Iโ€™m been trying to be healther with my easting and exersize routine for about 5 months now, and I am glad to say it is really paying off. I started at 192 (yuck) and a size 14 was getting snug. Today I am 162, and I went shopping yesterday and everything I purchased was size 10, and looks great. I am thrilled. Shopping is really fun now ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ---

Yes I feel so much better. I have more energy, and also, I think even more important, I feel better emotionally. I was disgusted with myself when I was so heavy, and I have so much more confidence now. I feel great! Thanks for asking ๐Ÿ™‚ ---

Way to go! Itโ€™s an awesome feeling, isnโ€™t it? I remember losing 45 lbs and going from a 14 to a size 4 - the first time I put on a size 4 skirt, I wanted to cry. (Of course, now Iโ€™m back up to a 10, but Iโ€™m working on that). Losing weight is HARD WORK and you deserve every accolade possible for it. Ava ---
