That is encouraging! Great job :) I'm trying to lose 40 pounds too!

I haven't had it checked, but I think I'm going to when I schedule a physical at the beginning of the year. No, it doesn't run in my family but it seems that it could be a factor after having a baby, so I've seen with some responses. And no, I haven't taken BC since 2008.
