Thanks Dolittle. I started Last Nov, mid month on the diet. But I joined Curves last May (which I gotta say is THE best place in the world for women to go - no men allowed and women of all shapes an sizes go to get in shape so you dont feel self conscious about your self at all) I didnt take the weight loss thing serious enough until I had been at curves for 6 months, working out alone wont lose all the weight, you still have to change your eating habits! I sound like an Ad for them but 30 minutes a day really works! gets you in shape and wow you feel so good with in only a month! Their staff are super helpful, they have a few books on weight management that are amazing.
