Good morning to everyone in IP land! Monday is here again. Hope everyone has an awesome on plan day!

Good morning! I stepped on the scale this morning and.....I have hit my goal!!! Can't wait for "official" WI on Thursday! Have a great OP day everyone!!!

Woohoo!!! Can't imagine the feeling! Well, I just saw a number I haven't seen in years...189 on my home scale :carrot:
It will be different at weigh in, but who cares! It exists, lol!!! Still no TOM, seems I skipped it this month, but cramps have lessened, so maybe the water retention have left? Anybody skip TOM? How did it affect your water retention? Did you continue to cramp throughout?
Wish I could all show you how different I looked in that dress (in my avatar) in November, DH was beside himself!

Whoop whoop! Bet you're glad you avoided the kids temptations!! Congrats :)
