My loss last week was not as dramatic as it appears as the April 8 weight was an outlier 2 pound overnight gain after a social gathering at a friend's house. I'm happy to be between 130-135.

That's a great quote. Whether I lose another pound or not, my life is so much better now. I'm actually starting to plan some adventures I couldn't have done a year ago. Life is too short not to try your best to make the best of it.
