I ate anything I wanted, but when I made a change, I threw out all pasta and sweets. I ate only chicken salad and green beans.

Those sound like much healthier choices. Congratulations! How long did it take to achieve your goal?

About 2 years. Now that's not just losing weight, but also building muscle.
