I'm glad to find a thread with other women around my age; it's good to have support. I'm 26, and I've been doing this for about 6 months now. I have my good days, and my bad...I find it gets a little easier, but you still have to work at keeping up your enthusiasm and vigilance. The most encouraging thing is the weight loss -- I started at 225, and I'm now 162 or so.

I'm going to be the Maid of Honor is my best friend's wedding this August, and for the first time, I'm feeling ok about the dress! My main goal now is getting back to the gym I already joined, and actually using it this time. I've been taking off weight slowly and steadily, but I think exercise would speed up the process. I'd also like to hear more about BFL.

It's nice to meet you all!
