So have you tried the WW or other diets yet?  Hope you've had some success!  I wanted to update you on my progress.  As of a week & a half ago I've lost 54 lbs & 39" off my body.  I have to go get weighed tomorrow, I know I've lost more weight & am over 55 lbs lost.  I'm still doing the stuff I mentioned above, I do however slack off here & there.  It's ok to take a little break, but it's important to get back in there.  The complements & encouragement have really kept me going...oh and getting out of plus sized clothing is AWESOME!!! :)  It's funny, I can find clothes on the clearance rack that'll fit me & I forgot how smaller is actually cheaper than the plus sizes.  If I can lose weight, anybody can!!!!!
