It took me about 2 weeks longer than i had anticipated, due to a stall a few weeks ago, but finally, for 2 days in a row now, I have weighed below obese status. Now, I am simply overweight. Only 23 more pounds to go to a normal BMI. Since I started out needing to lose almost 80 pounds, 23 seems like absolutely nothing at this stage of the game. I am actually sitting here thinking about a slinky black dress to go out in on New Years Eve. Rather silly I suppose, since I'm not to slinky stage yet, but I cant seem to get the image out of my head. I havent gone out seriously dressed up for New Years Eve in...well, 2 decades, and it's never been something that I have particularly cared about, but for some reason it has become a goal of mine.

What great progress - congratulations! You have every right to be thinking about slinky black dresses for New Year's Eve!

Excellent! Well done!
