I am happy for you two Poplife and Wonderful08, and for everyone else who is striving to achieve their weight goal. I too was a 14, my stomach was sooo BIG I had to wear all of my shirts out side my pants and sometimes wear some of my pants unbuttoned. With a new way of eating, substitution and discipline, I came down from 165 to 147. I am still striving to get my weight down to 140 and maintain it.
