Wow, good job! You have every right to feel extra proud...30 lbs, how exciting.

CONGRATULATIONS! So what are you going to do to CELEBRATE?? :O)

When I hit that 30 mark, I couldn't wait to drive the 4 hours to my Dad's house to "show off"!
He's 94 and he hasn't seen me healthy size for more than 30 yrs! Sure, he saw me an "unhealthy" size a lot,
but I wanted to go celebrate with him, because I knew he wanted me to lose some pounds even though he never pushed me.
I laughed when he said, "You look like a spring chicken!" Nope, can't turn back the years, but I'm so happy
to have been successful getting rid of some of those unwanted pounds.
Just this morning, I stood in front of the mirror and marveled at the difference my efforts have made.
Haven't bought any new clothes yet, but love how my old clothes aren't bulging at the seams. LOL

30 pounds!!! What a milestone! Congratulations again! And yes! It's hard to resist those tears of joy!! Well deserved!!!!!!!
