I gained 45 pounds when I was out of work and have lost about 30 of it in the past year. My goal weight is 155-160 pounds. Still got 15-20 to go. I get plenty of exercise from work. It's my lack of discipline where ice cream is concerned that is slowing me down. But I feel much better now than I did at 207 pounds. I'm only 5'5" and hauling around all that weight was exhausting.
