And to be completely honest, having lost 177lbs, the "naughty" food choices are not as appealing as they used to be. Maintaining for me has…

  • I remember being freaked out that I could fit through turnstiles... they have them at concert events or theme parks, and in Menards. I was walking into Menards with my sister and I went to walk through the cart gate, and my sister stopped me. She told me I was thin enough to fit through the turnstile and when I did, I…
