OK, I don't know if this will make sense, since I'm STILL recovering from how bad I was during the holidays! I was down 7.5 at the middle of January, then gained 5, now down 2.5 from there (when you include the 1.4 I lost this week). So, I'm still not back to where I was in December, but I am also working out and lifting weights regularly now, when I wasn't before and my clothes fit better...
