High five: goal

I find it quite humorous that you wanted confirmation from two different scales. I often get on my scales two or three times to be sure they aren't teasing me. Congratulations on your hard work!

OMG, totally. I was like - no $@# way. Plus I was on the bicycle. Rode about a mile out of my way to get on that second scale. :-) Then I was like - holy crap!

Thanks everybody for the kind words. I have to admit, it came at just the right time. I was stuck at just over 180 for so long - I was very nearly ready to call it quits and accept 182 as the new normal. So it was really gratifying to see those EVIL scales tick to the south side of 180.

Now the REALLY hard part begins: maintenance. YIKES! Wish me luck.
