Congrats! Being in regular sized clothing must feel fantastic, as well as having the energy to keep up with your exercise and the kids :) Keep up the good work!! Glad to hear the hair loss has slowed down - I am almost at month 4 and the clumps coming out are a little alarming!! Feels like it will never stop until I am bald, lol ;)
