Just realized I'm at my Halfway point...
That's 18 pounds gone and never to return thanks to my new lifestyle! It's so awesome! :bigsmile: Just wanting to toot my own horn a little...

Excited! Just bought a Polar F4 off of Ebay!
Can't wait for it to get here to see how much I'm really burning when I do things! It'll be interesting to see if I'm really burning 700 calories in my hour long step class (I hope so!).
