    Good job and welcome to the 40lbs lost club! I remember the day I hit 40lbs lost, I got on the scale @ the gym after working out and I almost cried...(almost,LOL!) It feels good. It's too much work to get it off so I know you sure as heck dont want it back.

    i did hit a plateau around 160lbs. i just kept going and tried upping my calories some. i started losing hope but after a month i finally busted through it!

    Wow, judging that picture I would say you were a 4-6. You look very nice.

    Congratulations on 40 :)
