Hi there! I am 184 lbs and hope to reach 150 as well. Just like you, I would like to fit into size 9's again. I began moving and making better food choices 3 weeks ago. It's been a slow start, but I'm still moving along. What I did was get a new water bottle (orange!) right away and I take it with me
everywhere. I thought I could exercise on my own and found I could not. So, I joined Curves and it gives me a place to go and it's working for me.
Good luck and will check on your progress (as you and I have the same goal).
