Let's see my wieght loss saga of the past three years:

I moved here at about 155 lbs and a smoker. I am only 5'3" (June 200)

I quit smoking for good in Jan. 2001 (still around 155) My partner moved in with me and we began to eat out probably 3- 5 times a week. I was actually going to the gym albeit doing a half assed job at my workouts.

By Jan 2002 I had ballooned up to just over 180 lbs. I decided enough was enough. I started to implament the steps I described above.

By Jan. 2003 I was about 160 pounds. At this time I started to go to the gym first thing in the morning when I was working a normal shift. Which meant I had to wakeup at 5am.

I am now down to just below 145lbs. I look and feel better than I ever before. My goal is to be between 135 and 140 hopefully with in the next 6 months. I have been around 145 for the past 3 - 4 months now.
