Today marks 6 months since I started taking care of myself on July 20, 2011. I thought it would take me a year but it took about 5 months to go from size 16 to 4/6. I can't even wear size 8 pants anymore--they sag on me!

On February 1, I celebrate 6 months of working out consistently, 6x a week for an hour or longer.

The most important thing is that I'm managing to maintain my loss.
