Congrats! That's awesome!
Lady A - Your avatar is the epitome of adorable to me. So cute!
As for a check-in...I haven't completely given up hope on making my 5 pound goal.
Honestly, I'd be thrilled to lose even 3 pounds this month. My weight loss has been so slow since I had to cut out my daily exercise in July (health issue). I've recently become able to handle a small amount of exercise. It feels great to get blood flowing to my muscles again, but I don't yet have the strength to move enough to actually generate weight loss from exercise. Based on how I'm feeling, I think it'll probably only be a month or so before I'm able to pick up where I left off in July.
I hope it's sooner though!
Anywho, my goal is unlikely for this month but I'm still going to give it my best shot.
