Wow! Yesterday was a big day for me.

I weighed and checked-in with my new weight and as you can see, my tracker now has what is left to lose as less than 20 lbs! I mean, I know to some 20 lbs is a lot but compared to what I've lost........I feel like I am in the home stretch!!

I am realistic enough to know that I will proably get to that "Arggghhh last 10 lbs taking forever" thing.......but whatever! I feel SO great and shopping is SO much fun and I just know I will get there. My goal from day one was to do this healthy. Who would have thought just sticking to it would see such a change in a year.

I have truly appreciated all your words of encouragement and of thanks over the last few months and you all telling me how great I have done. Today is the first day I think about it and feel it myself! I mean, I have felt good losing weight...but for some reason at 34, the sun is shining on me today and I am smiling and anticipating what is to come in the next few decades (HOPEFULLY!! hehe)

Keep on, keepin on people!!! It's possible!!

    Good job. You Rock. I've read you might start "trying" next month. Are you trying to reach your goal before that? Or are you just going to pick up where you leave off? Just curious? And Noisey?:bigsmile: I would love to have another baby I'm so jealous.
