@Crazy Hitch - Are you continuing to exercise? Exercise really does make a big difference. And even if you don't lose weight with exercise, you definitely firm up and look like you weigh less. My mother has been obese my entire life and recently starting walking 30 minutes daily. The last time I saw her, I asked her if she'd lost weight because it looked like she had lost maybe 25 lb. She said no, just that she's walking daily now. It makes a big difference!
