Cheryl ~~ Congrats, I'm so happy for you!!!

Wow! I'm blown away by all of the responses to my post!

Today has been a very special day for me, and, YES, one that I will DEFINITELY add to my "Most Memorable Days" list...FOREVER!

Tonight I drove to the airport to pick up my husband who had just flown in from a week-long math conference in Chicago. We had a very nice dinner afterwards, and I had already planned it into my calories for the day so I could enjoy it without guilt. That is VERY new for me to do! (You CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

At the airport one of my husband's coworkers told me that I looked younger and so much more rested. She then had me "do a spin" and said, "Hey girl! You are melting away!" (This in the MIDDLE of the baggage area with TONS of people around! ) I am NOT used to attention like this! I need to learn all about how to react when people PAY ATTENTION to me like that!

Anyway, I can say without a doubt that my recent success of getting over that AWFUL eight-month plateau was because I got great advice from all of you on this site! My ten-pound loss after SOOOOOOOO long at the same weight was thanks to getting going with Fitday. (Thanks again, Robin! ) I am continually amazed at the POWER of sharing weight loss experiences with so many who really "get" it about how I am feeling!

Thanks again you guys! You have helped to make this a day I will always remember!

Cheryl, I'm sorry I'm late to the celebration, but I just want to tell you how VERY VERY happy I am, and how PROUD I am of you!!! I've been meaning to PM you back about our Onederland celebrations, and I've had a hard time keeping up with posts the last few days unfortunately...but here I am, with a HUGE smile on my face because I'm so excited for you!!!

Enjoy this wonderful time in your life -- enjoy knowing that you will never go back to weighing more than 200 pounds. You simply won't. Your life has changed! Yay!!!
