Thank you all!! A new century is exciting - 10 more new decades until Onederland...that doesn't sound too bad.
Now it's a matter of staying on course - the easy first pounds are done and gone but a pound a week puts me at my first goal a year from now. If I can do better than a pound a week, great! But if not, next spring I will be 52lbs lighter and I can't complain about that.
EDIT: Oh and Lunar I LOVE the picture, lol.
