I lost almost 40 lbs about 3 years ago. I was at 202 when I started Weight Wathcers. Got down to 165 and felt really good but got lazy last year and especially this past winter. Cheese and cookies are my downfall oh yea with an occasional bag of cheetos from the vending machine at work so I was up to 192 when I started to really keep an eye on my consumption, eatin smaller portions and keeping the junk food at bay and also not soft drinks. Its working and I'm feeling better. My wife looked at me with out my shirt yesterday and told me " hey theres less of you than there was last month" glad she noticed and I did take up another notch in the belt.
