Something interesting I realized -- I've now lost 1/3 of my original

I've been doing my "tough love" workout routine for three weeks now.
"Tough love" for me means 3 very hard workouts a week where I get my
pulse to near its maximum for 30 plus minutes - like running uphill.

It's been a year since I joined a gym and started trying to improve my
health in earnest.  A year ago, I weighed about 147, and wore size 10-12
pants.  I now weigh 128 (up from my summer low of 119), and wear size 4-6
