Down-sizing

Ellyn Ritterskamp

When my mom sees these pants being too big on me, she will insist I give them away. I am still within a pound of my starting weight, but the walking and squats are making a difference. This matters far more than the number on the scale.

I have been excited and inspired by The Observer's new blog featuring three readers on a quest to lose weight and get fit. Check it out at http://cltbiggestlosers.blogspot.com/

Onward!
