      That is an awesome feeling isn't it? I had my own moment like that with the scale yesterday. It said 2 lbs less than the last time AND I finally weigh less than I did pregnant. (I'm not currently pregnant). I was over joyed and had a stupid grin on my face all day :) Here is to more days like that for both of us.

      you are AMAZING!

      i posted this on my profile this morning...

      The number one reason why people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go, instead of how far they have already come.

      but i know you wont give up!

      very entertaining and motivational read.
      CONGRATS and thanks for sharing. It helps to put all of this in perspective. All you want to be able to use a normal scale and fit in any car. I'm sure that when you're there you'll be like "heck! I might as well keep going" and your will reach your goals.
      :)

      wow fantastic! Have you ever thought of writing articles or even some books? You're seriously good. When you were on the scales, eyes squeezed shut, then open one eye, the suspense! I was thinking what did it say? What is it? What is it?! lol well done!

      Loved your post! Your son is going to be so proud of you when you lose this weight! What kind of program are you doing? My husband is a big man & he does so good on the low carb. diet because he feels like he is still able to eat the foods he loves & still have a few beers too! Your doing great, just take one day at a time!
