Goal Weight achieved at last! Lots of photos

Well 41lbs lighter and just under six months later I finally achieved my goal and now move onto maintenance.
To say it has been an adventure would be putting it mildly, it has been one big eye-opener, but the stuff I have learned in these last few months has been enormous! For instance, I would never have known what absolute gems the people on this Site are, the support and encouragement have been tremendous, so many new friends have been made that have been worth their weight in gold! Bless them all, because their support has been crucial!
Briefly, I started this weightloss on 24th May, 2010 and reached my goal this morning - 20th November, 2010.
I started off at 179lbs and ended up at 137.5lbs, a loss of 41lbs - my goal had been 138lbs, but one massive push this past week ended up taking me past that, let's just say I was over the moon! I am just over 5 foot 7 inches tall.
Measurements, I lost a total of
just over 6 1/4 inches off my waist
just under 6 inches off my hips
just over 6 inches off my belly
4 1/4 inches off each thigh
1 1/4 inches off each calf
I started off at a UK size 16 dress size and am now a UK size 10
I started off with a BMI of 27.5, it is now 21.1
I am hoping these photos appear
June 2009:
Before at the beginning of May 2010: (179lbs)
Beginning October, 2010 (nearly there): (145lbs)
Beginning of November, 2010 (not long to go): (141lbs)
At goal weight (137.5lbs):
