CONGRATULATIONS!!! WAY TO GO!!!

I lost 45 pounds and have so far managed to keep it off but I did it on my own and took my time. It took me 3 years of just eating healthy. I bought all my clothes at the used clothing stores because I was having to by a different size so often. Now that I have stopped loosing and maintaining my weight, I buy new clothes more often but I still prefer to buy used jeans. I went from size 14 to 16 to size 4 to 8's now. Loosing all that weight has made me look so OLD now but I guess I am getting old so I may as well be thin..

My weight gain was caused by going to work on the river and being able to cook anything I wanted at someone elses expense and being able to try all those new recipes.. all that good food, you HAVE to eat it... right? I would gain 10 pounds a trip, loose 5 while off and over time, it added up..
