S/C/G: 198/170ish/160-???

Height: 5.6 on a tall day

Default 167.5 today

Blink. Blink. You know that feeling when you can't believe the scale? Is it lying? I got off/on like 5 times. Really.

I weighed in this morning b/c I didn't weigh in yesterday to check on my goal of 169. I knew I had already hit 169, but I was nervous thinking I may have gained, so I didn't bother yesterday to check. Today it was "face the music" time. I was stunned. I still don't believe it, so perhaps changing my stats and posting it will make it a reality. (Of course, we're going out for dinner tonight so I could be full of sodium tomorrow and make the scale go in the other direction again but I'll stay off it for another week.)

I need some attention. I need some support. If I didn't I wouldn't be posting here. This weigh in today was about the best thing that has happened to me in months. I endured a disappointment this week, and a personal realization that while I try to be a good person and put myself "out there" for others, and always give 100% effort.......being that way can get me taken advantage of. I'll get over it but for the moment, I'm disappointed in myself, others, and hurt. I won't nurse the hurt...it will pass.

So, go me. Yay me. For someone with hypothyroidism, type 2 diabetes and a fatty liver.......I've managed to lose 30 pounds in a year, 20 of them in the past 6 months. For that, I'd say that just a little bit of me....is awesome!!!

Congratulations!!! Isn't it great to see a significant loss when you actually expected to see a gain?

Keep up the good work!
