I started this job in September 2006, after giving birth to my wonderful daughter in June 2006. When I started work, I weighed around 265 lbs!!! I have been on & off diets and excersizing in between. I am down to 213 lbs! I am glad and also disappointed.... it took way too long to lose 50 lbs, but I know it won't be back since it did take soooo long! With my height at 5'5" and my age being 23... I still have about 60-70 lbs. to shed to meet my "ideal" weight!
