10 ~ I've gone my entire life needing to lose 5, 10, 15 lbs (size 14/16 on top & size 12 on bottom) ~ but being 30 lbs overweight is all new to me and I hate it! I wanna be a size 10 everywhere! It's a triple whammy of Rx, Lymphedema (thanks to Ovarian Cancer surgery); AND the fact that I became so SKINNY during Chemo (in 2005 I lost 50+ lbs) that I was a such a sick skeleton ~ once I could eat again ~ boy howdy did I ever!! I gained back ALL the weight and then some!!
Problem is, I did NOT exercise like I should have. If I had of, I probably wouldn't be here now...
