I am happy to report (brag) that I was successful in my family weight loss challenge (the big losers challenge), and I have lost 20 pounds in 12 weeks. :) And more importantly, I can fit back into my clothes! I am now done and just need to figure out how the hell to maintain weight. The internet tells me I could eat 50% more calories than I have been eating, which just seems strange. I mean I've been happy, healthy, and even full with my current number of calories, so adding 50% is counterintuitive. But I guess that's a good problem to have.
