Hi! I would love to join this thread, although clearly it's been going on for months and I actually have 14 pounds to lose. My goal weight is 120, and I have weighed that much in the summer for the past 4 years. My weight always fluctuates up in the winter, but I'm finding for the first time I just can't lose the weight!…
