I hit 2 major milestones today...I lost 20 lbs (weight loss now starts with a 2!!!) and my BMI classification is OVERWEIGHT (not OBESE). I am so happy!!!!!!!!!!
One step closer to a healthy pregnancy (fingers crossed), meeting my husband's extended family and feeling like I am making a good first impression AND almost to the 100s (as oppsed to 200s).
Yayyyy meeeeee!!!
