Good morning!!!

It is a glorious day for me (well it was since Friday) but still because I am exactly at my halfway point to my ultimate goal of losing 140 lbs. It has taken me a year to get where I am today but its been a year of much knowledge learned including joining this wonderful site since April with so many wonderful people who give support freely. I love that I have become addicted to exercise, love that i can have my cake and eat it too but in moderation, love that people now come to me for advice on how to lose weight and most importantly love that I can now walk in heels 24/7 and not die from the pain in my back or feet :bigsmile:

I have such a nice group of people on here that are simply phenomenal in always rooting for me but one person particularly who no matter what has happened in my day somehow always puts a smile on my face because she is just so caring and goes the extra mile to make sure I know how wonderful I am and that she thinks the world of me...thank you Keri for being instrumental in my mental well-being :flowerforyou:

So here is to the next 13 lbs. to lose to finally be in ONE-derland...I cannot freaking wait!!! :drinker:
