The first time I tried it kind of half heartedly. I lost a little weight and became bored with the whole thing.

Then I saw my step mother lose about 40 pounds in two months while I was still a whale and I freaked out! I went right back on it and lost 80 pounds. I lost 40 really fast ( the first 2 months) and lost the next 40 or so really slowly over the 8 months that followed reaching my goal weight of 125 pounds and a size 6 for the first time in my life since I was a teenager.

I had a terribly hard pregnancy last year - ended up on bed rest as I was unable to walk at all - and of course gained it all back.

So here I am again - but happy as I know I am well on my way to being there again!!!
