I've lost 50% of my starting weight ... :-D
I have just reached another goal. I started out at 309, I have lost 154.5 lbs., so I am 1/2 the person I once was, but TWICE the woman (she said with a smile on her face).
So, don't give up hope. I'm still losing after all this time (slowly, but still going down). The "TOOL" can keep working if you treat it right. Best Wishes, All!
