having been 29 and 39 , i can tell you its alot harder to lose the weight when your older so if you can take it off and lose it now, and keep it off, your ahead of the game.. I made the mistake of getting comfortable when i got married and now i have to work 2x as hard.. youve come to the right place for support.. I love this place!! Sound like you know what you want. Now make it happen!! Way to go on the veggies !!
