I was wearing size 16/14 when I started August 2011. 27 pounds later, I can comfortably wear a size 10, and beginning to get into some size 8's. I still have another 20 pounds to go. BTW I'm 5' 8.5" tall.

I just bought it yesterday. Wish me luck! :drinker:

I was born in New York City, but I am Cuban- American. My family is from Cuba. Cubans are a beautiful mix of Spanish (Spain) and African, so we come in all the delicious shades of skin colors. I also have some French in me from my Dad's side (his grandfather). :love:

I'm from the Windy City, Chicago, Ilinois, USA- :)
