Down 80 pounds (01/05/2013)
I just looked at my "before" photo this morning. What a sad lady that was. Just a little over 200 pounds, thinking "this was it". I had dieted and lost so many times in the past - then turned around and gained it all back. Classic yo-yo dieter. A friend of mine told me he was going to have the ... * read more.
