Hi CarolSue, I'm glad I read your post today. I have some things in common with you. When I started in Jan. I weighed 271, and started reading the posts here. I've only started to post myself about 2 weeks ago. If I'm not to nosey, could you tell me what size you are now that you weigh 205? The reason I ask is I don"t weigh myself at all I go by size. I know from other times I have lost weight, that when I was about 200, I wore a size 16-18. lol, ddmumm
