I started losing weight in the spring, but didn't get serious until September. My afters were taken this week. Approximately 20 pound weight loss. I'm 5'5" and my initial goal is 150 but I may decide to push it down a bit more to 135.

Nothing fancy, no gimmicks, just counting calories and regular exercise so that I get to eat more :-)
