thanks everyone for all of the compliments! Some of you really stroked my ego LOL I pranced around all day feeling cute. That doesn't happen very often

And yes, I am very happy! Almost all the health woes I was having are gone, my skin looks fantastic, as does my hair. And I feel accomplished, like I have conquered the unconquerable.
Even though I have 80+ pounds to go, coming this far seems like a dream!
