One year ago today I joined the gym, since then, I have lost
96 pounds, and over 70 inches ! ( I say over, cause it was 68 inches from the body parts that I measure, there are plenty of spots I dont measure!) I think that was a very successful year! I hope everyone who is starting this new year with goals to lose weight and be healthy have all the success that I have had! Tami
