Ready to start this

Ok. Becky's Christmas cookies are all gone, so I feel like I'm ready to start this. I weigh 227lbs. Not an all-time high for me, but close enough. I am a beautiful woman with a big butt and belly. I wear mostly size 20 and 22 pants now. I would prefer to be size 16 or below for the rest of my life. I just measured my bust at 46", waist at 44", hips go up to 52" - gasp! Mid, upper arm is 13", mid-thigh is 25" - and that's really all I feel like measuring.
