Topic: A loose size 18!
No more sizes with a two in them for me! I am thrilled with my weight loss. It's slow but steady and consistent. If I weigh any sooner than monthly, I get discouraged but every single month, more weight is gone almost without effort.

Congrats on your "loss" I bet it is the best thing you have ever lost in your life without wanting to find it again...lol From experience with my husband... it is what you are meant to lose ... whether it be fast or slow .... it will happen! You are doing great!
