WOWWOWWOW! You gals are amazing! Aside from catching that hidden little detail of mine, and blowing me away with your support

, every last one of you is such an inspiration, and each a joy to read, to boot!
Sorry, I've been gone through most of today - busy getting the younger dd on flight with school band trip (actually pulled an overnighter, after a busy weekend trying to negotiate packing/ tossing/ shopping/ packing with said dd) and am now trying to catch up! However - did go to local garden center, to dream - and gleefully sat down on a resin garden seat that I would have doubted could hold me, 4 months ago. I've been secretly

everywhere today! and not just because I've kept the muscle and ditched the fat,

! Besides getting to ONEderland, today is also the day I'm officially half-way to goal, or half-way between my highest encumbrance and my wedding day weight!
Seriously, my older dd had to come over, and see why I was making such a ruckus while reading stuff off the computer. So now she knows! You guys are just so enthusiastic, and now the cat's out of the bag! Oh well - it's getting time to buy a new wardrobe AGAIN - guess I couldn't hide it forever, eh? (And she burst out laughing with the "less hips, less hips, hooray!" in harmony with me!)
