Therese.......as for clothes fitting.......I have started to take out my skinnier clothes.......size 10/12.......yipppppppeeeee. It has been a year but I slacked off for a few months and now I am back. I never realized how much thinner a person looks losing 35 lbs. I have the darn belly fat I don't know how to start to get rid of that. I am doing 100 sit ups every other day and it hasn't helped.
