What a great topic Tammy! I weighed 176 on New Years day. My lowest was 168 (for like 1 day!) and my stable was 173 for a long time. Been at 176 for awhile now though. It's not bad and I'm not unhappy with it. Would like to be in the 150's though. One day I'll get there! Anyway, I started out weighing 360 lbs and wearing (tight!) size 30 jeans and 4X shirts (mostly guys shirts). I now wear anywhere from size 10 - 14 jeans (WOO HOO!) and M or L shirts. What an amazing difference!! For my New Years Resolution I'd like to get fit. I know I said that after my first year, but this time I mean it! I think I'd feel better if I had more muscle. I've also slacked on my vitamin regime, so a big resolution for me is to get back in the habit and keep it there. And back to focusing on protein first. The holidays were HORRIBLE for me in that regard. Ugh! When I eat mainly carbs, my stomach & intestines start misbehaving so I'm going to go back to protiens & get all that back in line. Not to mention what all the bad eating has done to my face. Good grief I never had zits like this in high school!! It was good to hear from ya'll! Take care & I think of you guys a lot! Hugs, Lisa
