I am at 127 lbs. down from 198 lbs. I started this journey Sept1 2012. I now wear a size 8 comfortably. Was wearing 18/20 and getting to small. I have had a lot of positive remarks and a lot of negative . I have just taken the good with the bad and considered the source. I have done this on my own with no pills or fad diets. I just quit eating bags of chips and boxes of cookies. Quarts of ice cream. I still indulge but keep it limited. I watch my salt intake drink only water no diet pop. I watch my sugars and carbs but I still enjoy what I am eating. I would like to lose another 2 to 7 lbs. but if I do so be it .
