DI'm barely 5ft so that doesn't leave much room for excess baggage. Over 4 years ago and before I was 236lbs, I have over the last 3 1/2 yrs lost over 70 lbs, and have kept if off using my so called balance of carbs, protein, fat, etc. Believe me this was not even close to a realistic goal wt. I have though in the last year slowly gained 20+lbs back. I have still tried to maintain, some good eating habits, with a few bad ones thrown, otherwise, it could have been worse. I have tried many types of excercise equipment, diet monitering (not the extreme ones) to me if does not makesense as this is a lifetime commitment or way of life. I believe you do more damage with fast wt loss. I joined Curves last Spring, went faithfully for a few months and then tapered off. I live in a rural area and it is a 20 min drive for me, just in good weather. And I will not drive in the winter there because I work full time so going in the daytime is not an option for me. I have watched the show Exteme Makeover and was in awe of the results of the 6 or 8wk program individuals went through, (although I will need much more). The day after Xmas, I decided to get a little more focused again, which I have. Then just this week, watching one of my shopping channels in the evening I came across this program offer, which I never knew was offered . So seeing already the results, what did I have to lose but wt and sculpt my body and gain more knowledge. To me you have to have your mind set to commit to this, and since I was already in that of sound mind , (but I'm also an impulse shopper too!) I made the purchase. I hope to succeed! I received the package on 1/09/04 and have taken the Body Type test. To me some of the question's were yes but maybe no. Anyway I'm off to read up on the program and watch the videos. Start date 01/10/04 1st 6wks 20lbs lost and 20" inches gone 2nd 6wks 31lbs 30.5 inches gone and 30.5 inches gone 3rd 6wks 40lbs 4th 6wks 50lbs 5th 6wks 55lbs 6th 6wk
