Welcome Swoozieq. Great advice from your brother - to read the book. It will help so much to be prepared.

I'm glad you aren't trying to get back to the 105 you used to weigh. You may find that you are happy with your appearance with a higher number than even 114. LC tends to get rid of the fat while allowing a person to put on lean sleek muscle. As that weighs more but takes up less room than fat, you could be amazed at the change in your shape as you approach your goal area & be happy to stop at a higher number. After all, it's only a number and health is more important than a number.
