Hi Jessica! You sound a lot like me, I'm 5'8" and I also used to weigh 189, but I lost weight, although you are farther ahead than I am, I weigh about 170, 168 right now. I do that snacking thing you do a lot, lol. And when I gain weight, i can do that fast, but I can also lose weight just as fast. Congrats on the weight loss so far. ----icebluegrrl@yahoo.com----
